Default 50 Cent in the news again

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) - Rapper 50 Cent underwent emergency surgery last night while doctors tried to replace his left hand. The superstar rapper, also known as Curtis Jackson was outside of the Glass House nightclub early Tuesday morning when the Lamborghini doors on his Escalade slammed down on his left hand. Eyewitness reports claimed that it may have been a gust of wind, but some say the vibration from the speakers in his Cadillac may have caused the Lamborghini door to slam shut.

Paramedics rushed Jackson to the USC Medical Center, where emergency room doctors tried to reattach Jackson’s left hand. Unfortunately, the blood loss was too severe, and they were unable to salvage Jackson’s hand. The operating doctor was not available for comment, but the hospital did release a statement. “Our medical staff performed beyond expectations in an attempt to prevent the loss of Curtis Jackson’s hand. It’s an unfortunate accident, and we hope to help Mr. Jackson through the trauma and rehabilitation,” signed by the president of USC Medical Center.

The rapper's legal team claimed that they will be seeking Legal action against Cadillac for the accident. Representatives at Cadillac told us, "Any faults with the modifications done to the vehicle are no longer our responsibility. Such drastic changes to the vehicle cancels the buyer's Warranty Agreement. If [Curtis Jackson's] legal team wants to harass anyone for their damages, it should be the people who installed our competitor's doors on the Escalade." Sources claim that the modifications were done at West Coast Customs, a car specialties garage popularized by Viacom's Music Television (MTV).

Jackson’s debut album, “Get Rich or Die Tryin’,” sold over 3 million copies worldwide. He is signed to Eminem’s Shady Record label under the Interscope umbrella. He has a new album slated for release this March titled, “The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre.” A comment from his label was unavailable at press time.

Yea, how can a lambo-styled door chop off a hand. Can't be right, especially on a cadillac's door... they ain't a paper cutter. Although it could be so farfetched it's true.
