Rapper 50 Cent pays $22m to end bankruptcy

Rapper 50 Cent has been discharged from bankruptcy early by a US federal judge after paying more than $22m. In July, the judge had approved a plan calling for the singer, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, to pay back about $23m over five years. It comes 19 months after the singer filed for bankruptcy protection due to debts of $36m and assets of less than $20m - three days after he was ordered to pay $5m to a woman whose sex tape he posted online.
