50 Cent Arrested In New York City

9/8/06, 2:48 pm EST

We’re hangin’ out, checking out the US Open news and listening to radio host and DJ extraordinaire Wendy Williams, when all of a sudden she dishes that 50 Cent has been arrested on 34th Street and 8th Avenue in New York City.

Update: We just heard that a caller called in to Williams’ show saying she had witnessed Fiddy being pulled out of a silver Lamborghini by the cops. Whoa!

Update: We just called the cops. We asked the very helpful Officer Hayes if they have Fiddy in custody and he said, “Yeah, we’re working on it.”

Update: Seems that someone in Fiddy’s camp has really been negligent on the “keep my boss out of jail” front. TMZ reports that the various infractions 50 committed resulting in his arrest were unsafe lane changing, driving with an expired license, and doing all these things in an unregistered, uninsured automobile. 50 was apparently issued tickets for all this stuff and then released. Someone’s in for a beat down on the Connecticut compound.

Great, as a result 50cent will now sell more albums to stupid Urban kids.

He’s probably writing a verse about the incident as we speak.

Aaron | 9/8/2006, 3:12 pm EST

Rolling Stone has turned itself into a bad joke. What happened to professionalism?

DonkeyTron | 9/8/2006, 3:13 pm EST

No. He’ll sell more albums to stupid, white suburban kids.

Bas P | 9/8/2006, 3:20 pm EST

awesome

PinkPick | 9/8/2006, 3:41 pm EST

He got arrested for a) being so damn good looking b) making good music and keeping it real c) his religious values and how it relates with being gangsta d) being an entertainer under 24/7 surveillance made him snap because the pressures of celebrity is too much for one to handle e) an addiction to women R.Kelly had first. f) he called Eminem an N and Em couldn’t get him back because he retired so he did what any retired white man would do and called the cops upon seeing a black man drive a suspicious veichle.

In any case — free 50!

Zack Newman | 9/8/2006, 3:43 pm EST

Four violations? I thought he had only released two albums…

davy d | 9/8/2006, 5:14 pm EST

rap is dying more every day. more proof as it comes in

Klaatu | 9/8/2006, 5:39 pm EST

He has so much more money than I have, doesn’t really work at anything, and he can’t find the time to go get insurance and registration?

Ankur | 9/8/2006, 6:19 pm EST

Well look at the bright side, Fiddy. You have something to rap about again. Times are tough when you’re getting pulled over for driving a Lamborgini to fast.

chokingtara | 9/8/2006, 6:23 pm EST

T'Michael | 9/8/2006, 10:20 pm EST

TO all you G@y rap haters Rap is here to stay.

Freidrich Charles | 9/8/2006, 10:23 pm EST

He was arrested for 1) being an ugly son of a bitch 2) making “music” (?) and keeping it “greasy” 3) I don’t even know what this is about 4) it was the press 5) teabagging R. Kelly 6) It was eminem’s fault and the cops are racist.

Remedial education for 50 cent!

Please check out Joe’s Garage for elaboration on 1 & 2.

Johnny | 9/9/2006, 12:21 am EST

WHy is there a story about 50 Cent on rollingstone.com???? Didn’t you guys only used to cover rock music?

deepak | 9/9/2006, 12:42 am EST

uhhh. rock music is all fine and good. rap is amazing. if you morons could only realize that you should be all Criticising pop music like the avrils and good charlottes instead of hip hop then the music landscape would be a better place. get a freakin life jerks.

john | 9/9/2006, 12:44 am EST

50 cent > beatles

TONY | 9/9/2006, 1:29 am EST

50 cent + his best recording = NOT WORTHY of The Beatles WORSE recording.

rocksiasps_burns | 9/9/2006, 1:43 am EST

his stoooopid hahahahaha

Johnny | 9/9/2006, 2:09 am EST

RAP MUSIC BLOWS!!! It is all the same and takes no talent whatsoever to do..Why do you the think the ratings for the VMA’s are in the toilet?? Because they don’t play rock music anymore..The most anticipated moment of the night was when they had Axl Rose come onstage for 5 seconds…Axl Rose is a legitmate rock star and has sold more records than every rapper in that building combined..Lets see if people are still talking about guys like 50 cent and Eminem in 20 years the way people are still talking about Axl Rose today..Not to mention he is still selling out arenas all over the world…

Mr Grim | 9/9/2006, 4:39 am EST

Thank god, for the comments of sanity, the world was heading to the end, we need rock back and on top where it belongs. (bands need to take the lead that was started by green days american idiot) and get things on track
This whole MM n 50 cent inspired youth thing is such a wank, and thank fk people are starting to wake up and see it

EDVedder | 9/9/2006, 7:43 am EST

Nothing says keepin it real like driving a Lamorghini does it?

Chalk | 9/9/2006, 7:45 am EST

What is the bet that he pulls a Lil’ Kim and compares himself to Malcom X for traffic violations.

