Caption: 50 Cent assures fans shooting rumour is 'fake news’. The rapper and producer, real name Curtis Jackson took to social media to assure fans he was doing OK after a viral TikTok video claimed, he was in critical condition in the hospital after an alleged shooting in Hollywood. He posted a screengrab of the video on Instagram which shows TMZ as the source, and corrected the false rumour. ”Don't worry I'm gonna make it, because this is fake news”. In the comments, actress Jaime King replied, "Thank God, Curtis” while actor Frank Grillo wrote, "Hahahahaahah" with boxing glove emojis. Fans also connected the rumour to his previous shooting in 2000, with one writing, "Wouldn't matter 50 always survives lol” and another joking, "Don't they know shots don't kill you.” The In Da Club star was shot nine times at close range outside his grandmother's house in Queens, New York in May 2000. He spent almost two weeks in the hospital and another five months recovering from his injuries. He has referenced the incident on many of his tracks, including Many Men and 9 Shots.
