According to 50 Cent, the Detroit rapper turned down a lucrative offer to perform at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
50 claimed on Real 92.3’s “Big Boy’s Neighborhood” that he and Eminem were offered $9 million for the gig at the international soccer tournament in Qatar. 50 stated that he would have accepted $1 million, with Em receiving the remaining $8 million.
“Because of the Super Bowl, I received an inquiry about the World Cup, and they had a $9 million budget,” he revealed. “I would have taken one, and the other eight would have gone to him.”
He discussed it with Eminem’s manager, Paul Rosenberg, but Em appeared uninterested despite the large payoff. “They’re like, he’s not going to do it,” 50 recalled, adding, “If you want to do a one-time show, maybe do the biggest live sporting event in the world.”
Later in the interview, the hip-hop mogul revealed that he is working on a television reboot of Eminem’s 8 Mile, which he described as a “modern version” akin to “The Fresh Prince of Bel- Air’s” reimagined version.
“It’s going to be big. I’m at work. I don’t have any duds. “I’m battin’ a hunnid,” 50 explained.
