Rapper 50 Cent was only shot three times, a shocking new report on mediatakeout.com claims. When half a dollar first hit the scene, he claimed that he survived being shot 9 times.
In an interview with hip hop journalist Davey D, done in 2003, 50 was quoted as saying the following:
Davey D: DID YOU REALLY GET SHOT 8 TIMES?
50 Cent: 9 times on May 24, 2000 I got shot… I was in the hospital for like 13 days...and it sounds crazy... it hurted more to not know what I was gonna do with myself AFTER being shot.. like when I called Columbia Records and they didn’t know what to do
And the gunshot distortion is repeated on 50 Cent's official web page. Here's how Interscope Records describes the shooting incident in 50's bio: "In April of '00, 50 was shot 9 times, including a .9mm bullet to the face, in front of his grandmothers house in Queens. "
9 shots
Only shot 3 times? What a wimp.
