Rapper 50 Cent feels thinks he is being targeted by the system because he has money.
The 40-year-old record producer, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, slammed the "system" after he was called to court to explain photos posted online, which appeared to show him with a lot of money, even after filing a Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection last year, reported Female First.
"The system is so messed up, the law applies differently to people based on the personal perception of them. It's amazing how bad it is it's sad. #EFFENVODKA #FRIGO #thisimageiscourtapporved ...
"When you make money you become a target. Not only by people who feel there competitors, but by system it self. The lawyers take someone's case to go after your hard earned money pro bono. #EFFENVODKA #FRIGO #thisimageiscourtapporved (sic)," the "In Da Club" hitmaker posted on Instagram.
50 Cent earlier told a court that the money in his social media photographs is fake and just a promotional prop.
