On Saturday night rapper 50 Cent was arrested for using profanity on stage in the Caribbean.

According to TMZ, the cash-strapped star was taken to the police station and booked for using the word 'motherf***er' in front of 40,000 people at his performance.

The 40-year-old New York native was singing on the island of St. Kitts when the arrest was made.

It's illegal to use the word 'motherf***er' there and TMZ reports that 50 'had been warned not to use profanity during his performance.'

It was added 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***er.'

Police came to the show and took the performer to the station to book him for the minor offense.

The site added that he has already paid his fine and has left the Caribbean. His rep also explained that the singer was only there to host and not to perform.

The same thing happened to DMX in 2003.

It's been not an easy time for 50 lately. His financial situation is more dire than previously claimed, new documents in his bankruptcy reveal.

While The Get Rich or Die Tryin' star, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, previously said he was only $28 million in the red, it has been revealed he is actually $36 million in debt - and he only has $19 million in assets, according to the documents obtained exclusively by Daily Mail Online.

The rapper filed for bankruptcy last year, just days after a New York jury ordered him to pay the mother of Rick Ross's child $5 million over a leaked sex tape.

He also lost a legal battle with his his ex-business partner over a failed headphone deal and was slapped with a $17 million judgement in the case.

The total amount of liabilities 50 Cent listed in his original petition for his top 20 creditors came to a total of $28,478,920.

But on May 11, the rapper filed an amended schedule of his assets and liabilities in the bankruptcy.

The new documents reveal that 50 Cent has more than $8.8 million in real estate and $11 million in personal property - totalling in at $19.8 million in assets.

But he says that after reviewing all of this debt, his liabilities come to a total of $36,098,773.

The rapper's monthly income is $184,000, while he spends $108,000 per month on various expenses.

He currently owes $855,000 in domestic support obligations and $1.48 million in taxes and debts to the government.

The singer reached a deal on April 12 with his creditors that stipulates he pay $23 million over the next five years, following his file for bankruptcy.

The amount works out to around $400,000 a month and is 74 per cent of what he originally owed.

He submitted a proposal through his lawyers, which has yet to be approved by bankruptcy judge Ann Nevins.

But hours after proposing the arrangement the rapper was photographed at the Ace of Diamonds strip club in Los Angeles, where he reportedly spent $5,000.
