In 2014, 50 Cent was at the peak of his career. Having landed a $78 million underwear campaign, the rapper proved that he could thrive in any industry – and make it big! Four years later, however, the forgotten star is broke and nowhere to be seen!<br /><br />In REELZ’s new episode, Broke & Famous: 50 Cent, reporters look to expose the true reason why the former music icon lost his riches, and the Hollywood feud that led him to bankruptcy.<br /><br />“At this point he’s making just beyond what he was making in the music game, [which] proves that he has a keen sense of business, he’s a savvy businessman,” says Us Weekly’s Marisa Sullivan in the clip.<br /><br />That same year, 50 Cent, 42, was named one of Fords’ top five richest stars of hip-hop – with his net worth being over $140 million.<br /><br />The not-so-humble rapper even bragged to fans and followers about his wealth, writing on Instagram: “I just did a deal for $78 million of underwear, what did y’all mother f***ers do today? Lol lol #boom.”<br /><br />It seemed like nothing could stop him – until just two years later, he filed for bankruptcy, citing debts of $36 million.<br /><br />Broke & Famous: 50 Cent airs Saturday, Jan 6, at 9 ET/PT on REELZ.
