50 Cent said he was saddened by the fatal shooting at a cinema where his movie Get Rich Or Die Tryin' was playing.
“I feel for the victim's family in this situation,” 50 Cent said today.
“But you know, these weren't kids. This was a 30-year-old man who had a dispute with three other guys.”
Shelton Flowers, 30, was shot at least three times on Wednesday night after he got into an argument with another man inside a Loews multiplex just east of Pittsburgh.
Allegheny County police said Flowers had just watched 50 Cent's movie and got into a confrontation with three men in the toilets.
A fight ensued and spilled out into the concessions area, where Flowers was shot, police said.
No one has been arrested.
It was not known what movie the three men had seen, but John McCauley, the vice president of marketing for Loews Corp, said the company decided to stop showing it at the theatre during the investigation.
