I almost didn't want to post this, given what happened in a previous post.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/...cent-says-flashy-lifestyle-illusion/30503943/

Questioned by an attorney for the woman, Lastonia Leviston, the musician-actor denied owning many luxury items — including expensive cars and flashy jewelry — saying he rents, borrows and leases instead.

"It's a borrowed piece of jewelry from the jeweler," he told Leviston's lawyer, Philip Freidin, when asked about a photo of a 65-karat ring he posted on his Instagram account.

There's other articles out there, but in short he said he returns a lot of the items he shows on his twitter account and "it's all for show".
