If there’s anyone who truly understands what it’s like to be on the receiving end of 50 Cent’s fury, it’s Eminem. After all, the rap icon was instrumental in bringing 50 into the mainstream, signing him to his Shady Records imprint in 2003 and setting the stage for his meteoric rise in the music industry. From that moment on, the two formed an unbreakable alliance—one that extended far beyond music and into the world of hip-hop beef. Whenever one of them found themselves entangled in a feud, the other was never far behind, ready to launch a full-scale lyrical assault. Together, they operated like a championship tag team, strategically dismantling their rivals with razor-sharp diss tracks, brutal public callouts, and an unwavering sense of loyalty that made them one of the most formidable duos in rap history.
Their brotherhood has stood the test of time, remaining just as strong in an era where many industry relationships fade. So when Eminem made a rare public appearance to honor 50 Cent at the unveiling of his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, it was more than just a celebration of his longtime friend’s accomplishments—it was a testament to the enduring power of their bond. Standing before the crowd, Eminem didn’t just reflect on 50’s success; he also took a moment to remind everyone just how much better it is to have the G-Unit mogul as an ally rather than an adversary. Over the years, countless artists have learned the hard way that crossing 50 Cent is a dangerous game, and Eminem—having been in the trenches with him for decades—knows better than anyone that being on his side is always the wiser choice.
“I’m here today because this is not only a business partner to me, it’s one of the best friends I’ve ever known in the world,” Eminem declared, his voice filled with sincerity as he stood before the audience gathered for 50 Cent’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony. The moment was both lighthearted and deeply meaningful, as Em took a rare step into the spotlight—not to promote his own work, but to honor the man who had stood beside him through decades of triumphs, controversies, and unforgettable hip-hop history.
With the crowd hanging onto his every word, Eminem couldn’t resist throwing in a dose of humor. “And I would say that it’s much more fun to be his friend than it is to be his enemy,” he added, eliciting laughter and applause from the audience, many of whom had seen firsthand the brutal takedowns 50 had delivered to his adversaries over the years. But Em wasn’t finished. With a smirk, he leaned in for the punchline: “Because this guy is f*cking relentless, and he won’t stop.”
The crowd erupted again, fully aware of just how true those words were. From dismantling rivals with surgical precision in diss tracks to his unfiltered social media antics, 50 Cent has built a reputation for being absolutely merciless when someone crosses him. And if anyone knows this better than most, it’s Eminem—who has not only witnessed it but has often been a willing participant in the chaos.
So, there you have it: if you value your peace, it’s best to stay on 50 Cent’s good side. But let’s be honest—you all already knew that, right? Watch the clip above and relive the moment.
