50 Cent, the rapper who delivered last year's funny but abrasive "How To Rob...," was shot once in each leg and once in the jaw Wednesday in New York City. He is in stable condition at Jamaica Hospital in Queens.
Police spokesperson Det. Joseph Pentagelo confirmed that the 24-year-old rapper, who was born Curtis Jackson, and an associate, 22-year-old Alton Brown, were sitting in a parked car in the Jamaica section of Queens, when an unknown assailant pulled up beside them in a blue General Motors car and fired nine shots with a 9MM handgun. Brown sustained a gunshot wound to the hand. The assault occurred at 11:22am.
After the shooting, the victims drove themselves to a nearby hospital. Fifty's injuries are not life threatening, said Hospital spokesperson Michael Hink, who added that he was about to go into surgery in the early evening. Brown, Pentangelo said, was treated and released.
The suspect is described as a Black male in a black short-sleeve shirt with a stocky build.
It's been a rough two months for Fifty: The assault comes almost two months to the day after members of his crew were assaulted in a Manhattan recording studio. Fifty is scheduled to drop his debut album, The Power Of The Dollar in June.

He is in Jamaica Hospital in stable condition. 50 Cent, who is 22 years old, was sitting in a parked car with 22 year old associate Alton Brown. An as yet unknown assailant pulled up in a blue GM and fired 9 shots from a 9MM handgun, around 11:22AM.
The victims drove themselves to the hospital, and while 50 Cent's injuries are not life threatening, he was about to go through surgery late last night. The suspect was a black male in a black short sleeved shirt, with a stocky build. 50 Cent was also assaulted last month in Manhattan where he and members of his group were trying to record his debut album, The Power Of The Dollar, which is slated for a June release. He also stated that he has confirmed beef with Ja Rule, stemming from an incident in Atlanta, where 50 Cent allegedly punched Ja Rule in the face. Sticky Fingers of Onyx and Ghostface also responded on their records to 50 Cent's song, How To Rob. Check out the 50 Cent Interview in Real Audio, from 50cent.com
