After saying “motherfucker” at a St. Kitts concert on Saturday, 50 Cent was arrested and charged with “profanity in public”.
Originally only booked to host the concert, he agreed to perform at the last minute. The concert’s DJ lacked clean versions of 50’s tracks, leading to the offending expletive.
50 Cent paid a $376 fine for the incident and returned to the U.S. just a day after being arrested. He is not the first rapper to face this charge: in 2003, the year 50 released the multi-platinum Get Rich or Die Tryin’ , DMX was charged for profanity at a St. Kitts’ music festival.
Watch the video for ‘P.I.M.P.’, the Get Rich or Die Tryin’ track that led to 50’s arrest, below.
