https://www.vladtv.com – Dr. Boyce Watkins added to his previous statements about 50 Cent’s recent bankruptcy hearing during an exclusive video for VladTV, and this time the famed social commentator said that all rappers need to stop lying about their finances. This comes after the Queens rapper revealed that he’s worth $4.4 million, not the $155 million reported by Forbes.

Dr. Watkins explained that it puts a strain on others who see the opulent lifestyle that rappers are portraying online, when in reality they are not as rich as it may seem.

“Rappers need to stop lying. Just stop pretending. Stop pretending that you’re living a life that you cannot afford! It’s stressful on you, and it’s stressful on the people that are watching you. Because when I see you living a certain lifestyle I’m going to think that I must not be doing that well, that I’m a failure.”

Dr. Watkins also questioned 50 Cent’s claims that he only made $150,000 off of two seasons of his hit show “Power,” which you can hear more about in the above clip.
