Rapper 50 Cent, who has just finished filming his semi-biographic movie 'Get Rich or Die Tryin', confessed it was kind of 'weird' for him, because he remembered the incident when he was shot on the back seats of his car, in Queens, May 2000.

According to website The Smoking Gun, a 2003 search warrant affidavit for the Manhattan offices of the Murder Inc. record label showed that McGriff, an incarcerated Drug Lord with ties to Murder Inc., was still trying to kill 50 Cent and that he "communicates with Murder Inc. employees concerning the target."
An excerpt of the affidavit reads:

"The investigation has uncovered a conspiracy involving McGriff and others to murder a rap artist who has released songs containing lyrics regarding McGriff's criminal activities.
The rap artist was shot in 2000 nine times, survived and there after refused to cooperate with law enforcement regarding the shooting.
Messages transmitted over the Murder Inc. Pager indicate that McGriff is involved in an ongoing plot to kill this rap artist, and that he communicates with Murder Inc. employees concerning the target".

Referring to the actual filming of the movie scenes, the rapper says: "It was eerie lying on the operating table. The shooting sequence in the movie wasn't the same as what happened to me, and I was more focused on the physical aspect of it, making it look real.
When it happened for real, I wasn't conscious by the time I got to the operating table, I was already under anesthesic So lying there still and awake for eight hours while they shot the scene with the actors pretending to be surgeons standing around me, that was weird."
