NYPD commander allegedly tells cops to shoot 50 Cent ‘on the spot’: report
50 Cent is reportedly considering legal action after it was reported that an NYPD commander allegedly told officers to 'shoot' the rapper on the spot, reports said.
50 Cent has finally sold his over-the-top Connecticut mansion to the tune of $3 million. And although the rapper – otherwise known as Curtis Jackson – unloaded the 50,000-square-foot home for 84 percent less than he initially asked for in 2007, it’s all for a good cause, as the Grammy winner is said to be donating all of the proceeds to charity.
On Monday, TMZ reported that Jackson finally sold the Farmington megamansion, with all profits from the sale benefitting his G-Unity Foundation. The palatial 19-bedroom, 25-bathroom home was once owned by Mike Tyson, and the boxer’s ex-wife Monica Turner sold the home to 50 Cent in 2003 for $4.1 million, Architectural Digest reports.

The 17-plus acre estate hopped on and off the market for several years with various price cuts, most recently being listed for $4.995 million, as per MarketWatch. Though the “Candy Shop” singer filed for bankruptcy in 2015, which revealed that the Farmington mansion cost around $70,000 in monthly fees, the now 43-year-old rapper was able to hang onto the house.

As noted by AD, the most extravagant features of the home likely delayed its sale for years on end, with amenities including a recording studio, green-screen room, full-sized gym, multiple gaming rooms, a home theatre, basketball court, indoor pool, a “night club,” “Playboy mansion-style grotto” and more.
