Rap superstar 50 Cent was caught "riding dirty" on Friday afternoon as he drove through Midtown Manhattan in a silver open-topped Lamborghini.

50 Cent, born Curtis Jackson, was pulled over by plainclothes officers in an unmarked car at 2 p.m., after he allegedly made an unsafe lane change.

Jackson was then ordered out of his car when officers discovered he was driving with an expired license, without insurance, and without vehicle registration.

Outside the New Yorker Hotel passersby gathered around, snapped photos, and booed police officers as they handcuffed the multi-platinum selling rapper.

The 31-year-old artist was cited for a lane-change violation, the expired license, and the lack of registration at a nearby police station, said Detective Christopher Filippazo.

Jackson was later released when an undisclosed friend showed up with proof of vehicle ownership.

The minor traffic offenses could cost him as much as $220 fines. In contrast, the Lamborghini he was driving reportedly costs upwards of $175,000.

oh no $220 FINES HE MIGHT GO BROKE!!..lol fuckin stupid shit...

That cat is ova...tryin to imporve his "bad ass" image by speedin in manhattan so everybody could see he's still a gangsta..fuck that bitch man, u're loosin it

He's not over. His next album will sell just as many copies. Its funny all i hear on forums and by people is how much 50 cent sucks. Then its all I hear everywhere.

God Know I would love 50 cent to be over. But its not going to happen.

And why is it when we get pulled over. Its just a mistake or no big deal. But if a celebrity gets pulled
over. he is trying to change his image. Lol

In my point of view 50 cent is the one that started the whole gangsta rap shit , or the one that really made it famous and I dont think he's going down that fast. Plus the little track "The Bomb" was a real real improvement from him so im sure he has a surprise packed.

No. He cant surprise us anymore. Lol

at least hes consistant in life... rhyming isn't the only thing hes bad at

That may be the truth complexity, I don' blame u for lookin at it that way. But shit doesn't make sense. You don't speed through the streets of manhattan at daytime to feel the horsepower of your lamboreghini, unless u wanna get caught .. just doesn't make sense homez

yeah, he wanted to go to jail, then he got to fightin at Rev Ron's wife little show cause someone wouldn't move to let his homey sit next to him...then has a track dissin Diddy...he probably frustrated cause Diddy dissed him back...but 50 has LL Cool James, so he still gone be on top...he smart face it

50 cent DID NOT start ne type of gangster rap...nore made it famous...dat shit was around back in eazy E's day...lol

he didn't do it for publicity or to try to better his rep lol

hes not that stupid how would this effect him in a positive way no street nigga gives a fuck about a speeding ticket... he just got a ticket because he don't give a fuck and felt like driving fast cause he could afford a ticket if he got one

There's a easy explanation here. He was crusing in his whip you know listening to some invincible-lyricist then all of sudden he had a feeling from his stomach downwards. Being on the street in Midtown Manhattan he had to find a restroom. The only quick way was speeding and eventually got pulled over. He obviously shitted in his pants and used his insurance as toliet paper.

yeah, that gots to be it!!:P

wow, 50 cent and a speeding ticket, i'm with Killah on this i don't think he gives a fuck, but, hes lame anyways so it really doesn't matter too much.

lol @ 50 cent making gangster rap famous, nah thats NWA.

and its true, no one seems to be a 50 cent fan ever, yet he sells so many albums, i donno i aint a fan, i do like his underground shit tho, its way better, mustve been recorded before he got shot in the face LMAO
