NEW YORK, Sept. 9 (UPI) -- Rap star 50 Cent was hauled away in front of a crowd of fans Friday after being pulled over by New York police for alleged traffic violations.
The star of the gangster rap genre flashed a big smile to onlookers as he stepped out of his Lamborghini sports car in Manhattan after he allegedly failed to signal a lane change and then could not produce a driver's license or proof of insurance for the patrolmen who pulled him over.
