Rapper 50 Cent could be a million dollars richer… if it wasn’t for his buddy Eminem.
The ‘In Da Club’ hitmaker has revealed that the duo received a staggering $9 million for his or her performance on the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Appearance on Program Real 92.3 Big Boy’s NeighborhoodJackson revealed that the pair were approached after their successful performance on the 2022 Super Bowl.
They were joined by Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar and Anderson .Paak for a night filled with nostalgic hits.
50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, said the rapper from “Lose Yourself” would receive many of the $8 million money and would pocket $1 million in the event that they agreed to Qatar’s generous offer.

But after talking to Eminem’s representatives, Jackson said, “They are saying, ‘He isn’t going to do it.’ In the event you were to do a one-off show, possibly you’d do the largest live sporting event on the planet.”
After missing the chance, BTS’s Jung Kook, Black Eyed Peas and J Balvin eventually signed as an alternative.
While it’s unclear why rapper “The Real Slim Shady” declined to take part in the enterprise, countless controversies have plagued the organization of the event in Qatar.
The Middle Eastern country has found itself at the middle of protests against discrimination against women and the LGBTQ+ community.

This comes as Jackson and Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, revealed on Friday that they’re within the strategy of developing an “8-mile” TV show.
“We’re on the move,” the “Many Men” rapper said. “It should be big… You realize I have no duds.”
“8 Mile” tells the story of an up-and-coming rapper – played by Eminem – in Detroit who’s attempting to launch a profession. Since its release, the soundtrack has dominated the billboard charts.
