HARTFORD (Connecticut) — Rapper 50 Cent says in a Connecticut bankruptcy court filing he spends US$108,000 (S$148,878) a month on his expenses, including US$5,000 for gardening.

He has a monthly income of US$185,000, mainly from royalties and interest on his investments. But he is paying US$72,000 a month to maintain his suburban Hartford mansion.

He filed for bankruptcy last month after New York City jurors ordered him to pay US$7 million to a woman who said he posted online a crudely narrated sex tape she made with a boyfriend.

Yesterday’s (Aug 3) court filing says he also owes money to his stylist, his barber and his fitness coach.

The rapper was born Curtis Jackson III. His album Get Rich or Die Tryin’ helped make him one of the world’s best-selling artists. He is due back in bankruptcy court tomorrow. AP
