SAN FRANCISCO, June 26, (THEWILL) – American rapper, 50 Cent was arrested in St. Kitts in the Caribbean on Saturday night for using a curse word, “motherf*****” that’s apparently illegal there.
According to the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force, 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson III, had been warned not to use profanity during his performance in front of 40,000 people.
“The DJ didn’t have a clean version of his set, and 50 didn’t pull the mic away from his mouth when he roared, “motherf*****” — and that was enough to get him arrested.”
Cops showed up after the performance and took 50 to the station, where he was booked for using profanity in public. It’s a minor offense, but he has to stick around until Monday, when he’ll go to court and pay a fine.
50 Cent was granted bail but had to surrender his travel documents until his court appearance.
