50 Cent Only Shot Three Times? I Want My Money Back

50 Cent Only Shot Three Times? I Want My Money Back
According to a new report from Media Takeout, 50 Cent may have lied about how many times he was shot in 2000. The rapper became notorious for surviving an attack in which he claimed to be shot nine times. Now it seems 50 is a big pansy who was only shot three times. God, 50, how could you mislead us!?!

In a MediaTakeOut.com exclusive, we got our hands on the official police report issued on the shooting. And according to the report, the Queens rapper was shot only 3 times (see below report).

Unfortunately, that’s not what 50’s been telling everyone. 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.”

I feel so cheated. I no longer find you or your magic stick interesting, sir.
