Bankrupt 50 Cent jets to London on a first class flight... as it emerges he 'owes his grandfather over $1,700' as well as a further $28m in outstanding debts
Clad in comfortable grey track pants and a matching hooded sweater, he walked seemingly alone into the airport to take the first class flight to London, where he is set to perform at a concert with his hip-hop co-stars G-Unit at the O2 Arena on Friday.
His scheduled appearance in the British capital - which had long been planned before his bankruptcy came to light - is to take place just one day after further details of his financial troubles emerged.
As well as the other millions of dollars he owes, it has been reported the rapper even needs to pay back a substantial amount of money to a member of his own family - his grandfather.
In documents obtained by TMZ, it was revealed that the music star owes his grandfather $1,737.33.
The In Da Club hitmaker filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy on Monday, listing his assets and liabilities at between $10million and $50million to a federal bankruptcy court.
The bankruptcy filing, which would protect 50 Cent from paying creditors, came days after a jury ordered him to pay $5 million to a woman who appeared in a sex tape that went online in 2009.

And he commented about his financial situation during an appearance on Conan O'Brien's chat show on Wednesday.
The rapper was asked about the chapter 11 filing and he replied: 'Yeah, I need protection.'
Fiddy went on to explain the price of fame and the mark that fortune leaves on a person for others to take aim towards.

sex tape in which she was featured
50 Cent explained: 'You get a bullseye painted on your back when you're successful, and it's public to know you've become the ideal person to have lawsuits for.'
In the aforementioned sex tape, 50 Cent poses as his alter ego Pimpin' Curly, sporting a wig and speaking in an artificially high voice, as he narrates the Florida woman's sexual encounter and mocks fellow rapper Rick Ross, who has a child with her.
That was not the only controversial topic the Candy Shop rapper touched on as he discussed poking fun at fellow rapper and mogul P Diddy after he allegedly got into a fight with his son's football coach.
Shortly after the reports of the incident between the 45-year-old rapper - real name Sean Combs - and the UCLA coach happened, 50 was quick to post videos and memes shedding light on the situation.

50 explained: 'I poked fun at it because it didn't seem like a real serious thing.
'It starts bad in the news and kind of makes its way to something positive and no one reports it when it starts to become positive.
'And as it started to, you know, work its way out, I felt better about poking fun of it.'
Not keeping him down! Just hours after the filing 50 Cent made an appearance at an ESPN screening of
his new film Southpaw in Los Angeles alongside Jake Gyllenhaal and Miguel Gomez
Regardless of how serious his financial and legal issues are 50 seems to have a good sense of humour about it as he posted a photo of himself posing with a Smart Car on Instagram Tuesday.
He claimed that his Southpaw co-star Jake Gyllenhaal
snapped the photo which he captioned: 'Times are hard out here LMAO'.
