50 Cent on Why Eminem Nixed a Potential Joint Tour With Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg

Throughout his career, Eminem has proven to be a doting father to his daughter Hailie. And during a recnt interview with Big Boy, 50 Cent claims that Em’s role as a father might have cost him and his friends a massive payday.

“We could’ve went on tour. Me, Em, [Dr. Dre], [Snoop Dogg],” 50 says at about the 30-minute mark of the interview. “You do not believe how much money we would’ve made. And Em was like—there was so many dates at the time that we laid it out—that he was like, ‘I just don’t want to go on tour and come back and Hailie’s grown.'” 50 estimates that the tour could have collectively netted them “over $100 million.”

After discussing the potential tour with his mentors, 50 touched on the downfall of his “son,” 6ix9ine. In 50’s eyes, 6ix9ine aligned himself with too many people who didn’t have his best interests at heart.

“He was going from set to set,” 50 says at the conversation’s 43-minute mark. “While doing that with the momentum of the music and not making the separation because he was right where he was from… he realized that they would go. Like, if you say you are going to give them the money, they’re going. That was making him feel confident enough to tell people from LA—where it’s culturally grown from—when they say ‘You need to check in’ he was like ‘I ain’t checking in nowhere… He kind of took Shotti and them for a ride because he was a smart kid. Don’t think that he was completely unaware.” 50 went on to say that contrary to public perception, 6ix9ine never had his phone number and they only spoke about topics related to the music business.

It wouldn’t be a true 50 Cent interview if he didn’t touch on his laundry list of beefs. The rapper claims his issues with Young Buck stem from a relationship Buck had with a transexual.

“You know what happened with Buck, he had a relationship with someone for a year or two. A transexual,” 50 explained. “And when that came out publicly, he didn’t know how to communicate with me about it. He wasn’t ready for that to come out… Because he went in defense mode and started attacking me.” 50 also went into depth about his feud with producer Randall Emmett. 

“Big, [Randall Emmett] owed me a million dollars for six years,” 50 said. “He was presenting himself as a partner when he wasn’t in a financial situation where he could partner with me. He’s getting a salary out of the profits but we look and see that there’s a million-three that was made. Off the rip we got to get that money back.” 50 then transitioned into his longstanding beef with Rick Ross. 

“Ross—and certain artists—they will say things about 50 Cent and that will generate their energy… Their whole career has been based on that. So, it’s not a surprise that they tried to do this to continue their relevance,” 50 said. “I’m looking going, ‘Good luck, because you’re trying to sell a CD at the present moment and I’m not trying to sell music.’ I’m over here. I just sold a television show to Fox, yesterday.”

Speaking of his move into production, now that Power has come to an end, 50 has been open about his desire to work with Disney/Marvel. He reiterated his interest in directing a superhero movie to Big Boy and his co-hosts. “[Marvel] hasn’t missed,” 50 said when asked his opinion on the studio’s work. “I can bring a twist and style to it. Give it an edge… It doesn’t matter [which movie I direct] because they all win.”
