Judge Orders 50 Cent To Explain Instagram Cash Pics

Hate it or love it, 50 Cent is going to have to explain all those Benjamins.

A judge has ordered the supposedly cash-strapped rapper to bankruptcy court to justify his many Instagram photos flaunting fat stacks of dough, CNN Money reported Friday.

“I’m concerned about allegations of nondisclosure and a lack of transparency in the case,” Judge Ann Nevins said during a Thursday hearing in Hartford, Conn.

“There’s a purpose of having a bankruptcy process be transparent, and part of that purpose is to inspire confidence in the process,” she continued. “When that process becomes very public, the need for transparency, I believe, is even higher.”

Bankruptcy status allows an “honest but unfortunate debtor” to wipe the slate clean, Nevins added.

The “In Da Club” rapper, who filed for bankruptcy last July amid a sex-tape lawsuit, has posted multiple money shots in recent months — including photos of cold, hard cash stashed in a fridge and strewn across his bed.

In case anyone still doubted his financial woes, the rapper also posted a photo of the word “BROKE” spelled out in 100 dollar bills and boasted that his “crib” in Africa was almost ready to be christened with a housewarming party.

The ironic snaps came back to bite Fiddy after his rap rival Rick Ross' ex-girlfriend Lastonia Leviston, headphone company Sleek Audio and SunTrust Bank — who claim the rapper collectively owes them $29 million — pointed out the discrepancy in January court papers.

Fiddy’s lawyers insisted in a statement Friday that he’d been “forthcoming and transparent with all creditors,” and said the musician would appear in court to address the judge’s questions.
