Rapper 50 Cent just filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. We'll spare you the puns.
"Where the big bills?"
The rapper -- whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III -- filed the papers in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Hartford, Connecticut.
According to those papers, Jackson has assets and debts ranging from $10-$50 million and up to 49 creditors. This is only days after he was ordered to pay a woman who sued him for invasion of privacy over a sex tape he wasn't in but was accused of posting online.
But considering his role in the upcoming movie "Southpaw," that clothing line he co-founded and the minority stake he had in Vitamin Water -- the bankruptcy filing might be a bit surprising.
The rapper is also involved with two production companies and recently signed a $78 million deal with underwear maker Frigo Revolutionwear.
