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.

77. Sheryl sure they are a disgrace! But 50 isn't exactly an angel. He switched lanes illegaly and got caught. And because he is famouse the cops already knew he had a criminal record. If his license wasn't expired or the car was registered or had insurance they would of probably let the lane change go, but that was too many things against him at once. he's lucky they didn't search for drugs, he's very open about using them. besides how often do people bash 50 on here. Poor Britney spears, making fun of her child, and her weight on here nonstop everyday. Jeeze! And ya Paris got caught for driving drunk, but lets be honest, how many people here drive after one drink? I do. Im sure her body, as tiny as it is, can handle more than one drink.

80. this is the thing Kristine: you are right people do bash Britney Spears and Paris Hilton etc etc all day every day. But what they don't do is turn it into a race thing. They say 'Britney is fat and ugly and irresponsible' - if she was black, the Toms' and Georges' of teh world would turn it into that no good black so and so. Do you get it?

81. Simon are you smoking crack or better yet were you at the same charity function as Paris....Paris has class and diginity? Since when did putting out a porn film, dancing on top of tables in clubs, calling people "nig*(%" and making out with your current boyfriend (too many to list) in public considered having diginity or having class....Stop trying to brown nose, she won't give you the time of day unless your net worth is at least 1 bill.......

84. FYI "white girl" it was actually paid for in full when I first purchased it (are you somehow trying to insinuate that I would have painted mine in a chrome finish?).

85. Say what ever you want , but the reality is this. I go out driving without my drivers lisense, my car is not insured, my car is not registered, AND I GET PULLED OVER FOR AN ILLEGAL LANE CHANGE. Then by law they can arrest me and take me jail. Maybe if I just did one of those infractions , i might slide. THe last I heard , if you drive without Insurance or lisense THEY CAN TAKE YOUR CAR.

Otherwise. BLACK, WHITE, ASIAN, MIDDLE EASTERN, LATINO'S etc. etc. etc. I don't care if you are yellow with green dots, you are going to be arrested.

90. 50's brains are brand new, as in, never been used. One can only defend stupid behavior by exposing themselves as such. Post not, for you will be discovered.
