50 Cent show turns violent

2004-05-11 13:29

Massachusetts - Police are investigating a shooting after 50 Cent jumped off stage, sparking a fight, during a US show.

The rapper was 10 minutes into his set at the Hippodrome club in Springfield, Massachusetts, when violence erupted.

Two people were arrested and officers are investigating whether a shooting outside the club was related.

50 Cent jumped into the crowd after somebody threw a water bottle at him, said club co-owner Michael Barrasso.

He added: "He removed his gold chain, handed it to someone on the stage next to him and jumped off the stage into the crowd."

His huge entourage of bodyguards then followed and a fight broke out.

Police and security guards then managed to push 50 Cent and his entourage back on stage.

"He finished the song, believe it or not," Barrasso said. "Then the whole entourage and him just rushed for the exit, got in their cars and left."

Police said a man later limped into the nearby Mercy Medical Centre, with a gunshot wound to the thigh.
