50 Cent Says His Lifestyle Is Fake 50 Cent wants you to know that his brokeness is real. After filing for bankruptcy last week — presumably to avoid a $5 million payout to Rick Ross’ baby mama — 50 is letting the courts know that his struggle is authentic and all his lavish living is 100% for show. Via PageSix : It’s a counterfeit 50 Cent! The rapper, ordered to testify about his finances in Manhattan Supreme court Tuesday morning, said that his over-the-top displays of wealth — the bling, the Lamborghinis, Bentleys and Rolls Royces — are all smoke and mirrors. “Those cars were rented,” admitted the 40-year-old rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson. “It’s like music videos, they say action and you see all these fancy cars but everything goes back to the dealership,” he added. The rings, the chains? “I borrowed from the jeweler,” he admitted. In reality, he owns just three gold chains, which he has a jeweler refashion into a new piece every now and then, he said. And forget about a diamond-studded Rolex–he said he wears a plastic Casio G-Shock instead. A jury is deciding how much Fitty has to fork over to a woman whose private sex tape he posted online, in order to get back at rival rapper Rick Ross, who once fathered a baby with the woman. Earlier this month, the civil court jury ordered Jackson to pay $5 million to the woman, Lastonia Leviston, 33. Now in a second trial, the same jurors are deciding what amount of money would be an appropriate punishment as well as a deterrent to prevent him from doing a similar thing again. But the “Get Rich or Die Tryin’” star tried to downplay his wealth as mostly a front. “The hip-hop culture is aspirational,” he said. Damn, homie. Who would have thought that 50 was faking the funk so hard?
