"People living with gang violence should not be forced to fund movies that contribute to that violence," Smith said in a press release on Monday.

Smith objects to 50 Cent's "street-thug" image and the glorification of gun violence and dope dealer culture that is part of his life story, told in the film Get Rich or Die Tryin'.

Rapper 50 CENT has recently criticized actor Samuel L. Jackson for claiming that he turned down a part from 50’s upcoming , "Get rich or die tryin".

The singer confessed that he never wanted to give a role to Jackson, as a "crackhead" anyway.

As he tells the New York Daily News: "I don't even see where Samuel fits into my life story anyway, unless he plays one of the crackheads. He was a
crackhead originally, right?
So I come from being a rapper, and he comes from being a crackhead."

The rapper, who has just finished filming his semi-biographic movie, also revealed that the experience was kind of 'weird' for him, because he remembered the incident when he was shot on the back seats of his car, in Queens, May 2000.

Referring to the actual filming of the movie scenes, the rapper reveals: "It was eerie lying on the operating table. The shooting sequence in the movie wasn't the same as what happened to me, and I was more focused on the physical aspect of it, making it look real.

When it happened for real, I wasn't conscious by the time I got to the operating table, I was already under anesthetic. So lying there still and awake for eight hours while they shot the scene with the actors pretending to be surgeons standing around me that was weird."
