A representative for U.S. rapper 50 Cent says he’s paid a fine and is on his way home after he and a member of his entourage were detained in St. Kitts and Nevis for using “indecent language” during a performance at a music festival.

Representative Amanda Ruisi said in a statement Sunday that 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, was booked to host the St. Kitts Music Festival on Saturday night.
