It is well-known that the bullet-ridden 50 Cent, via his infamous tour rider, is fond of what he calls "cold slaw (sic)." (Exagerrated cough suggesting feigned detachment) But what, dear reader, is up with Fitty Cent and the transatlantic travel?

First, there was news that he got into a "scuffle" on a tour of Nigeria. Then, more benignly, there were the intrepid Page Six reports of an enthusiastic Fitty and his entourage doing it up, flip-mode with the ladies in Iceland ("is, ya-ya?"). Now, more commotion across the ocean. Unlike Iceland, things here get a little "heezy." According to the 3AM Girls:

"WE'RE thinking the childish gangsta 'charms' of 50 Cent, his tag-along pals G Unit and other liggers don't translate well into Italian.

"The poor people of Milan had to put up with the self-styled pimp's entourage going on a booze-fuelled violent rampage and disturbing the peace of the city's Fashion Week.

"Fiddy (sic), as he likes to be known, took his 30-strong crew out to sample the best Milanese nightlife in the early hours of Friday morning after he played a gig in the town.

" ... After a boozy bar crawl, the former drug dealer and his friends turned up at T-35, a brand-new warehouse-style club in the fashion district, at 3am."

Cue: Bach's Toccatta in D Minor, why don't you ...

"... 'It was Fashion Week, so the place was crawling with models and 50 was surrounded by them.

"'But some of the guys with him were getting really aggressive with a group of locals, and without warning chairs were being thrown and fists were flying.'"

Sigh. That's jusy Fitty's way of saying, sweetly, thanks for the hospitality, Milan. Later, much later, after more fiery waters had been consumed:

"... After cruising the city trying to find another party, they went back to Fiddy's super-posh hotel, Principe di Savoia, at 5am.

"A bleary-eyed fellow guest says: '50 and some of his entourage took over the bar. There were a few guests still about in the lobby, and 50's lot were being pretty rowdy.' Another hotel source says that within the hour another scrap kicked off between some of Fiddy's unruly gang and other late-night drinkers at the bar.

"Milanese police confirmed they were called to the hotel in the early hours of Friday morning to investigate a fight, but said no charges had been brought."

You can take the thug out of the ghetto, but ... The full story here.
