Earlier this week Queens rapper 50 Cent was hospitalized for food poisoning. In a recent interview with MTV News, 50 was feeling better and well enough to share a joke Eminem made about the ailment that almost sent him into surgery. 

"I'm in a dead serious moment like, 'Damn, I don't believe this is happenin' right now," he said. "[Eminem] goes, 'Yo Fif, you were shot nine times man if you die over a burger, this s---- ain't gonna go right. People ain't gonna be feelin' this.'" 

In the end, 50 Cent was able to avoid having surgery to remove the blockage in his small intestines.
