50 Cent Busted in Silver Lamborghini

TMZ has confirmed that rapper 50 Cent (aka Curtis Jackson) was arrested around 2:00PM this afternoon in Manhattan. Law enforcement officials in an unmarked car pulled over the star's silver Lamborghini at the corner of 8th Ave. and 35th Ave. in Midtown New York after they say he made an unsafe lane change.

Police tell TMZ they removed Fiddy from his car and cuffed him in front of several witnesses. Because of the crowd that began gathering around the scene, cops determined it to be an unsafe situation so they took him to a police station down the street from the scene. The car was not towed as police tell TMZ there was no reason to impound the car.

Police issued 50 four summons: one for an unsafe lane change, one because his driver's license had expired, one because his Lambo is unregistered with the state and another because the car is also uninsured. He was issued the tickets and released.

The gangsta rapper has a long and storied history with police, starting from when he was busted in a high school gym class in 1994 for hiding crack vials in his sneakers. He was then nailed again that year for felony drug charges; with these busts occurring only three weeks apart.

In 2002, the rapper found trouble again when he and members of his entourage were arrested after New York police allegedly found two loaded guns in the rapper's SUV. All five occupants of the vehicle were charged with two counts of criminal possession of a weapon.

Of course, Fiddy is perhaps most known for surviving a brutal attack in 2000, where he was shot nine times in front of his grandparent's house in Queens, NY.

Calls to 50's reps were not immediately returned.

406. I can't believe the stuff I'm reading in here..#365 USA why don't you move to North Korea and let the moral and safe government starve you if you don't follow their system oh I hope your full blooded Korean, if not good luck...Shoot all the black people...hmmm...who would you hate then?...or better yet let's shoot and kill everyone that's not like you, who would you hate then?...Also, yes the cops have the right to pull over anyone that makes an improper lane change, however, the point is cops will use these laws to racial profile and if anyone in here doesn't believe this goes on then go to North Korea with #365 and let's see how your life turns out there....

407. That's just wrong. Doesn't NY's finest have anything better to do or has real crime been wiped out in that city?
Those cops are just jealous because they can't afford a Lambo. Haters!!!!

411. It is about time that the issue of the slimeball fitty's traffic violations be put aside and the real problem addressed. That would be how to put this dirtbag in a cage where he belongs, never to be released. Black America, and much of the progress they have made, has been set back at least a generation by these gangsta slices of human feces and the negative effect they have had on inner city youth. Turn on the news in any large city in America and simply observe. One cornrowed, tatted up, do ragged, fake bling, baggy pants sideways hat wearing doofus doing one violent crime after another. Why do you think that civilized America has fled the cities faster than, you'll forgive the reference, a speeding 9mm shell fired from a gun also held sideways. Stop supporting these animals, stop buying their stuff, stop writing about them and perhaps they will go away.

412. Man, this is some really stupid shit. Why are 7 undercover cops following one dumb rapper. I don't know, but the folks trying to get crack dealers and child molesters out of their hoods woud possibly want to see these stupid ass cops doing some real work.

Fuc% 18 cents, this is about a bad use of resoruces. Everyone should be angered by this dumb shit.

414. Ellis, if I stop responding to your rhetoric will you go away?

415. White Girl ( who I am now convinced is a gold toothed hootchie-mama from the bowels of the inner city) I had hoped to help you rise above yourself, but that goal seems to be unreachable. Why anyone, who claims to be educated, would attach themselves to the genre that is rap/hip-hop is beyond comprehension.The thought of one of these animals putting their hands (or God forbid, other parts) on or, perish the thought, in her is beyond nauseating. The only creature even close to the slimeball Fiddy is perhaps Mike Tyson. I'm sure you're attracted to him also. Your family must be so proud. I am off to Atlantic City for the day and yes, my work here is nearly finished. There are things I can fix and things that are beyond repair. I just had a vision of you in your Lexus ( more likely a 75 Dodge Dart) blasting some Fiddy on your I-pod and am in danger of loosing my breakfast. Holla, bulee dat.

416. Ellis, I hope that you're not going to Atlantic City for the gambling...that's such a destructive hobby that has destroyed countless lives and families...grown men cashing out their pensions hoping to hit the jackpot, while their children go without food and school supplies. How can you support such an evil machine, even just by putting a quarter in a slot machine. Please Ellis, reconsider, turn that car around and head home. Your family misses you.

417. Shot out to Fifty you don't need insurance you got money homie. The probaly was watching you when you got in the car.

418. White Girl, no need to worry, I am not a gambler. I do agree with you that it is a desructive path to take, although I do not consider a few dollars spent in the slots for amusement as a serious issue. Certainly many more sleezeball rappas/hippity hoppas have died violently (not enough in my opinion) than have gamblers. I am visiting a friend in the Atlantic City suburb of Margate N.J. and thought of you as I turned on the local news from Philadelphia. What happened in Philadelphia today you ask darling white girl, just the usual opening stories involving humanoids shooting and stabbing each other. None of these violent acts were committed by Danes, Swedes, or Finns, but by creatures more closely resembling your hero, the ghetto thug Fitty Cen. The sun is coming out and seeing that the ocean temperature is a reasonable 72 degrees I will head to the beach for a quick dip before returning home. I'll make a few musical suggestions for you to try in a final attempt to have a positive effect on you. You must realize, of course, that you stand no chance with me unless you give up that garbage you listen to. Try listening to some James Taylor, Fleetwood Mac, Bob Dylan, Sheryl Crowe, Neil Young for starters. I will be home later if you'd like to flirt.

419. Diddy doesn`t run the city... i live in Romania but i know that... 50 runs the city... free 50

420. Ellis dear, if this is your idea of flirting, you really need to get out more.

Anyhoo, back to the big issues: You compare Curtis Jackson to murderers and rapists and all things subhuman. The only reason that you or I, along with millions of others even know who he is is as a result of his music sales. The reason that he is able to afford a lamborghini is because he has become a tremendous success on the rap scene. So to hate him for what he represents or deem him human 'faeces' and an animal is really like saying 'Jessica Simpson and Sheryl Crow are human faeces because they have made a lot of money selling music' Apart from admitted crack dealing as a youth for which he was punished, there is no other criminal activity of which I am aware that he has partaken in.

Hope the water wasn't too cold for you Ellis.
