As 50 Cent continues the promo for his upcoming film, Southpaw, he sat down with Conan O'Brien to talk about his recent filing for bankruptcy, and explained the motives behind the move. Much like everyone already assumed, 50 confirmed that he filed for chapter 11 more as a way to protect himself from lawsuits, such as the one he just lost where he was ordered by a judge to pay $5 million to the mother Rick Ross' child for leaking her sex tape back in 2009.
While talking with Conan, 50 also revealed that it was Jake Gylenhall who took the hilarious picture of him in front of the smart car earlier this week, which 50 posted on Instagram with the caption, "Times are hard out here LMAO." Check out the full clip above.
