A lot of entertainers are feeling the effects of the recession, some you wouldn't expect. Most recently, it seems as if rapper Fabolous is one of them.

According to a story from Bossip, the rapper had some credit card troubles when he and his entourage were partying at a restaurant in Atlanta.

Fab and his crew showed up at the Eros World Tapas Bar on Saturday (January 24) with an entourage of more than 20, a source said. They asked for "the usual excess of champagne and alcohol, so the manager asked for a credit card to start a tab."

This is when the trouble began. The rapper's credit cards were all declined, said the report.

"By the fifth credit card, the entourage member designated to take care of his tab goes outside," the source revealed, "only to start a fight with the outside bouncer. He tripped and fell, hitting his head on the concrete and started bleeding."

This is when the manager called an ambulance. But, when the entourage member saw the police, he began "running away, blood oozing down his face."

Despite the mishap, Fabolous and his entourage stayed, ordered champagne, but had to pay in cash.

At press time, reps for both the restaurant and the rapper declined to comment.
