Not The First Time 50 Had Somebody Assaulted Over A Shirt

I really really really try to stay away from rap beefs cause I really really really don't give a phuck, but when I read that 50 Cent and his G-Unit flunky Tony Yayo were arrested for back hand slapping a 14 year old because he was wearing a Czar Entertainment shirt (FYI the kid turned out to be the son of Czar Entertainment head honcho Jimmy Henchmen, and yeah it's about to get hot) it reminded of an incident that happened a few years ago in my home town. Eminem and G-Unit was on the Anger Management tour and this kid in Detroit (actually he was in the ultra posh suburb Birmingham, they wouldn't have tried that in the hood) says he was at an outdoor cafe wearing a G-UNot t-shirt. The kid said 50 and his crew screamed "f**k you" at him from a white van, stopped and 15 dudes jumped out and told him he had two seconds to take the shirt off, or they would take it off for him. No charges were filed in that case. Maybe they can get that kid to testify in this case, he's not hard to find, the kid's dad is W.K. Heron, a managing editor at the Detroit alternative weekly Metro Times.
