Rapper Jim Jones was arrested on Wednesday after cops saw his license had been suspended.

A Harlem rapper was busted in SoHo Wednesday for driving his 2011 Bentley on a suspended license, cops said.

Cops pulled over hip-hop artist Jim Jones, 34, for driving in a bus lane on Broadway near Prince St. about noon, police said.

The lyricist, whose real name is Joseph Guillermo Jones II, was arrested after cops saw his license had been suspended for failure to pay several tickets, police sources said.

"I don't care how many records you sell, you gotta pay your tickets," a cop told Jones, according to one of the sources.

After a few hours in the 1st Precinct stationhouse, cops issued the "We Fly High" rapper a desk appearance ticket and released him, police said.

"I'm just an entertainer trying to make a living," the rapper told the Daily News as he walked out.

Jones said New York's Finest were polite.

"They showed me total respect," he said. "Every officer in there is a gentleman."

Jones made recent headlines after a pair of Houston women claimed the rapper used without consent topless video of them on the beach. The footage appeared in the new "Summer Time" video.

Samantha Stotts and Sharie Johnson are in a clip of the video, half nude on a beach beach with Jones sipping Champagne and counting $100 bills.

The star's fifth album, entitled Capo, will be released on Tuesday.
