50 Cent made headlines when he filed for bankruptcy just days ago, after being ordered to pay $5million over the release of a sex tape.
However, it seems his financial situation hasn't stopped him from living the lavish lifestyle to which he has become accustomed, as he was spotted preparing to get on a flight in the first class section on Thursday.
The 40-year-old rapper - real name Curtis Jackson - cut a rather relaxed figure as he arrived at JFK airport in New York to board an international flight.

His scheduled appearance in the British capital - which had long been planned before his bankruptcy came to light - is to take place just one day after further details of his financial troubles emerged.
