Fiddy's Bad Driving Rap
Forget da club--50 Cent might soon be in da traffic court.
The rapper (real name: Curtis Jackson) was pulled over in New York Friday and cited for making an unsafe lane change, as well as driving without his license, vehicle insurance and registration.
At the time he was stopped, Fiddy was behind the wheel of a silver Lamborghini--not exactly the most inconspicuous car to be driving when committing any of the aforementioned infractions.
A police spokesperson said an officer in an unmarked patrol car put an end to the hip-hopster's joyride after observing him make a turn without signaling.
The rapper was handcuffed and escorted to a nearby precinct to ensure his safety after a crowd gathered.
He was issued four summonses and released without being fingerprinted or photographed. He faces about $200 in fines.
The Lamborghini, which is worth around $200,000, was driven to the station by a police officer and relinquished to a friend of the G-Unit rapper, who arrived bearing the vehicle's documentation and a valid license.
All things considered, it was a relatively tame run-in with the fuzz for Fiddy, whose lengthy police record includes prior arrests on drug, gun and assault charges.
Last month, the rapper was sued by two women who claimed they were trampled by crowds and battered by Fiddy himself in a brawl that ensued at a Massachusetts concert in May 2004.
The civil suit comes over a year after the rapper avoided jail in the case by cutting a plea deal with prosecutors requiring him to remain crime- and drug-free for
two years.
