50 Cent has been released from hospital.

The "In Da Club" rapper is "doing fine" after being treated for minor back and neck injuries following a car accident yesterday morning in New York. A spokesperson for the 36-year-old star - whose real name is Curtis Jackson - said in a statement, "Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson was involved in a car accident in New York early Tuesday morning. He was taken to New York Hospital Queens where he was treated for minor neck and back injuries. He was released this morning and is doing fine."

The "Candy Shop" hitmaker's SUV - which was being driven by someone else - collided with a truck in the early hours of Tuesday morning on the Long Island Expressway. Bruce Miller, who was driving the rapper's car, suffered "minor" injuries and has been released along with 50.
