It seems 50 Cent is planning on moving overseas.
The
40-year-old, who is embroiled in bankruptcy proceedings in the States,
revealed on Saturday that he was building a new house somewhere in
Africa.
'My crib is almost finished in AFRICA,' he wrote on Instagram, with a video showing the home's exterior.
'I'm gonna have the craziest House warming party ever. I'll explain later. I got a good life Man.'
On the move: 50 Cent posted a video on Friday showing his new house somewhere in Africa
The
new home comes as 50 Cent struggles to unload a multi-million dollar
estate in Connecticut while countering $24million in lawsuits with a
bankruptcy filing.
In the video, a two-story, brown and white home is visible, surrounded by tropical trees.
As
workers sweep floors and apparently engage in various construction
tasks, the footage pans across a moss-green swimming pool and expansive
paved area.
50 Cent did not reveal where in Africa this house was, nor did he say how he had paid for its construction.
The
rapper's stateside home in Farmington, Connecticut - an $8.5 million
mansion once owned by boxer Mike Tyson - is not faring so well, with 50
Cent reportedly trying to sell or lease it.
In the meantime, TMZ reported that the rapper had asked the court's permission to pay $72,000 in monthly expenses to keep up the lavish property.
Luxurious space: In addition to the two-story house, a green-hued pool is visible in the video footage
In progress: Several workers seem to be completing finishing touches on the property
Vague terms: While 50 Cent promised to
throw 'the craziest House warming party ever,' he did not give any
specifics about where his new home is located
Those costs include a mortgage, gardening, electricity, trash removal, Internet, cable, water, and phone service.
Thanks
to hit records and a string of savvy business decisions, 50 Cent has
long been listed as one of the wealthiest rappers in the industry.
He
has had investments and endorsement deals with Vitaminwater, Coca-Cola,
Reebok, Right Guard, and - most recently - Effen Vodka.
Moving out: 50 Cent's stateside home, an $8.5 million mansion in Connecticut is available for sale or lease
Expensive: The day before showing off
his African house, 50 Cent petitioned the court for permission to pay
$72,000 in monthly expenses for the Farmington, Connecticut property
Financial downturn: Once listed as one
of the wealthiest rappers, 50 Cent filed for bankruptcy in July after
two lawsuits resulted in damages of $24 million
Despite this, 50 Cent filed for bankruptcy this summer after a pair of legal judgments against him.
In
July, the rapper - real name Curtis Jackson III - was ordered to pay $7
million to Lastonia Leviston for a sex tape posted online without her
consent.
Court documents assert that 50 Cent bought the video from Lastonia's sex partner and added derogatory voiceover narration.
