Lawyers for rapper 50 Cent have reached deals with creditors who hold more than 95 percent of the hip-hop mogul's debts, the Hartford Courant reported today. Bankruptcy Judge Ann Nevins scheduled yesterday’s hearing to hear what 50 Cent had to say about a variety of photos posted on social media — including one that showed him lying amid bundles of cash and another with the bundles arranged to spell "BROKE." The largest of 50 Cent's creditors raised questions about the photos in a court filing and questioned whether the entertainer, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, was reporting all of his income. Shortly after the judge ordered Jackson to court, Jackson's lawyers got together with the creditors' lawyers to assure them that the cash in the photos was fake and that Jackson was reporting all income and expenses as required by the bankruptcy court. Those talks have been ongoing over the past three weeks and have yielded an agreement that, if approved by Nevins, would have all secured creditors paid in full and have unsecured creditors paid between 74 and 92 percent of what they are owed over five years.
