50 Cent testified in court today (July 21) and described his finances to a jury who will decide if he has to pay punitive damages to Lastonia Leviston for posting a sex tape of her, Page Six reports.
50 says that the cars and jewelry that he displays in social media are not his.
“It’s like music videos,” he says. “They say action and you see all these fancy cars but everything goes back to the dealership.”
The rapper says that he owns three gold chains and wears a plastic Casio G-Shock watch, not a diamond-studded Rolex.
“The Hip Hop culture is aspirational,” he says.
50 Cent says that his net worth is around $4.4 million, not $155 million as Forbes reports.
He admitted that he owns a 21-bedroom home on 17 acres in Connecticut and that he receives six digits for various appearances.
The report says that 50 apologized to Leviston, who was seated in the crowd. He says that the competitive nature of the Rap game caused him to post the tape of her. Leviston has a child with Rick Ross.
“I’m sorry if you feel like I hurt you,” 50 Cent says.
50 was supposedly all smiles as he gave his report to the jury, which consists of four women and two men.
“You gotta smile when you’re in a public situation,” he says. “If you’re crying they’re just having more fun with you.”

A jury decided today (July 10) that 50 Cent must pay $5 million to Lastonia Leviston for posting a sex tape of her, Daily News reports.
The rapper must pay damages to Leviston, who has a daughter with Rick Ross, for two counts. The first is for violating her civil rights by posting an image of her without her permission. The second is for intentional affliction of emotional distress. Each count is $2.5 million.
50 Cent was not present at the trial or the verdict.
(The original article in this thread was published on June 17 and is as follows.)
Rick Ross’ baby mother, Lastonia Leviston appeared in a New York City court earlier this week to speak on the personal damage, which resulted from rapper 50 Cent allegedly putting a sex tape featuring the woman on his website.
Leviston is currently suing 50 Cent over the release of the sex tape, which the Queens, New York lyricist says he did not make public.
According to XXLMag.com, during her appearance in court on June 15, Leviston stated that the release of the video caused her emotional damage.
Additionally, Leviston’s lawyer, Philip Freidin informed jurors that 50 Cent gained a great deal from the release of the sex tape on his website. According to Freidin, the video brought extra traffic to a site where the rapper sold merchandise, concert tickets, and music.
It was previously reported that the sex tape brought in over 3 million views on YouTube.
50 Cent’s lawyer, James Renard attempted to denounce Leviston’s claims in courts, stating that “Her life is better because she filed this lawsuit against Rick Ross’ rival.”
In addition to Leviston’s lawsuit against 50 Cent, 50 is suing Rick Ross. According to the rapper, the Maybach Music Group founder is the one responsible for the sex tape leak.

You’re white Justin, stop it. Why haven’t you cleaned your room yet?
5 Million?? LMFAO ARE YOU SERIOUS? This dude stays losing millions. This is karma for years of bullying and abusing people. He was just ordered to pay 16 Mill to Sleek last year, and they froze his back account because he wouldn’t pay, now he has to pay out millions again AND he had to file for bankruptcy because his company failed. Karma is freaking REAL. He even said in an interview he doesn’t have much money and what his worth comes from assets. He will be broke again soon, just watch!
You sound stupid bro.
Son, your post is full of fail. 5 million is by no means a small number, but it still isn’t much to him. He may be broke in the future, not in the near future though. Proof of that interview saying he don’t got money?
lol at these 50 Cent stans saying 5 million isn’t much to him. They believe the forbes crap and think he has 100’s of millions of dollars. Forbes and these websites make up those numbers, no one knows how much money these people have. But when you look at it logically; his books fail, his straight to dvd movies failed, his clothing line/products fail, his albums fail, his headphones failed, his company is bankrupt, he’s losing millions of dollars in lawsuits, he has to maintain a multi million dollar house he wasn’t able to sell, child support, his indie label, artists, and various other expenses like lawyers, accountant, managers, etc. I doubt he even has 5 Million left.
Are you his accountant or something? Fuck outta here fakket
hahaha. Couldnt happen to a nicer fellow. That’s what you get for being a troll.
Price he paid for being petty and trolling online..other celebrities use personal assistant to deal with the public and now you see why…
lol…stupid mofo caught another L. First Bobby Shurmda’s homie clowns this dude for taking out preme with ghetto koran now this? Beefin with Rozay was the down fall of this fool. Dude aint recovered career wise and album sales wise since then.
Atleast Rozay aint gotta pay child-support for this heifer, thanks Curtis, you just lighted Rozay financial purse by 5 mill.
