A judge sided with 50 and dismissed all claims against him. He then awarded him his legal fees. The rapper has struggled to collect the money for years.

The court has hit her with nearly $20k in additional sanctions/fines for failing to participate in the proceedings.

His lawyers accused Mari of failing to provide her bank statements or answer questions about her sources of income. At one point, she claimed she was unable to attend a hearing because she lived in Georgia.

Prior to the examination, the rapper's team said Mari had "been the subject of repeated sanctions by this Court but has been seemingly unswayed by such actions and has not paid any money towards the Judgment or sanctions against her, making the increased penalties associated with a finding of contempt necessary.”

50 is set to use the information he gained during the exam to collect the money he's owed.
