Throwback: When 50 Cent Recalled His Own Shooting Incident Post Trump Assassination Attempt

In my own words, I’ve posted a photo showing Donald Trump being escorted offstage, and I wrote, “I sense the mood. We’re all in deep now!” Later, I reposted the cover art of my ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin” album, swapping my face with Trump’s image, accompanied by the caption, “Trump gets shot, and suddenly, I’m trending.” As Billboard magazine reported, this incident involving me occurred in 2000, before the release of my debut album ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’. The individual identified as the shooter at that time was Darryl ‘Hommo’ Baun.

50 Cent’s shooting incident left everyone stunned and disheartened. The rapper was hit by nine bullets from a handgun outside his grandmother’s house in South Jamaica, Queens. He was standing near the house when an unidentified person began firing at him. 50 Cent was wounded in his legs, arm, hip, chest, and face, leaving him severely injured. He underwent multiple surgeries to stay alive.

During an appearance on Howard Stern’s show in 2013, this rapper explained, “I received payment for it… It’s my history… It’s karma. He was compensated because someone believed I might retaliate if they continued their actions. Being shot in the face wasn’t as agonizing as having to endure multiple dental visits for a root canal.”

During Donald Trump’s secure transport, it was discovered that the potential gunman had passed away. The Secret Service disclosed that the gunman may have been stationed at a higher vantage point outside the rally. Despite our lack of knowledge about the assailant’s identity, online communities have expressed their worries on social media platforms for several weeks.
