50 Cent Officially Banned From Using Cellphone Inside the Courtroom

50 Cent's legacy, at this point in his career, can be summed up largely by two things: pranks and legal troubles. Now it appears both vices (if you consider them as such) have come back to hurt the famous New York rapper/businessman. It appears that the judge presiding over 50's bankruptcy case in Connecticut has banned all cellular devices from his courtroom during these proceedings.

This decision seems to stem from the Queens rapper's behavior in court. On April 6th, 50 Cent, born Curtis James Jackson III, entered the court with his smartphone. The rapper then proceeded to take a picture of his lawyer whose pants had fallen down during the trial.

The rapper posted the picture online with the caption, "So I go to court today and one of my lawyers walks in and his pants falls to his ankles. I said f*ck this I want out, this sh*t ain't gonna go right."

This stunt comes after a series of boastful Instagram posts that seem to contradict 50's claims of bankruptcy. The rapper frequently posted pictures of himself surrounded by massive stacks of cash in an apparent attempt to quell criticisms about his financial standings.

Although 50 has claimed that these photos are fake, and the money portrayed is not legal currency, many are wondering if his claims of bankruptcy actually hold true. In late February, documents purported to show that 50 Cent, in fact, has $64 million in assets and property, while last year, Forbes documented the rapper's wealth at a whopping $155 million. It is likely in 50's best interest to make a better attempt to illustrate his financial woes to the court.
