Despite filing for bankruptcy this summer, 50 Cent wants you to know he is not broke.

The rapper had a little fun with his 6.5 million Instagram followers on Wednesday morning, posting two photos and one video of himself covered in $100 bills.

"I hustle so hard, I can't see me legs," the rapper captioned this first tongue-in-cheek video:

50 Cent was previously one of the world's wealthiest rappers, largely thanks to his minority stake in Vitamin Water. In 2007, the Coca-Cola Company acquired Vitamin Water from Glacéau for $4.1 billion.

According to The Washington Post at the time, "50 Cent was thought to have walked away with a figure somewhere between $60 million and $100 million, putting his net worth at nearly a half billion dollars."

While the rapper no longer has an equity stake in the company, he continued to act as a spokesman for Vitamin Water, and currently promotes Effen Vodka all over his social media accounts.

In May, Forbes estimated 50 Cent's net worth at $155 million, ranking him No. 4 on the list of the wealthiest hip-hop artists.
