50 Cent Under Police Protection, See Link To JMJ Murder
By Chuck 'Jigsaw' Creekmur, BET.Com Staff Writer
Posted Nov. 1, 2002-- Officials in New York are investigating a possible link between the murder of Jam Master Jay and rapper 50 Cent, who worked with the DJ early in his career before signing with Trackmasters/Columbia Records. Police sources said they plan to protect 50 Cent even if the rapper is resistant to it.
"They're going to guard them whether they like it or not, with or without their permission," one source told the NY Post. "There won't be any murder wars here."
50 Cent (Curtis Jackson) has been under police protection since Wednesday, October 30, the night Jay was slain.
Other anonymous sources have speculated that the murder of 37-year-old Jay was actually a hit on 50 Cent. However, police and investigators have yet to release such information.
In May of 2000, 50 Cent was shot in the face, hand and legs while sitting in a car in Queens. While the culprits were never arrested, it was widely suspected to be a revenge shooting of some form. 50 Cent had also been stabbed in The Hit Factory, a New York studio, earlier that year.
In addition to 50, detectives said that they are protecting a number of other musical artists who are affiliated with the legendary producer and DJ for Run DMC.
Jay, (Jason Mizell), one third of the rap team Run DMC, was shot and killed in a recording studio in Jamaica, Queens, N.Y. At approximately 7:30 p.m. (ET), unidentified men shot him once in the head, killing him instantly. According to police sources, the assassins were buzzed into the second floor studio, suggesting that Jam Master Jay knew his assailants or was set up.
Another man was shot in the leg during the hit. Jay had been in the studio working with an R&B duo, Rusty Waters..
Family and friends continue to mourn the death of Jam Master Jay and hope for an expeditious resolution to this murder investigation.
"Jam Master Jay was a pioneer," said Sean "P. Diddy" Combs. "He led the way for a whole new genre of talent." In a statement, DMC (Darryl McDaniels) recalled how influential his groupmate had been: "He stuck to the true essence of what a DJ in a hip-hop performance should be... I always thought that we would be together forever."
Jam Master Jay's wife, Teri Mizell, also released a statement on behalf of herself anf the children Jay left behind. "Jay's tragic death has left all of us numb," she said. "We pray that the person or persons responsible for taking away the breath from this loving husband and wonderful father is captured and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
"Jay's smile is what I already deeply miss," said Lyor Cohen, CEO of Island Def Jam, in a statement. "Jay's smile was a conversation, so many words in his smile." Cohen worked as a road manager for Run DMC from 1982 - 1985 and worked very closely with Jay.
"I personally want to work hard to champion the positive over the negative, and to help remind me, I will keep Jason's smile so very close to my heart," Cohen said.

most likely 50 Cent will be the nect rapper dead, pretty damn sad! cause i like his shit, just people really want that dude snuffed, and he speaken on Ja Rule and Jay-Z in wangster!!!
G.O.D your not a hater, thats your opinon, but the songs on the 8Mile soundtrack arn't the type of songs that got him such a huge buzz, pick up some "G-Unit" tracks of Kazaa, or load or buy the album "50Cent - Power of the Dollar" that is what got him the buzz, cause its tight as fuck!
and just for fun, awhile back 50Cent talked about how he punked Ja Rule in Frisco, on some promo tour lol He ain't fake, but neither are the people he beefs with, so could be either him or them... whatever, i hope they all chill out !
