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.
50 Cent arrested
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.

48. definition of 'ghetto' per Macquarie Dictionary:

'a quarter in a city in which any minority group lives. [It. (Venetian), b. Heb. ghet seperation and It. ge(t)to foundry (from getar cast, from L jacere throw), as name of Jewish quarter in Venice in the 16th cent.]'

so anyway, please learn the definition of words that you white folks so carelessly and freely throw around at every opportunity

49. Please, let's not equate 50 to the great Miss Paris Hilton. That's like mixing apples with oranges. Miss Hilton has the utmost class and dignity, bar none. It becomes quite clear that she will be commented on, regardless of the story by TMZ. That only furthers the worldwide amazement & unquestionable notoriety of Paris, in which she is well deserving of. How can anyone stop commenting on a living legend. I want to thank all the Paris lovers and continue the good work. My love to you Paris, Simon.

50. Wow. The internet has done so much for us - including allowing us to read comments like this that show very well why we still "play the race card" - because so many of you fucking morons are still just as racist as your grandparents. Give an asshole anonymity, and he will paint the picture in his true colors. You should be ashamed of yourselves - that shit isn't cute or funny. Gangsta rap represents less than 1% of Black culture, and here you all are calling people "monkeys". Grow up, get a grip, and get over that little black boy or girl who smacked you around back in elementary.

57. First of all, #21--It doesn't have to be that way at all. I work in westchester County, A Yonkers cop pulled me over with the same bullshit stop--unsafe lane change my ass, I never even moved out of my lane. All these cops do when they are bored is look for someone to harass, and usually it's us black folk. I am not a hip-hop chick, nor some rapper wannabe, I ma a single black female and was on my way to an appointment. He just needed someone to help him fill his fucking quota.

Secondly, #31--You racist sonofabitch, go back to where you originally came from, down in the backwoods with Unclepa and AuntieMa.

58. I think it's very funny, people defending 50. The man broke the LAW, HELLO PEOPLE! Driving without insurance is a automatic 6 month driving privilege suspension. It's one thing when a person cannot afford the insurance, and drives to and from a real job, trying to make ends meet. No excuse for 50 at ALL! I think all the ignorant defenders of 50 need to check and see that there paperwork is in order. Obviously, there brains are NOT!

59. Are they F-ing serious...I guess when you not a dumb ass drunk blond you cant get off with a ticket..If you dont think racism doesn't exist....Here is a perfect example of it. Paris Hilton just got away with a DUI..no ticket no nothing..
Be fair to ALL PEOPLE!!!
