50 Cent throws money at fans

50 Cent was abused by his fans for ignoring them while he made his new movie - so he threw money at them to placate them.
The rap star was shooting autobiographical film 'Get Rich Or Die Trin'' in New York when thousands of fans turned up to see him.
But they were left angry and upset when he blanked them because he was busy filming a scene in character.
50, who was banned from speaking to the fans by director Jim Sheridan, revealed to MTV: "The crew don't understand that once we get back to New York I am 50 Cent regardless of what character I'm playing. They'll say, '50, focus, don't pay attention to the people.'
"It'll start off like, 'Yo 50, we love you! 50! 50!' Then they'll notice you're not paying attention to them and it's like, '50! F*** you, 50!
D-Block! Dipset! Two guns up!' It turns into anything they can say to get your attention. They really don't mean anything bad by it."
So the rapper decided to make up for ignoring the onlookers by throwing them cash.
He said: "It was 2,000 people easy, so I threw money in the crowd. Jim is like, 'What the f***? You'd think you'd do something better that than that. The kids are gonna kill each other!'"
