50 CENT has been labelled a fake by America's leading hip-hop magazine The Source. The highly regarded publication has conducted an investigation into the star's much-publicised sordid past, and has concluded that it has been exaggerated for image reasons. 50 Cent - real name Curtis Jackson - raps about serving a "three-to-nine" jail sentence, when he actually only spent seven months in a boot camp for non-violent inmates. And the magazine also disputes whether he has been shot nine times, as the former drug-dealer claims to have been. The Source's David Mays says, "He's a fraud. People in the inner city are being shot every day and have survived. "His management team just wants to keep all this drama out there."
