Embattled US rapper, 50 CENT has appeared before the Manhattan Supreme Court over a sex tape he allegedly posted online.

The rapper was slapped with a five million dollar verdict last week over the sex tap starring an ex-girlfriend of his rival RICK ROSS.

The rapper, whose real name of CURTIS JACKSON, had filed for bankruptcy before appearing in the court in New York to testify that he is not as wealthy as his flashy lifestyle suggest.

JACKSON's lawyer said in court that his client is worth four point four million dollars, contrary to his valuation by Forbes at around one hundred and fifty-five million dollars in May.

He explained in court that while his social-media accounts may be filled with flashy photos, but he usually takes the jewelry and the cars back to the stores.
