According to information delivered by 50 Cent via Real 92.3’s Big Boy’s Neighborhood , Eminem turned down a $9 million offer to perform at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

By the way, the show offer in question included the Eminem-50 Cent duo, while eight million would have gone to Slim Shady and the other million to Fifty.

50 Cent would have been a million dollars richer if his longtime bandmate had accepted the generous offer.

The reason the World Cup organization approached the two rappers was because of the huge success during their monster performance at Super Bowl 2022 with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar.

WithEm’s rejection, the World Cup turned to the Black Eyed Peas, among others, to complete its panel of artists who performed in Qatar.

It is important to note that 50 Cent does not know exactly why Eminem refused this kind of adventure, but we must admit that the rapper from Detroit does not often go out to perform.

We can also imagine that it was a political decision on the part of Marshall Matters.

Let’s also take the opportunity to mention that 50 Cent and Eminem are developing a series that is the sequel to 8 Mile, the movie that was partly inspired by the life of Eminem.