“Jealous stupid murther-f45ker!!”
did u not see shmurdas homie retract his statement the next day… he was scared
you the biggest loser here with all that time talking about somebody’s else’s down fall and hw much he be paying at least he has the $ to pay and that you will nvr have 4 the rest of your life, loser
SO HAPPY 50 LOST BET HIS STANS ARE MAD
Ha ha 50 you rat bustard, karmas a bitch

Ross lost, he hates his baby mama lmao damn well don’t want her to have 5 mill on top with child support still
50 taking so many Ls this year. Damn
damn she gonna be richer than ricky now LOL thats like how much he make every year (same as Mac Miller)… no but seriously, she wont see a dime of that
A grimey nigga like Curtis will never pay this. For 10% of that he could make her whole family disappear.
50 AIN’T PAYIN ANY CASH,IF FOR CASH OUT FOR HER,THAT WILL BE FROM FAT UP SKINNY BUTTOCK ROZAY POCKET,BETTER LOOK HOW THE LAWSUITE WILL GO FROM NEXT WEEK BOYZ
Get 50’s dick outta your mouth bitch
I wonder if 50 still feel those pimpin curly skits were all that funny after all? shit cost him 5 million dollars, what a fuckin loser this man 50 is lol
those skits ended up getting a hit tv show dummy
No ur the real Loser
He should of saw it coming, and Ross wins without flexin a muscle.
Funny, you said Ross and muscle im dead!
Nigga please, stop believing everything, That nigga doesnt want to pay, Plain And simple, and i would do the same, minimize everything, and hide anything valuable
I hear pimpin curly crying in darkness
he was in mimai celebrating his bday at KOD and Liv and mmg was nowhere to be seen.
50 aint paying shyt.
No Way how can my nigga fif be this broke??? how can fif be worth only 4.4 mill???? I thought he is worth more than 200 mill
thou
I wonder if he’s gonna revert back that “Guess Who’s Back” 50?
These niggas gon learn… stop rappin’ that money bullshit and start speakin’ on real world shit. Tha average muthafucka ain’t rich so fuck yo pockets nigga. All that money talk make muthafuckas look stupid, especially when they eventually hit bottom. Nothin’ last forever.
And for those that keep sayin’ Ross won… not by a long shot. His fat pudgy ass facin’ real time tryin’ to live up to a name that ain’t even his. He had to put up his own properties and then some just to post his own bail. Wasn’t nobody finna do shit for that nigga. The system gon make an example outta his ass though, believe that.
Hope he get bak to dat shit, dat real hood shit wit substance, if this wat it takes, I’m all for it..
50 said on His and Her’s last week that he doesn’t have much money himself, his companies do. His companies make him worth the $155 million, not himself. But since im sure he is on a board of directors of those companies, he reaps the benefits. He trying to limit her to his personal assets, just legally sliding out of this situation.
Dam homie in the 2000s you was man homie wtf happen you…
In the 10 years you’ve made about 30K per year working as a fast food manager.
I come to dx for the comments mostly*riddle me this*why in the fuck do so many love to defend an artists pockets*another grown ass Mans pockets*wonder why our country is in shambles and we as a nation keep failing*SMH*
Nigga u want the truth nothing but white people comment on this site
Gorilla, I think you put your hand in other men’s pockets so you can feel something larger than your 4 incher. It’s alright though, just go for a girl that cares about your personality and doesn’t mind that you’re a fat Mexican. Put your finger in her ass like how you practice right now, she’ll appreciate it.
Fuck another man’s pocket but 50 been doin this since ’03. He’s BEEN caking it. Stop fooling us fif
Rozay
by the time he has to pay and her lawyers fees she will walk away with 250.000 the most boo boo know what he is doin
Don’t play if you can’t pay!! He hiding cash blatantly but looks a right bitch for doing this lol. She got fucked on camera now we watching fif get fucked.
You’d like to watch another man get fucked, wouldn’t you? Bet you wearing your Pride shirt as you type, lame hoe.
Poor church rat 50, no wonder he hates to see people grow. Empty vessels they say makes the loudest noise. Foolish fool
This is another example of the white man destroying the hope and future of the black man trying to succeed in this society. The white man is not only raping black people for all the have but they have even turned black people against each other. This forum is full of black on black hatred, and thats what the white man wants.
50 one smart dude acting broke to protect his assets and finances
hahaha. To those 50 stans I’ve argued with in the past about him being a trash snake of a human being, where are you now?
This ho is gonna have so much money eaten away from lawyer fees, she’s not gonna get much in the end. 50 dragging this out as long as possible, and will still have plenty of money from his assets. You on the other hand, will still be fat and white.
You must have some kind of god complex thinking that you know people’s weight and skin color based on what they type on the internet. It’s almost as sad and lame as idolizing and standing up for a POS human that is 50.
