Despite declaring himself bankrupt three days after he was ordered to pay Lavonia Leviston $5 million,50 Cent has been ordered to pay another $2 million in punitive damages to the mother of Rick Ross' baby.
A jury determined the rapper had intentionally acquired an X-rated video she made with her boyfriend, added himself as a crude commentator and posted it online without her permission to embarrass his rap rival Rick Ross, who fathered a child with the woman.
In a fresh blow today, the 40-year-old star has been told he needs to pay a further sum. Levonia was originally seeking $15million in damages.
50 Cent's lawyer later released a statement saying he plans to fight the judgement and hopes to “reduce the size of the award”, reports TMZ.
Earlier this week the star told a jury he was worth less than $5million, saying he exaggerates his jet set lifestyle and actually owns just 'three cars and a few chains.The rapper was recently estimated to be worth $150million, but he now claims he's $28million in debt.
