50 Cent I'm Actually Rich ... I Just Get Sued a Lot!
50 Cent has just told the bankruptcy judge he's both rich and poor at the very same time.
50 filed legal docs saying he has a massive amount of money and other assets, but not enough to immediately cover more than $20 million in court judgments. Translation ... he's cash poor.
The documents are almost like a documentary, chronicling 50's early life in abject poverty in Queens, where his mom was murdered when he was just 8. He was also famously shot 9 times. His lawyer goes on, "In many respects, Mr. Jackson typifies the American dream."
The question ... what does this have to do with bankruptcy. The answer ... this is a PR move on 50's part to make it clear to his fans he's not a failure.

Tragedy averted as two FirstNation planes collide at MMA
Tragedy
was averted on Friday at the Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal 2 in
Lagos following a ground collision of two planes belonging to
FirstNation Airways.
The News Agency of Nigeria
reports that a similar incident had occurred at the airport on July 6,
following the collision of two planes belonging to Emirates and Hak Air.
NAN gathered that Friday’s incident, which happened at about mid-day, involved two Airbuses 330 conveying about 250 passengers.
The two planes had their bodies partially damaged as a result of the collision.
A source at
the airport told NAN that one of the planes was taxiing from the runway
to MMA2 to disengage passengers, while the other aircraft was preparing
to take off to Port-Harcourt Airport from the same terminal.
The source alleged that the pilot may have been misdirected by the marshals to taxi to the wrong part of the apron.
According to
the source, the Port-Harcourt bound aircraft was parked at Gate 4 while
the arriving aircraft was bound for the Gate 3 of the terminal.
However, the
source claimed that the marshals misdirected the arriving aircraft to
the same gate as the parked aircraft which led to their wings brushing
each other.
Following
the incident, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority immediately
grounded both aircraft while passengers were asked to disembark by the
airline.
NAN further gathered that the refunds of tickets were made to passengers on the Port-Harcourt bound aircraft by the airline.

Egypt invests $8.4bn, plans one million jobs
Egypt
said it has invested $8.4 billion on the Suez Canal project as part of
measures to double the cargo traffic on the waterway, expand its economy
to benefit small scale businesses, and create one million jobs.
The North
African country said the project would kick-start its economic recovery
which suffered a slow down from the 2011 political crisis.
The Press
and Information Officer, Egyptian embassy in Nigeria, Ahmed Maher,
stated that the construction of the New Suez Canal, scheduled to be
commissioned in Cairo in August, 2015, would help Egypt to rebound and
rebuild its economy.
Maher, in
an interview on Thursday in Abuja, noted that about 41,000 people have
been engaged in the construction of the canal, which began 10 months
ago.
According
to him, the new canal would double the economic contribution that the
old canal is bringing in, especially with the additional six tunnels for
cars and rails.
He said,
“New Suez Canal is the name of a waterway project in Egypt, expanding
the existing Suez Canal between the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea.
“It was
launched simultaneously with plans to build six new tunnels under the
canal and to transform a 76,000 km area on both banks of the canal into
an international logistics, commercial and industrial hub that would
create one million jobs.”
The
embassy spokesman described the new Suez Canal as the shortest shipping
route between Europe and Asia and an alternative to Cape of Good Hope
route, noting that the enlarged canal would allow ships to sail in both
directions at the same time over much of the canal’s length.
