Hip-hop star 50 Cent announced he was dropping his prot�g� The Game from his G-Unit collective on air Monday night, only minutes before someone in his entourage was shot in a radio station lobby.
The "Candy Shop" rapper, 29, told listeners at a New York radio station he was parting ways with The Game, because he believes the rapper was "disloyal."
MTV.com reports 50 Cent said, "He's gone. He might as well make the record. He should stop saying G-Unit. He thinks he's doing me a favor when he says that."
Shortly after 50 Cent - real name Curtis Jackson - made his announcement, a 24-year-old member of his entourage was shot in the lobby of the Manhattan station.
50 Cent and his crew were quickly escorted from the radio station and escaped harm.
The unidentified Los Angeles man was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital where he remains in a stable condition Tuesday.
New York Police Department (NYPD) spokesman Sergeant Kevin Farrell said officers were investigating the incident and no arrests had been made.
