fiddy says he's a convicted drug dealer, ex-con and the survivor of a multiple shooting = fraud/misled info
The mythology of 50's life, as described in his lyrics, his movie, and his new video game, Bulletproof, suggests that he inhabits an anarchic Hobbesian world where everyone's a brute and life is short, even for those with the biggest weapons.
But make no mistake about it: What you've heard of 50's life is largely mythology, a carefully composed narrative that bears little resemblance to reality.
Take, for example, the oft-repeated claim that 50 was shot nine times, which makes him appear invincible. In reality, 50 was sitting in a car with an "accomplice," shall we say, when some hood from the 'hood drove by, spraying nine bullets in their direction. Fiddy was hit in both legs and the jaw, meaning he was shot three times, not nine. His accomplice was hit in the hand, but still managed to drive 50 to the hospital, where officials confirmed that he wasn't in danger.
Fiddy's stay in prison is equally the stuff of urban legends. He regularly blathers on about having served "seven to nine," an apparent attempt to convince people that the 30-year-old has already done nearly a decade in prison.
But, while 50 was originally sentenced to three to nine years in prison, the "seven" actually refers to the seven months he spent in a prison "boot camp" -- you know, those places where not-so hardened cons get yelled at by former drill sergeants, replace their ebonic-infused street slang with a lot of militaristic "yes sirs" and "no sirs," and spend an inordinate amount of time crying. If anyone could get video of 50's time in the joint, five bucks says it would squash his street cred, pronto.
Even Fiddy's drug dealing, which inexplicably gives him cachet in certain quarters, was less daring than you might think. According to court documents obtained by the Smoking Gun website, 50's accomplice in his drug-dealing ventures was a 16-year-old girl who kept the drugs hidden in her underwear and who made the deals (including the deal to an undercover cop which landed the future rapper in court), while our intrepid street tough looked on from the safety of a car. Fiddy was apparently little more than a lookout, and evidently not a very good one.
The second time 50 was arrested on drug-related charges, police found cocaine, heroin and a starter's pistol in his home. Not what you'd expect from someone who's all about guns, but a fake gun is exactly what you'd expect to find in the home of a poseur extraordinaire who's all about image.
I grew up with Curtis, went to the same school with him, we lived on the same street, I havent seen him in years but I love him to death. I can tell you personally that this article that you registered just to post on here is bullsh*t
1. Curtis never said that he served hard time in anyone's prison/jail. He even talked about the boot camp in a documentary a couple of years ago
2. He alreasy told people what he was arrested for and never made it more than it was. He even talked about the girl who hid the drugs in her underwear, which is what some guys do to not get caught. And yes he really did sell drugs himself. Just ask all the crackheads around hear in my neighrbooh in Queens who miss buying his sh*t
3. Curtis was shot 9 times. Most of the bullets hit him in his legs. He was also shot in his shoulder and you can cleary see the scares from it if you see him in person.
I think people like you who register to message boards to post dumb sh*t like this are jealous of the man to even go out of your way to google something like this, register, and post it. And the fact that the website you got it from is some corny site that no one gives a damn about isnt helping you either
