From claiming he’s quit Instagram and that the secret service is after him over allegations of using counterfeit money in his photos, to pissing off the judge presiding over his bankruptcy case over and over because of the way he’s been publicly flaunting his wealth, 50 Cent’s been having a real shitty 2016 so far. Right about now is where I’d provide a juxtaposition, maybe say something like “But his luck is on the up-and-up, as he was just spotted with A BRAND NEW PUPPY” or whatever it is that 50 Cent enjoys besides money, Vitamin Water and…vodka, I guess? But unfortunately I can’t do that, because he still has to pay $23 million dollars back to his creditors over the next five years:
Rapper 50 Cent has reached a deal with his creditors that stipulates he pay $23 million dollars over the next five years.
The amount works out to around $400,000 a month and is 74 per cent of what he originally owed.

It’s one of those things where you’re like “Phew, glad that’s settled OH WAIT JUST KIDDING I still owe TWENTY THREE MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS. NOTHING IS SETTLED.” But that’s just me – 50 here likes to look on the bright side of things, hence why he was caught throwing stacks at a strip club in celebration of coming to an agreement in his case:
But hours after proposing the arrangement the rapper was photographed at the Ace of Diamonds strip club in Los Angeles, where he reportedly spent $5,000.

Anyone want to make bets on whether or not he was throwing fake money at the strippers? Or maybe he just hit them all up individually and politely asked for it back – “Ms. Crystal Rain, is it? Well I humbly apologize but I’m going to need back that $200 I handed to you. You see I am bankrupt, and I need that money to put in my Instagram photos so no one realizes how poor I am. Kind of like this:”

“You can keep the one I slid into your ass though – no really. Keep that one.”
