The feds are investigating whether a Queens drug kingpin targeted Jam Master Jay for death because the deejay defied an industry "blacklist" of rapper 50 Cent, according to a newly released court document.
The drug dealer, Kenneth (Supreme) McGriff, had feuded with 50 since 2000, when the chart-topping rapper released a song called "Ghetto Koran" detailing the history of McGriff's "Supreme Team" drug gang.
"Messages transmitted over the [hip-hop record label] Murder Inc. pager indicate that McGriff is involved in an ongoing plot to murder this rap artist," according to Internal Revenue Service agent Francis Mace in a 2003 affidavit made public last week.
The affidavit notes that 50 Cent was shot and wounded shortly after the release of the song and was "blacklisted in the recording industry."
Mace also reveals - for the first time publicly - that the Oct. 30, 2002, murder of Jam Master Jay, the former Run-DMC deejay whose real name was Jason Mizell, may be tied to the bad blood between McGriff and 50 Cent.
"Law enforcement agents are investigating the possibility that Mizell was murdered for defying the blacklist of 50 Cent," agent Mace wrote.
No one has been charged with Mizell's killing. Mizell, 37, was gunned down by masked gunmen who burst into his 24-7 recording studio in downtown Jamaica.
McGriff is currently facing multiple murder charges in Brooklyn Federal Court.
Next month, Murder Inc. founder Irving (Irv Gotti) Lorenzo and his brother Chris go on trial on charges of laundering McGriff's drug cash through the record company.
