50 Cent has apparently told porkies about being bankrupt, and now a jury decided on Friday that he must pay an additional $2 million (£1.3 million) to Rick Ross' baby mama, who featured in a sex tape he posted online. What a kerfuffle, eh?

Two weeks ago a lawyer for Lastonia Leviston ordered jurors to award her $15 million (£9.6 million), but the jury decided Fiddy should instead pay her $5 million (£3.2 million).

After the verdict, Fiddy - real name Curtis Jackson - filed for bankruptcy protection in Conneticut, but the jury weren't buying it and reportedly ordered the initial amount plus additional damages to be awarded to Leviston.

Fiddy's lawyer James Renard requested for his client to instead pay $700,000 (£450,000).

According to the jury foreman, the amount Leviston was awarded was the result of a 'compromise', reported the New York Daily News.

Juror Sylvia Rodriguez told the newspaper: "He has it [the money]. He's 50 Cent. You know he has more than 50 cents, I don't think he's broke. If anything he has it hidden."

A fortnight ago, Fiddy appeared to be coping with bankrupcy really well, when he posted a picture of himself standing next to a rented Smart car - far from the Aston Martin/Lamborghini cry he's used to.

The rapper appeared in court on Tuesday wearing a plastic watch (that's not going to help Fids).

Aafter being ordered to pay out the initial $5 million and being court-ordered to complete an online debt course, he told the court how he wasn’t worth nearly as much as he originally liked to let on, and that in reality he just owns “three cars and a few chains”.

Another rented chain, watch and pinky ring, eh Fiddy?

Fiddy also told the court that the Lamborghinis, Bentleys and Rolls-Royces that featured in his music videos were rented, and the jewellery merely a loan. Oh Fiddy, you must be joking... right?

Even though a recent appraisal estimated the 21 Questions rapper is worth at least $150 million (£96 million), Jackson claimed he is $28 million (£18 million) in debt and even owes nearly $2,000 (£1,200) to his own grandfather.

While all the relevant people were in court on Friday to discuss the new information, Fiddy appeared on US TV breakfast show, Good Morning America. Smoothe.
