<P>Nine gun shots wasn't enough to take out <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/50_cent/artist.jhtml">50 Cent</a>, but a bad hamburger could have been the undoing of rap's #1 bad guy. The G-Unit general was hospitalized this week with stomach pains, but a phone call from his homey <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/eminem/artist.jhtml">Eminem</a> surely lightened the mood.</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="50 Cent Avoids Surgery" id="vid:770453" width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P>"I'm in a dead serious moment like, 'Damn, I don't believe this is happenin' right now,' " Fif said recalling the moments before Slim Shady phoned him. "He goes, 'Yo Fif, you were shot nine times man if you die over a burger, this sh-- ain't gonna go right. People ain't gonna be feelin' this.' "</P><P>On Wednesday, Fif tweeted a picture of himself in a hospital bed and sent a <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/50cent/status/202880891767357440" target="_blank"> public message</a> to his boxing friend Floyd Mayweather that read: "I don't want to go into surgery."</P><P>Lucky for him, he didn't have to. When MTV News checked up on 50 at his NYC G-Unit office on Thursday, just hours after he was released from the hospital, he said he was able to avoid going into surgery to remove blockage in his small intestine.</P><P>"I'm feelin' better; I'm in good spirits," Fif added.</P><P>DJ Drama, who is in New York to promote his upcoming mixtape with 50, <a href="http://rapfix.mtv.com/2012/05/11/50-cent-ready-to-unleash-the-lost-tape/"><i>The Lost Tape,</i></a> told MTV News he was worried about his boy. To lift the gangsta rapper's spirits Drama sent three <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/50cent/status/202889979469369344" target="_blank">stuffed animals</a> to 50: a giraffe, an elephant and a lion.</P><P>They say it's the thought that counts, but Drama's get-well gifts didn't go over so well. "That wasn't cool. That's all you get," 50 told Drama jokingly while our cameras rolled. "You get 15 tracks, you damn near have to die to do a <i>Gangsta Grillz</i> and this is the thanks I get?"</P><P>Stay tuned to MTV News' <i>Mixtape Daily</i> for more on 50 Cent and DJ Drama's <i>The Lost Tape,</i> which will be released on May 22.</p>
