It has been revealed that the prominent fact of 50 Cent surviving nine gunshots was made possible by a Ghanaian surgeon by name Dr Moses DeGraft-Johnson.
According to Omgvoice.com who compiled a news report, the long time secret was made public by Lawyer William Bubsey, who is currently representing Dr Moses in his 52-count federal indictment for committing $23 million insurance fraud.
It was made known at the court that when 50 Cent was fired nine different shots at close range with a 9mm handgun, the Ghanaian surgeon was the doctor that saved him from joining the dead.
50 Cent whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III was reportedly shot in the hand, arm, hip, both legs, chest, and left cheek.
