Rapper 50 Cent has been filmed striking a female fan at a concert in Baltimore, before bringing her onstage to twerk.

The 'Many Men' hitmaker goes to shake the woman's hand in the footage before she looks to pull him off the stage.

As he falls forward, 50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson, appears to punch the woman in the chest.

There is some commotion as his associates and security move in to cool things down and after being helped back onstage, 50 Cent says "come over here - come here, come here".

She complies and the 'P.I.M.P.' rapper whispers something in her ear - before the video cuts to her bent over dancing onstage as the performance continued.

It's not the first time 50 Cent has perpetrated violence at his concerts.

In 2005, the G-Unit member was convicted of assault for jumping into a crowd and attacking audience members after someone threw a bottle at him.
