Meanwhile, 50 Cent went on admiring the ‘Till I Collapse’ rapper. “He still didn't lose his cool. He's still the biggest rap artist in the world," he said.
The P.I.M.P singer further shared, “I compared him to my grandparents only because my grandmother raised me. I put Em in that space. When people help you when you can't help yourself, it resonates the strongest, and Em put me on. So he's my guy forever. I don't care.”
“He's still in that pocket. He's still doing the same thing, still drilling it, still number one, still highest selling. He can still do it. He can still hold it,” 50 Cent said, praising Eminem’s commitment to music.
“That's because he never stopped. He stayed right there. When I started looking at film and television and other areas to pivot, he stayed right in a recording studio recording," 50 Cent said.
