50 Cent Family Day Concerns

New York
City's finest will be kicking up security measures at this years Family Day as 50 Cent readies to put on a not-so-secret show.
The event is expected to draw around 10,000 local residents to the Jamaica, Queens neighborhood, where Fif grew up and was nearly fatally shot in 2000.
But the planned appearance has sparked concerns from local authorities, who have recruited an "army of cops" to shut down the area, fearing violence will break out if a shooter takes aim at 50, reports the New York Post.
"Someone's gonna try to make a name for themselves. They're gonna take a shot at him and they're either gonna hit him or they're gonna miss him and hit some poor, innocent kid or grandmother." An insider tells the Post.
"We can't control the area. (It's) an outdoor event - people could walk in from anywhere," said an officer.
Fif is also set to bus hundreds of children from his former neighborhood to Six Flags
Great Adventures a day before Family Day.
Fif will be taking the stage Aug. 29 at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ, with money raised benefiting The G-Unity Foundation, which provides grants to non-profit organizations that focus on improving the quality of life for low-income communities.
