Cent (born Curtis Jackons), the

artist behind the "How

To Rob" song, that infuriated many rappers, was

shot once in each leg and in the jaw Wednesday in New York City.

He is in Jamaica Hospital in stable condition. 50 Cent, who is

22 years old, was sitting in a parked car with 22 year old associate

Alton Brown. An as yet unknown assailant pulled up in a blue GM

and fired 9 shots from a 9MM handgun, around 11:22AM.

The

victims drove themselves to the hospital, and while 50 Cent’s

injuries are not life threatening, he was about to go through

surgery late last night. The suspect was a black male in a black

short sleeved shirt, with a stocky build. 50 Cent was also assaulted

last month in Manhattan where he and members of his group were

trying to record his debut album, The Power Of The Dollar, which

is slated for a June release. He also stated that he has confirmed

beef with Ja Rule, stemming from an incident in Atlanta, where

50 Cent allegedly punched Ja Rule in the face. Sticky Fingers

of Onyx and Ghostface also responded on their records to 50 Cent’s

song, How To Rob. Check out the 50
