On May 24, 2000, 50 Cent was attacked by a gunman outside his grandmother's former home in South Jamaica, Queens. He went into a friend's car, but was asked to return to the house to get jewelry. His son was in the house while his grandmother was in the front yard.[5] On returning to the back seat of the car, another car pulled up nearby. An assailant then walked up to 50 Cent's left side with a 9mm handgun and fired nine shots at close range. He was shot nine times—in the hand (a round hit his right thumb and came out of his pinky), arm, hip, both legs, chest, and left cheek.[4][8][25] The face wound resulted in a swollen tongue, the loss of a wisdom tooth, and a small slur in his voice.[7][8][26] His friend ... sustained a gunshot wound to the hand. They were driven to the hospital where 50 Cent spent thirteen days.

Last week, MediaTakeout reported that rap star 50 Cent could very well be on his way of showing his favorite female nemesis, Oprah Winfrey, how talk shows are done with his own talk show in the works. But a 50 rep at Interscope denied the report, telling VIBE that they "have not heard of this."
