50 Cent’s “Family Day” event which will be held in his hometown of Queens, New York has sparked fear from the community and has cops preparing for the worst. The August 30th event is expected to draw about 10,000 people, and an army of cops with plans to shut down a massive 20 block area.

The hip hop star was rumored to make an appearance at the event where he would of possibly perform on stage with other celebrity acts, New York Post sources in the New York’s Law Enforcement warn that “We can’t control the area,” noting that the performance on the grounds of PS 40 in Jamaica will be part of “an outdoor event — people could walk in from anywhere.”

“Someone’s gonna try to make a name for themselves,” another worried source added. “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.”

50 Cent’s publicist, Keesha Johnson, said he would make an appearance. Reports today from New York’s Mayor Mike Bloomberg said “Our understanding after talking with 50 Cents is he has no plans to perform whatsoever. He might go, but he’s not going to perform”. That eases police officials worries on a possible Mayhem if there were to be an actual performance.

The Family Day event is sponsored by Bette Midler’s foundatation “The New York Restoration Project” along with the G-Unity Foundation. Prior to the event 50 will bus neighborhood childen to Six Flags amusement park in New York on August 29th.
