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 cause 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.
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.
WTF?!
