50 Cent and Lloyd Banks were released from police
custody after they were arrested for gun charges in front of a nightclub in
Manhattan New York early Tuesday (Dec 31) morning.
50 Cent posted $10,000 bond on Tuesday, while
Bank’s amount was lower. All of the suspects were released with the exception
of Jean Bernard, who had an outstanding warrant for his arrest in Queens, New
York. The hired driver of the vehicle was not charged.
Shortly before his arrest, 50 Cent claimed that
he wasn’t as much trouble as people perceive. "I think people think that
I set out for trouble," he told AllHipHop.com. "But once they get
around me they realize that ain’t what it is."
Looking toward the future, 50 said that signing
the deal with Eminem has not caused any drastic changes in his lifestyle.
“One thing I know for sure is I am content
with myself," he continued. "I see the expectation that people have
around me. Signing the deal, it makes no difference, because the people that
might wish I do bad, I’m already doing better than people would expect
me to do. So, I’m on cloud nine. I can only do better because of my space
right now.”
