10 Celebrities in Jail Before or After Fame

10. 50 Cent (Drug Trafficking and Possession, Assault, Possession of Weapons)

Like Wahlberg, 50 Cent had a rough childhood growing up in the South Jamaica area of New York City. He started selling drugs at a young age, and was caught carrying them by the metal detectors of his school. In 1994, he was arrested after he was part of  drug deal involving four vials of cocaine. Weeks later, his home was raided and more drugs recovered. The whole episode led to a six month sentence in a shock incarceration boot camp. He has also been arrested for assault and battery after jumping into the audience when someone threw a water bottle at him during a concert, and keeping weapons in his car while he visited a nightclub. He was recently sentenced to three years unsupervised probation, mandatory counseling and a month of community service for a domestic dispute with an ex-girlfriend. Even with all of 50 Cent’s fame and success, it seems he can’t escape troubles with the law.
