FABOLOUS' CREDIT CARDS DECLINED AT BAR: Rapper was trying to pay for 20-plus member entourage.

     *The New York Post's Page Six is reporting that rapper Fabolous tried to pick up the tab for an entourage of more than 20 at an Atlanta restaurant, only to have five of his credit cards declined.

      The large group requested "the usual excess of champagne and alcohol, so the manager asked for a credit card to start a tab," said a source who saw Fab and his crew at the hot Eros World Tapas Bar on Saturday. Unfortunately, none of the rap star's credit cards went through.

       "By the fifth credit card, the entourage member designated to take care of his tab goes outside," the source said, "only to start a fight with the outside bouncer. He tripped and fell, hitting his head on the concrete and started bleeding. The manager called an ambulance. But as soon as the entourage member also saw the police, he began running away, blood oozing down his face."       

       Fabolous and his posse stayed and ordered champagne but paid cash, the Post reported.
