Rapper 50 Cent was arrested for traffic offenses while driving a silver, open-topped Lamborghini today Friday, September 8th.



According to several reports, 50 Cent was stopped by an officer in an unmarked car and ordered to produce his driver's license. He refused, staying in the car to make a call on his mobile phone. He was eventually detained to the Midtown South precinct on 35th Street, to escape the crowd of onlookers that had gathered, a few blocks away from the G-Unit Records offices.

The rapper, whose given name is Curtis Jackson, was cited for making an unsafe lane change, driving with an expired permit, driving without insurance and driving without a vehicle registration, a police spokesman said.

He was released and is due to appear in court at a unspecified later date.
