Previously, Jackson was ordered to pay $5 million in damages in the case. Days later, Jackson filed for bankruptcy.
In the court room on Friday, the lawyer for Leviston urged the Manhattan Supreme Court jury on the case to order Jackson to pay Leviston $15 million in punitive damages. Jackson's attorney had asked them to order he pay $700,000, according to the New York Daily News.
The jury has now reportedly settled on $2 million.
"The jury saw through the lies and punished Mr. Jackson," Leviston's attorney Hunter Shkolnik told The Wrap. "We are so happy for Lastonia, she deserves this."
On Tuesday, Jackson appeared in court and testified that the appearance that he's wealthy is all for show as he "takes the jewelry and the cars back to the stores."
However, he did admit that he recently visited a Florida strip club, where he was seen throwing around cash. And he bought a Rolls Royce, but the rapper said he had to trade in two other cars to get it, according to the New York Daily News.
"His true financial condition has been exposed as a result of this trial," said Jackson's attorney, James Renard, reports NYDN.
Business Insider has reached out to Jackson's representatives and will update this story accordingly.