JJ Brown | 9/9/2006, 9:58 am EST

50 what are you thinking. Have one of your boyz do it for you. And about rap music…come on. It’s here to stay in some form or another. I WRITE MUSIC the drum and bass tracks can be challanging to lay down. Don’t put music down of any kind, your being a fool. Music is life and all you are doing is putting little value on other’s lives. Passing judgement? Whatever….I’m wasting my time.

Jules | 9/9/2006, 10:24 am EST

“Axl Rose is a legitmate rock star and has sold more records than every rapper in that building combined..Lets see if people are still talking about guys like 50 cent and Eminem in 20 years the way people are still talking about Axl Rose today..Not to mention he is still selling out arenas all over the world…”

Not really, man. Ur taking Eminem like he did nothing. There was a little something called “The Marshall Mathers LP”, and during that time, with all of the controversy and fame, he was almoast neat mythical in media’s eyes. And i don’t think another 20 years will change that. As far as selling out goes, Axl is the prime example to that man. At least Em and 50 don’t treat concert goers like mice in some experiment.

Brendon D. | 9/9/2006, 11:44 am EST

50 is being 50 and showing how lame rap has become. Him being a jerk off just makes all the other rappers look foolish, most are anyway. What a role model, who wants to be like that? Yes I will take all of his money, but you will never hear how much of retard he has become. All the money, fame, power has gone to his magic stick and he really needs to pull his head out of his ass. Like the Beastie Boys said in a song You have been around awhile yeah your career is long, but if you really think about it you’ve only had two songs. Word to your Mutha’s. Peace out in Monpelier Vermont!

UNKNOWN | 9/9/2006, 12:41 pm EST

IM ABOUT AT DOLLAR, WHO REALLY CARES ABOUT 50cents

davy d | 9/9/2006, 1:05 pm EST

smokester | 9/9/2006, 1:30 pm EST

Shame the cops didn’t “Rodney King” his ugly ass.

noirkervin | 9/9/2006, 1:55 pm EST

Meatwad | 9/9/2006, 2:40 pm EST

Who cares about idiot 50-cent. Enjoy some good rap artists with something to convey. IE, Common, NAS…

crackhead | 9/9/2006, 2:59 pm EST

Great, now I have sell my Lambo.

daveg | 9/9/2006, 3:10 pm EST

I never understood celebrities with endless amounts of money, resources, aides, underlings, agents, and managers being too out of it to update a f****** license plate. Seriously, if this guy ever lost all of his money and asskissers he wouldn’t survive in day-to-day life four ^*&^ minutes.

Lady X | 9/9/2006, 6:03 pm EST

None of you know what’s up. EM is a Real Rapper who will always be remembered. 50 is 4 real too. Car isn’t registered? License expired? Sounds like whoever is in charge of his personal upkeep messed up big time. Car looks “to die for”. Lot’s of jealousy out there. Rap over?? Yeah, that is why it is still number one in sales. And not just teens, but lots of over twenty, over thirty, over forty, and more buy it. Get real, & check your facts.

k1mbug | 9/9/2006, 8:01 pm EST

50 cent? i paid 50cents for a cd at a yard sale and then gave it away. no license and all better get a yugo or yu going to jailllllllll loser im a chingy fan hes the real king

if i had 50cent for everytime one of u’all folk mentioned it in this forum i think i’d be as rich as fiddy…. daaaamn, only if i had a lambo……..

GenevaFeva | 9/11/2006, 1:14 am EST

So here’s a question for all of you when did an individual’s behavior determine the quality of the profession he works for? I may be mistaken but “Rap” is not one person, but a genre of music. Music is a universal language. I don’t think anyone has a right to complain about his behavior but only their own.

50 in his butthole | 9/11/2006, 11:10 am EST

DonkeyTron go do what you do go steal sumptin.. Like the rest of your dumb breed. How about you go to school and get a job and stop stealing and killing – damn “canadians”.
That Lam would buy a big boat back to Africa

Laurens | 9/11/2006, 11:25 pm EST

SHiN | 9/12/2006, 5:59 am EST

Who Cares | 11/1/2006, 11:15 am EST

Ok, if it was a normal person, you guys would want them in jail, doesnt mean hes got money it shouldnt be in jail. Fuck fame, its the fucking law.

Bryan Burchfield | 1/22/2007, 9:25 am EST

50 cent- young,dumb and full of cum.

d | 3/22/2008, 7:35 pm EST

oh poor “50cent”, even britney has enough sence to insure the cars she drives even when shes hitting reporters or has a kid on her lap. that says stupidity. and 50 tops that? btw, i love all the ppl on here typing all thug, ” unless of course he aint do nunna dat an da popos is jus fuckin wit him fo no reason than racial profilin” (second comment down) ur tryin 2 hard kids, internet accents? come on now
