  • 50 Cent Accident: Rapper Released From the Hospital, Doing Fine

    After undergoing extensive tests on his spine and neck following a car accident on the Long Island Expressway last night, rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is doing fine and has been released from the hospital.

    According to his website, ThisIs50.com, “50 Cent was in a bad accident tonight as his bullet-proof SUV was rear-ended by a Mack truck on the LIE in NYC. He was put on a stretcher and taken to the nearest Queens hospital where they are currently running tests on his neck and back.”

    I love how they make sure to mention that the SUV was bulletproof. That did not help this situation. I know 50 is “really hard and everyone wants to kill him”, but come on. This kind of image buffering during a serious accident makes me wonder if it wasn’t all staged to solidify 50 Cent’s image that he cannot be killed. (Before people start leaving nasty comments: No I don’t believe that’s what really happened.)

    50 Cent was being chauffeured by his driver, who was also injured in the crash, but both have now been released and are expected to make a rapid recovery. As it turns out, the rapper only had “minor neck and back injuries” according to a representative.

  • 50 Cent Hospitalized With Possible Spinal Injury After Accident

    50 Cent is now in the hospital and undergoing extensive tests on his spine and neck after a terrifying car accident on the Long Island Expressway last night.

    According to his website, ThisIs50.com, a Mack truck was behind the rapper’s SUV–which was being helmed by his driver, who is also in the hospital with undisclosed injuries–when the semi’s load shifted and the truck driver lost control. He slammed into the back of the SUV and almost flipped it over.

    Someone in the rapper’s entourage has posted exclusive photos of him on a stretcher right after the accident and in the hospital on his website; while it appears he doesn’t have any life-threatening injuries, he could have a long and painful road ahead of him if his back and/or neck were damaged.

    50 is well-known for his cat-with-9-lives reputation, as he has survived being shot at least nine times, including once in the face. We will be updating this post as more information becomes available.
