Bullet casings extracted from 50 Cent
50 Cent vs. Murder Inc. stands out as one of hip hop’s most hotly contested beefs, far and away above Kanye and Taylor's small tiff. In the year 2000 a boiling point was reached after the Fiddy track ‘Ghetto Qu’ran’ leaked and he was accused of snitching on the illegal dealings of Murder Inc. crew members such as Kenneth McGriff. The response was swift and deadly: 50 Cent was shot nine times, through the hand, arm, hip, both legs, chest and left cheek, in a drive by attack, leaving him permanently scarred but, impressively, alive to tell the tale.
A Murder Inc. gravestone
50 Cent, real name Curstis Jackson, had the last laugh, going onto body the careers of Murder Inc. in a long-running feud. Jackson turned out as the clear winner, and Murder Inc. have gradually faded into obscurity while 50 has released a string of internationally chart-topping albums. If anything could give an indicator as to how totally 50 knocked Ja Rule’s mojo to the ground, it’s that the Murder Inc. affiliate’s latest project was the disastrous Fyre Festival. Still, we’d welcome new Ashanti material any time.
