Broke? Don't be like 50 Cent.

Yes, there is something objectively hilarious about a guy named 50 Cent not being that great with money.

And jokes about bankruptcy are pretty cheap. (Tip your waitstaff; I’m here all week!)

But this is too priceless not to write about: 50 Cent has landed himself in court because he’s been flashing big wads of cash all over Instagram.

That’s right, 50 Cent has been posing with a lot of money while telling the courts that he can’t pay his bills. And finally a judge has ordered him to explain himself: “I’m concerned about allegations of nondisclosure and a lack of transparency in the case,” Judge Ann Nevins said during a Thursday hearing.

In short, that means that if you tell the court that you can’t pay your bills, maybe don’t post images like this:

And this:

And don’t tell everyone that your new house in Africa is nearly built and you’re looking forward to your housewarming party.

I guess the biggest lesson in all of this is for Kanye West, who has been telling everyone that he is skint and upwards of $50M in debt. And then TMZ busted him drinking Champagne in a fancy jewelry store (To be fair, he could have been applying for a job. And been thirsty).

Pay attention, Kayne. Never do this:

Oh, 50 Cent…don’t go changing…
