A jury decided on Friday that 50 Cent, who may or may not actually be as broke as he says he is, must pay an additional $2 million in punitive damages to Lastonia Leviston, the Associated Press reports.

Facing down a $5 million judgment for posting a sex tape of Rick Ross’s baby mama, 50 Cent has declared bankruptcy to prove he can’t pay. It’s somewhat convenient that, after Forbes named him one of the richest rappers in the world just a few months ago, 50 claims his reported $155 million fortune is really just $4.375 million. He said this week that he rented cars and borrowed jewelry to keep up appearances.

According to prolific Instagram troll 50 Cent, his 2-year-old son Sire recently landed a $700,000 modeling deal, a dollar amount roughly equivalent to 1.4 million his dads.

50 Cent just found another gear in his ongoing, transcendent Instagram trolling of his former BFF, boxing champ Floyd Mayweather. After offering to donate $750,000 to any charity if Mayweather could read a page of Harry Potter, 50 has upped the ante by arranging for him to do it on national television.

50 Cent used the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge to troll his former friend, boxer Floyd "Money" Mayweather, with a contest of a different nature. Fuck a bucket of ice and $100: 50 will donate $750,000 to any charity if Mayweather can read an entire page of a Harry Potter book.

50 Cent is better at acting than he is at throwing a baseball or sticking to a strict anti-masturbation regimen. Sort of.

Last night was Summer Jam, the sprawling rap concert hosted by New York radio station Hot 97. Over the years, the event has earned a reputation for sparking unexpected moments, but last night 50 Cent may have topped them all. While he was performing his set, 50 had a rival robbed onstage, all while he was still performing his hits.

Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson's skills include rapping, surviving gunshot wounds, never masturbating , and clowning on Solange and Jay Z . But, as we saw Tuesday night at the Mets-Pirates game, they don't extend to pitching. The announcers generously described 50's ceremonial first pitch as "a little outside."

The most disappointing thing about Beyoncé's sister losing it at Jay Z in an elevator is the lack of sound on the security tape, which makes it difficult to figure out what the fight was all about. Fortunately, it's 2014, so we have access to technology that can solve this problem: Namely, 50 Cent's Instagram account.

Most of the time when dads text their teens, it’s to send them cute messages like “Hi this is dad happy 4 the of july.” Sometimes it's an ominous "Call Me Back." Sometimes they send butt texts.

On Saturday, rapper 50 Cent swung by the QVC studios in West Chester, PA and quickly made several bubbly women of a certain age fall madly in love with him.

Do you want to stop masturbating? It is, after all, "a sin," as 50 Cent informs us. Luckily, he also has a four-step plan to help you stop, free of charge:

50 Cent was taken to a Queens hospital last night after a truck collided with his SUV on the Long Island Expressway. He is currently undergoing treatment for possible neck and back injuries.

Remember how a few years ago, 50 Cent accused Oprah Winfrey of being a white woman, just like one in her audience, after she had taken various stances against the facet of hip-hop culture that once made him such a musical force? Me neither, but she sure did and she confronted him on it long and hard in an interview that ran alongside her Paris Jackson sit-down on last night's Oprah's Next Chapter.

Since the day of Barack Obama's inauguration, pundits and purveyors of "horse race" political journalism have been asking with increasing fervor: who will disconcertingly baby-voiced rapper and Vitamin Water vendor and trusted political power broker 50 Cent endorse in 2012?

50 Cent has declared war on Fox News. Which of their journalistic transgressions drew his ire? "Hating on NBC for having chris brown on unbelievable...never watching that again. He paid for his mistake #!@%*# holes." Fight the power, 50. [Twitter]
