POLICE HUNTING FOR 50 CENT

NY POST — BY WILLIAM J. GORTA

February 1, 2004 -- Maybe he's "in da club."

An arrest warrant was issued for rapper 50 Cent after he allegedly drove up to a video shoot in Queens yesterday and hinted that he was going to fire a gun, according to a police report obtained by The Post.

The popular rap artist, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, allegedly pulled up to a GF Records video shoot at 134-06 Guy Brewer Blvd. in St. Alban's at 3:15 p.m., got out of the car and threatened gunplay. "What up? You ready for this?" 50 Cent said as he extended his empty hand and motioned like he was shooting a gun, according to the document.

It was not clear what video was being filmed or why 50 Cent went there. His label, Shady/Aftermath, could not be reached for comment.
