In 2000, 50 Cent recorded the song "Ghetto Qu'Ran (Forgive Me)," in which he narrated the illegal activities of drug dealers from Queens, NY. The song was supposed to be included in his debut album, "Power of the Dollar," but his label, Columbia Records, decided to scrap the whole project. However, the song was leaked the same year, exposing all the dirt on "Ghetto Qu'Ran" ... which didn't sit well with drug lords like Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff.

In the first verse, 50 mentioned McGriff and his nephew Gerald "Prince" Miller. "When you hear talk of the Southside, you hear talk of the Team / See, n**** feared Prince and respected Preme" (via Genius). "See, Preme was the business man and Prince was the killer." McGriff reportedly thought Fifty revealed too much about his illicit activities and decided to hire a guy named Jason Mizell to silence him for good. 

"Agents are still trying to determine whether Mizell's homicide has any connection to the ongoing dispute between McGriff and 50 Cent," IRS criminal investigator Francis Mace wrote in a 2003 document (via Billboard). "Law enforcement agents are investigating the possibility that Mizell was murdered for defying the blacklist of 50 Cent." Though Mizell was never charged for said attack, McGriff received a life sentence in 2007 for racketeering, murder-for-hire homicides, drug trafficking, and money laundering. Scroll on to find out exactly what happened the day 50 Cent almost lost his life.
