A veteran NYPD officer is under investigation for allegedly telling his colleagues to shoot rapper 50 Cent on sight.
The comment was made last June when the In Da Club singer was scheduled to attend an NYPD boxing match in the Bronx, TMZ reports.
According to police sources, Commanding Officer Emanuel Gonzalez said, "Shoot him on sight". But it was a joke, the sources added.
It turns out 50 cent and Gonzalez have a history.
According to the NY Daily News, which broke the story, a month earlier Gonzalez filed an aggravated harassment complaint claiming 50 Cent threatened him on Instagram.
