A Connecticut bankruptcy judge got serious about 50 Cent's funny money on Wednesday, the New York Daily News reported yesterday. The rapper insists the posts are jokes, and the money in them is prop cash. But the judge was far from amused with his last “prop” — posting a photo of himself in the federal courthouse with wads of bills in his waistband. “That’s not funny,” Judge Ann Nevins told the “Power” star, whose real name is Curtis Jackson. "While you're in this courthouse, there is nothing funny going on. This is very serious stuff. I would appreciate it very much if we could keep it that way,” she said in a firm but friendly voice. The judge indicated that she wouldn’t order him to stop with the posts, which have already led him to be visited by U.S. Treasury agents who questioned whether the cash was counterfeit. “I’m not telling anybody how they can exercise their rights to free speech, but I want to keep things very serious here,” Nevins said. The judge is still weighing a request by the U.S. Bankruptcy Trustee for Connecticut to take a closer look at Fitty’s finances in the wake of the postings.
