50 Cent’s success over the years earned him a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in January 2020. As reported by Billboard, the “In da Club” rapper was surrounded by his mentors Eminem and Dr. Dre as he received the honor. “I don’t think my career would’ve been what it was without [Dr. Dre and Eminem’s] support,” he shared. Eminem then took the mic and stated, “Of all the things I don’t remember about 2002, I have a very clear memory of the first time I met 50. One of the first things I noticed was his presence. It just kind of felt like he was going to be a star. He was the whole package.” He went on to call 50 Cent “one of the best friends” he’s had and praised him for being there during his times of need.

50 Cent later shared the one thing Eminem did that kept him laughing. “To this day, you know what’s ill about Em? He hits me randomly,” he shared in an interview for Thisis50 (via BET). He revealed that Eminem would text him hilarious NSFW jokes that take things to “a whole ‘nother level.” 50 Cent added, “This guy, I’m always going to have a love for him. That’s my guy. The other guys, they’re not going to mean the same thing like that.” The two shared such a close bond that 50 Cent managed to rescue Eminem during one of the lowest points in his life.
