Those social media posts featuring stacks of cash are coming back to bite 50 Cent.

50 Cent is being called into bankruptcy court to explain flashing piles of money on social media when he says he's bankrupt.

A bankruptcy court judge has ordered the rapper to appear at a Wednesday hearing in Hartford, Conn., to explain his Instagram photos, one of which features the word "BROKE" spelled out in stacks of cash.

50 Cent, born Curtis Jackson III, entered a court filing Tuesday stipulating that he used prop money and is not hiding assets. He filed for bankruptcy protection last year following a New York jury verdict that awarded $7 million to a woman who said he'd published their sex tape.

The U.S. trustee’s office is asking Judge Ann Nevins to appoint an examiner to review the rapper’s assets.
