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.

61. Somehow I DO think that a black man driving a great ride attracted the cops attention more than say a middle aged white woman like me in my old buick.....
As for the numerous attacks on 50 (especially Cindy biatch #9) - he may be "ghetto" as you say (I don't know him) but at least he is who he is honestly....unlike the herpes infested spolied rich biatch Paris Hilton, who if she had not been born to money ,would be a street hooker walking 8 Mile. 50 took no resources and made something of himself, whether you like his music or not. Paris, born with all the resources and opportunity to impact the world in a positive manner that anyone could ask for, decided to be a porno slut to be famous. THATS GHETTO AS IT GETS

63. What's long and hard on a black man? Answer: Second grade!

64. That was the weakest reason to arrest someone I ever heard of. Of course these pigs are jealous of a black man being a millionaire so they busted him. Man, give a ***** a break!

65. Dear George:

you are misspelling 'there'. In the context in which you are using the word it should be spelt 'their' ...but I guess as the son of a state trooper you would not know that...good luck in the 2nd grade, georgie

67. People, you all need to realize that 50 Cent was driving a brand new, top-of-the-line Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster that he had recently custom finished in an ultra-expensive CHROME mirror-like paint job. The NYPD should have cited him instead for 'desecrating' such a fine automobile marque and for displaying a total lack of taste! As a former Lamborghini owner myself, I find it reprehensible that anyone would do such a thing, then again, he is just another wealthy criminal rapper, a sign of the times I guess.

69. Actually Kristine, a little irritated, but more embarrassed than anything else. I'd hate for any minority readers to assume that these comments represent the opinion of all white people.

71. 50 cent, how appropriate. That's what his life and values are worth evidently. All the money in the world can't buy him class or brains it seems. Apparently he learned nothing from jail, except how to blame society for his problems! He's a discredit to his race.

72. Um, karma, I hate spoil your self-righteousness, but "spelt" is a word. It is not the same word as "spelled", but it is, in fact, a part of the English language.

A typo doesn't change the truth of your message, white girl....

73. Carol - Kate Moss sniffs coke. Brad Renfro does heroin. Rob Lowe has sex with underage girls. Anyone calling them a disgrace to their race?

74. Karma reall is a *****. The word 'spelt' means 'to constitute the letters of a word'. Alternatively one can use the word 'spelled' instead of 'spelt' but both are valid verbs deriving from the noun 'spell'. Now what?

75. Ok does anybody see anything wrong with this...ARRESTED for improper lane change, expired insurance, expired license....what WOULD they have done if they found something on him...shot him......they used the excuse "because the crowd was getting unruly"...do they arrest ALL stars for mere traffic violations and say it's due to the crowd getting unruly or is it just BLACK STARS.....ok he has a not so great past...people do change that's what they call reform.......
