50 Cent was arrested on Saturday night for his use of profanity during a performance at the St. Kitts Music Festival

Also arrested was Bajar Walter, a bodyguard and member of 50's entourage, for his own use of indecent language and obstruction. Both men were granted bail of $5,000.00EC (roughly $1,850 U.S.) and will appear in court on Monday, June 27.

50 Cent had reportedly been told by festival organizers to keep his set clean, but police were summoned when he screamed "motherf**ker" into a mic, according to TMZ. Local news sources WINNFM and SKNVibes suggest there were multiple utterances of the F-bomb, however.

Under the country's Small Charges Act, it is a misdemeanor offense to use profane words in any public place in this former British colony of around 40 000 people. Police say an offender could be sent to jail depending on how serious the violation is considered to be.

American rapper DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was arrested in St. Kitts for using profanity during a concert in 2003.
