50 Cent was shot in the year 2000 outside his grandmother’s home in Queens, New York. He was shot nine times all over his body, including his legs, hands, arms, face and chest. His legs were broken in several places, and he spent 13 days in the hospital.
During an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2012, 50 Cent told her that “It doesn’t hurt as much as people imagine it hurts because of the adrenaline. But it hurts after. Going through that experience, when you get hurt that bad, either your fear consumes you or you become a bit insensitive. There was a point where I was afraid, and then in the recovery process I got tired of being afraid. The only way to cover those emotions was to be a bit more aggressive. And to be angry about the situation, opposed to how I was actually feeling at that point.”
