WATCH: Michelle Obama Weighs In On President's Past Drug Use
Keli Goff: Did Michelle Obama Make a Major Misstep with…
Mega rap mogul 50 Cent's gargantuan Connecticut mansion was broken in to on Tuesday morning, reports TMZ. Police arrested two alleged robbers, one of which was found in a drunken stupor chugging down some wine.
Investigators received a call from a security staff member at 50's mansion. The guard at the hip-hop phenom's home told police he spotted a suspicious vehicle in the driveway. When officers arrived at the Farmington, Connecticut, home that was once owned by boxing legend Mike Tyson, they began searching the premises for any suspects.
The patrolmen immediately found one of the intruders, but looking for the second one, Alexander Hernandez (pictured above in red shirt), took more time than anticipated. The alleged robber was hiding out in a closet drinking a bottle of wine that he had pilfered from the entertainer's home.
Police concluded that the thieves gained access to the home by entering an unlocked door. When arrested, the men also had a stash of marijuana in their possession.
The rapper-turned-actor, turned–successful businessman, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, purchased the expansive 50,000 square foot, 17-acre mansion back in 2003 for $4.1 million. He then spent an additional $6 million in renovations. The home has 19 bedrooms and 37 bathrooms. It boasts a gym, billiards rooms, racquetball courts and a disco with stripper poles.

Well, 50's tried very hard to stay in the news and this is the first time in the last couple of years that he legitimatey made it!
Maybe these characters who broke in his house will ultimately bring him relevance in the industry again.

HEY, I'M NOT 50'S GREATEST MUSIC FAN EITHER BUT I DON'T THINK ANYONE STAGES A BURGLARY OF THEIR HOME FOR MEDIA ATTENTION.....
BESIDES, THE MUSIC INDUSTRY CONSTANTLY HAS NEW PERFORMERS COMING IN, OTHERS SLOWING DOWN, AND OTHERS GOING OUT OR PLAYING DIFFERENT ROLES WITHIN THE INDUSTRY...
IF ONE CAN RAP, THEN PRODUCE, THEN PROMOTE, OR ACT, OR SING...THEY ARE DOING WELL...
YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER TOO THAT JUST ONE PROJECT CAN MAKE YOU RICH...
SO HATING ON 50 CENT BECAUSE HE ISN'T CURRENTLY AT THE TOP OF THE RAP CHARTS IS STUPID...
HE HAS BEEN WELL PAID ALREADY, HE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A TOP RAPPER TO SURVIVE, AT THIS POINT

This belong in the Daily SMH. 50 Cent is going the way of most ghetto people with money to the looney bin.

He's had this house for about 6yrs, try to catch up. And Mike Tyson's compensation for appearing in "The Hangover" is probably more than you'd make in 15years so I doubt he's broke.
