Flo Rida Busted for DUI in a Bugatti Veyron

 0609-florida-car-ex-tmz-02-credit.jpg

So Flo Rida (::shrug::) real name Tramar Dillard, is rich enough to own a Veyron, but too dumb to take a cab / limo / helicopter after a night of clubbing when he's blowing a 0.185  -- twice the legal limit. Nice.

Drunk driving is never funny but I just don't understand how these rich celebrities aren't smart enough to have a driver on hand.

Hell, if they're too dumb to do it.. why isn't their management making sure it happens?

Idiots.

Just cut this portion out of your post and it makes sense:

"rich celebrities aren't smart" It just isn't a requirement.

well he wants to have the most "baller" ride in "da club", but clearly you can't be "baller" with a driver for your 2 seater sports car. that's what he gets for being a show off.

if i'm rich, i'd have a driver... i may enjoy driving, but i hate commuting.

How come all rappers have stage names that make no sense whatsoever?
Puff Daddy?
$0.50?
M&M?

M&M i.e. Eminem makes sense. His real name is Michael Mathers.

p.s. it is entertainment. No-one seemed to have a problem with John Wayne et al...

FLO RIDA is from Florida

Combs says he was given the nickname "Puff" as a child because he would "huff and puff" when he was angry

Following time spent in a correctional boot camp, Jackson adopted the nickname "50 Cent" as a metaphor for "change"

Eminem = M&M = Marshall Mathers

Okay, he for sure doesn't own said Veyron. He doesn't have that much money. Sucks for whoever he borrowed the car from.

Lots of these doods roll in leased/borrowed cars.
Queen Latifah made fun of it in one interview.

Think about it. How much money you've got to make to buy a $1.4 mill car. Money in music is made from touring. Years of touring. Hit songs are just to make people want to go see you perform live.

It's all about looking like a baller..

well yeah... anyone i've known who is truly rich, doesn't need to show it. you might even confuse the rich with the homeless... i kid you not. Flo Rida has had like 3 hit songs? Not sure that is Bugatti Veyron money... Eminem/ P-diddy/ 50 Cent... yeah, they're that rich... i believe they have drivers though.

Wow, DD in Veyron! Talk about Darwinism. I mean DD in a regular car is bad enough, you know ones that can only attain just over 100 mph in a city, but in a car this fast one bad move or slow rection and you are hitting something at ludicrous speed.

Sure he's in a Veyron now, but in a couple years he'll be in one of those rehab/has-been reality shows just like Flavor-Flav and MC Hammer.

And it's not just rappers that have "catchy" stage names (Ke$ha, Lady Gaga, Big & Rich and Bruno Mars come to mind....)
