50 Cent - 50 Cent Go-karts Days After Car Crash

The In Da Club hitmaker, real name Curtis Jackson, was driving in Long Island, New York on 26 June (12) when his vehicle collided with a tractor trailer in the early hours of the morning.

He was hospitalised for "minor neck and back injuries" and released shortly afterwards and his representative assured fans he was "doing fine".

And it seems the horrific accident didn't put 50 off from driving - he headed to the Pole Position Raceway on Friday (29Jun12) for a few laps of high-speed go-kart racing.

According to the New York Post's Page Six gossip column, the hip-hop star specifically requested to drive the number five kart - in reference to his upcoming album, 5 (Murder by Numbers).
