50 Cent left red-faced as team of security guards break into his Rolls-Royce with coat hanger after locking keys inside



American gangster rapper 50 Cent made sure his arrival in London today did not go unnoticed.



As his Rolls-Royce descended on the Mayfair Hotel, accompanied by his 15 strong entourage in a stretch Hummer, passers-by were in doubt that a superstar was in town.



But things soon took a less glamorous turn when the keys got locked inside the car - forcing his security guard to break in with a coat hanger.

It is not the sort of scene usually witnessed outside the Mayfair Hotel.

To rub salt in the wound, the incident also drew the attention of a parking warden - who promptly issued a ticket.

The New York rapper is in London to star in a new film with Danny Dyer, called Dead Man Running, which will be released next year.

The film is about an ex-con who has 24 hours to raise the money he needs to pay back a loan shark.

It is being funded by footballers Rio Ferdinand and Ashley Cole and written and directed by Alex De Rakoff.

The rapper has previously starred in several films including the semi-autobiographical Get Rich or Die Tryin' which was also the name off his 2005 album.
