The beef between 50 Cent and Jimmy “Henchmen” Rosemond was real. We’re learning more and more about the long running feud the two during Henchmen’s trial for murder.
The former music executive is said to have been “thirsty for blood” as he drove past 50 Cent’s apartment on the Hudson River, a key government witness testified Friday, before his credibility crumbled on cross-examination.
Rosemond is already serving life after an unrelated 2012 federal trial in Brooklyn, he now faces a new jury weighing whether he paid goons drugs and cash to kill Lowell Fletcher, affiliated with 50 Cent’s crew G-Unit.
Prosecutors called cooperating witness Mohammad Stewart to make the case that the former hip-hop manager ordered Fletcher’s murder on Sept. 7, 2009, as payback for an assault on his 14-year-old son. Stewart has been cooperating with the government since April 16, 2010, the same day that three branches of federal agents arrested him on drug- and firearm-related charges.
For a day and a half, Stewart has regaled jurors with sordid accounts of Rosemond’s alleged exploits, including two attempts on 50 Cent’s life. Read some of the details from Stewart’s testimony here
Stewart’s cross-examination continues Monday as the third week of trial kicks off. The government’s case is expected to rest on Wednesday or Thursday.