WOW this mans smart. remember…..Donald Trump went “BANKRUPT” like 4 times. the rich always find loopholes
Donald Trump never went bankrupt. his business went bankrupt. like SMSPromotions going bankrupt is like Donald trump. But 50 personally going bankrupt is something Donald never did. 50 is a rapper that raps about money. he would never file bankruptcy if he had the money. Its bad for his image. For him to file bankruptcy means he is losing lots of money. Image is everything in hip hop. If jay or puffy went bankrupt, pimpin curly would had been all over youtube making fun about it. Tell me this, how many albums Bank sold (camron voice)
You all do realize that 50 Cent and his lawyer testified in court that he only has $4 million? Cut the crap about rich folks filing for bankruptcy all the time because that shit is not true. Donald Trump seems to be the only example that some of you know about. You don’t see Will Smith or Jay-Z filing for bankruptcy just to beat the system.
He’s still worth 100 million plus through his assets. At the end of the day, she aint gonna get much and he’s still gonna be banging hoes you only follow on Instagram.
This plea would actually work for 50, if his skin was a whole lot lighter. A whole lot lighter…….
lmfao this is too much. i wish i was there in the court room
That means you’d have to save up bus money, and we both know that aint happening. Go back to watching eating the Oreo cookies your momma bought you.
damn if 50 only got 4.4 imagine what officer ricky got, LOL, i mean he dont even give Tia 2k a month for his son, dats fucked
my nigga wore a casio to court
It’s because of that and him saying that he doesn’t have enough money so she won’t get anything from him. He’s still worth 100 million plus through his business assets. You on the other hand will still be wearing your momma’s crotchless underwear lol.
@Jay Diddy He’s not worth 100 Million and he never was. Get off his dick. lol He WAS worth 15 million and owes 30 million, which means he’s broke. Stop fantasizing about money that isn’t yours.
50 cent had to say that in court to keep up the illusion of him having the need to file bankruptcy.same way the clipse had to say and play like they were broke when their manager got indicted.Fforbes would never over the years have put him in articles if he didnt have legitimacy in overall wealth.
this nigga brag about his riches put stacks of money everywhere tu show the world how loaded he is ? Damn nigga its only 5 million and you can’t pay shit.I know ppl be like he is smart business man and all that shit… Mannn if ya the real deal my nigga even if its 10 million this is the real time to brag about your money. Just pay my nigga just pay up fo what you done.Dare to do it dare to accept it. Isnt this nigga representing the g-unit ? what u doin right now aint no fuckin g its p my nigga P.
you think people get rich by giving money away , 50 dont wanna pay shit and neither would i its the point not the money
Andrew than he is a weak ass nigga straightup! Only the real riches will give up their money to help the poor and the needy and they would’nt brag.Fake ass rich nigga like 50 will brag and be like stingy as f. You are missing the real point.Don’t brag shit when u aint shit simple. If u wana brag than proof it! Now isnt he disgracing himself right now ? If u think he is smart u’re a bootlicker he aint nth he weak ma nigga this proofs he aint rich he fake as f still being calculative over small matters. Come on bro its only 5 mill….
This clown Curtis admitted in court he’s been faking his wealth and living a total facade. Now you fucking stans finally believe what the rest of us have been saying for years: this dude is a TOTAL FRAUD. A phony fake gangster. A real man wouldn’t fucking LIE about material bullshit. Curtis has less money than his foes now and is in serious risk of having to pay punitive damages that could wipe him out. That’s what you get for being dicking around with stupid buffoonery. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
do you really believe 50? when your being told you need to pay 5 mill to your enemies baby mom you would be saying the same. if 50 said hes worth millions then the judge would tell him to pay the 5 million straight away. where as if he pretends he broke she will get nothing or it will at least slow down the payment process. forbes dont get shit like shit wrong. 50 is lying and it plain to see. he owns 3 chainz my ass lol haters will take this an an opportunity to slander 50 but in reality they know hes not broke.
Guys you need to understand something 50 is a businessman and he not stupid to say how much he really is worth because he will have to pay more so he playing it cool.
If it isnt disclosed in his court hearing, he’ll be Wesley Sniped.
Just face it, your hero went bust
O. J. Simpson did the same thing. He filed bankruptcy in Miami. Miami has a law to where if you are sued in civil court, the other party cannot get a cent out of you. The Brown family has not received a cent from O. J. And that was over 20years ago! 50 is doing the same thing. That broad will not see a cent!! Lol
I have nothing against 50 but I sided with The Game, When everyone was saying Game won’t make it without 50 and his career would go bust. But instead Game is richer than 50, and still has a decent Career and is more relevant. And working on a big album that will sell with Dre on production. Maybe Game could hire 50.
in your dreams!!!!!!!! if is 100x richer than gayme.
if is too smart and pretending to be broke. this nigga fif cant be this broke
50 learned the game well. filthy rich folks don’t keep their money under their name, they use corporations owned by trusts. they avoid owning anything under their name just for this very reason.
