50 Cent Is Pursuing Legal Action Against The NYPD
50 Cent is considering taking legal action against an NYPD precinct commander who he claims made a threat against him.
In June 2018, 50 Cent was supposed to attend an NYPD-sanctioned boxing match when deputy inspector Emmanuel Gonzalez allegedly made a threatening remark. He allegedly said for officers to shoot 50 Cent.
In a statement through his spokesperson, 50 Cent said that he takes the threat very seriously and is consulting with this legal counsel regarding his options moving forward.
The officer and 50 Cent have a previous history with each other. Gonzalez is passing the statement off as a ‘joke.’
A spokesperson for the NYPD said the incident is under internal review.
