50 Cent's attorney has recently claimed that he only flashes stacks of fake money because his fans are flat broke and they need to see him flossing like a mogul.

In a recent bankruptcy hearing, the 40-year-old rapper's team explained that this is a part of their media strategy, reports TMZ.com.

They added that 50 Cent has to keep up his image for the fans as the rap fans are poor and they want their idols to be rich and something to look up to.