Hell yea.Lol maybe shit he be games hype man.
your dumb if you think 50 is broke, 50 only said he broke so he doesn’t need to pay rick ross baby moms 5 mill. look at young buck then say 50 is broke. buck is rich as fuck again because of 50. look at banks, yayo and kidd kidd all looking fresh as fuck. 50 isn’t letting rick ross win and if he needs to pretend hes broke he will do that. anyone with common sense knows 50s got his money stashed away so the judge doesn’t think hes worth 100 mill. game is broke as fuck when was the lat time he was buzzing? the young thug diss? what about the lil durk diss? game is washed up that’s why he attempted to diss g-unit when they reunited at the biggest hip hop event in the world. game even said he was willing to rejoin but 50 said no. now game is doing songs with rick ross and lil wayne. even that was limited.
Join the discussion Eish what a hek is gaan aan in da game.
Ofcourse Curtis isnt worth $150mil. That networth is more than a 10yrs ago. Dude make $100mill profit in the vit. water deal like 10yrs ago. Bought a big ass house and spends $$ like -ish. When was the last time this dude sold a decent album?->2007 that was the last time, Ofcourse dude had the money but was not making more afterwards, What major moves has this Gorrilla made that has been successful? Power just lost 500K viewers, the sleek headphone was sub-par and just copied ‘Beats by Dre’ in design-and everything else, I mean why buy it when everyone says its “It looks like Dr Dre Beats but doesnt sound as great”, SMS promos-BUSTED NO DECENT FIGHTERS,SMS audio-still copied beats-but ugly-Busted $17mill damages, Now he had to start selling gay-men underwear but giving his homophobic lyrics they aint buying it either…tried to copy CIROC with his peepee vodka, it couldnt sell much, had to personally visit Bodegas to sign each bottle so people will buy it. Common now? add the loses, the no music selling, the heavy expenses trying to keep up with Floyd Mayweather? U END UP BROKE.
“gggggg-uuu—–noooooot!”
stop living in denial. if you compare 50s album sales to how most rappers sell nowadays hes doing pretty good considering the amount of time hes been in the game. nobody can sell album now like 50 did 10 years ago, not even half. times have changed. 50s hasn’t had a platinum album in years but he has platinum and gold singles. this is 2015, where rappers don’t need albums to make money. nowadays you make a song then put it on itunes and sell it. by the looks of it your just a jealous ass troll, half of the shit you said has been twisted so it sounds worse than it is. actually nearly everything you said is false. power lost 500k viewers? completely false. critics have been pleased with power scoring 7.8 on Imdb and a 100% fresh rating on rotten tomatoes. it has also been a ratings success for starz. the second season premiere was the premium network’s highest ever season premiere with 1.43 million people tuning in live and now its been renewed for another season. the sleek headphone just copied beats? you dont even know what your talking about. 50 stole a design from sleeks manufacturer bradenton after a failed partnership. even if it was beats i see how you tried to blank out the fact that people do buy it by saying why buy it when it looks like beats lol the point is they sell and 50 makes money. sms makes him money, his movies make him money, his artists make him money, his vodka makes him money. he never signed bottles so they would sell either, he even gave away some free bottles you idiot. now stop making up lies to make yourself feel better. nothing you said makes him any less rich than forbes reported. you assumed he spent 150 mill since 2005 but where is it? anyone with common sense knows 50 is still worth a shit load of money and hes got it stashed away so he doesn’t need to pay this lawsuit, hes maybe not worth 150 mill but he is up there. hes always in the top 5 list of artists who make the most money each year. if 50 was only worth 5 mill he would not be able to keep all his businesses running smoothly and he does have a lot. music, movies, boxing, headphones and he just put g-unit back on and young buck has made a decent comeback. remember young buck was broke? look at him now. hes rich as fuck and obviously 50 is the one who gave him the money. buck alone is worth a few million. he went from bankrupt to rich again because of 50. also kidd kidd just got bailed out of jail by 50.
Just for the record my man Donnie Trump has never himself filed for bankruptcy but instead his companies have done so several times. Look it up you ignant fools.
If you think that’s your man, then you’re the fool.
Your no Dornie trump FOOL
50 cent is willing to suck cock for a cheese burger coz he’s broke
A bitch still can’t get a dollar outta 50 lmao!
We all know 50 isn’t broke. Let’s keep it he has more money than all of us on this forum put together. It is unfortunate Ms. Leviston had to go through this, but that’s the price you pay when you’re affiliated with a celebrity. Not to mention according to the street code you should never f*ck the friend or the enemy.
