50 Cent posed next to a smartcar to poke fun at his Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing protection announcement Monday. The Queens, N.Y., rapper posted the photo to Instagram with a clever caption: "Times are hard out here LMAO #EFFENVODKA #FRIGO #SMSAUDIO."

After reporting his creditors to U.S. Bankruptcy Court Thursday, the MC named Curtis Jackson owes more than $28,478,920.75 including $18.4 million to Sleek Audio, according to previous HNGN coverage. The celebrity's assets and liabilities hung between $10 million and $50 million when he came forth with his reported financial situation earlier this week.

The business mogul's finances should soon increase, though, thanks to July 24th's opening of "Southpaw," in which he stars alongside Rachel McAdams, Jake Gyllenhaal, Forest Whitaker, Naomie Harris and Rita Ora, among others, according to imdb.com. Antoine Fuqua directed the action, drama and sports movie.
