Yesterday (June 16) 50 Cent taught a young fan a lesson he will never forget: stay far, far away from his Rolls-Royce.

The rapper was driving around the streets of New York City with the top down when an eager fan ran up to his ride to say a hello. What happened next, as caught on video, wasn’t something the passerby wasn't expecting.

When the fan went up to greet Fif, he apparently got too close for the rapper's liking and was quite literally swatted away.

While there’s a chance 50 Cent was overreacting or trying to be funny, we’re sure his PR people aren’t too pleased about a video titled “50 Cent Smacks Little Kid” circulating the web today.

Take a look at the short clip below.
