Meanwhile, 50 has announced plans to bring the 2002 feature drama “8 Mile” to TV, with Eminem involved. As you know, the hip-hop icon starred in the original film that follows a white rapper and his attempt to launch a career in hip-hop.

“I’m gonna bring 8 Mile to television,” Fif told Big Boy in an interview. “We’re in motion.

In related news, in a new interview with Real 92.3’s Big Boy’s Neighborhood radio show, 50 revealed that he and Em were offered $9 million to perform at the 2022 Qatar Word Cup but the Detroit rapper turned it down, PEOPLE reports.

“Because of the Super Bowl, I got an inquiry about World Cup and they had a budget of $9 million,” said 50 Cent about his appearance at the 2022 Super Bowl halftime show. “I would’ve taken one [million] and then the other eight [million] would have been for him.”

When he had a conversation with Eminem’s team about the possible performance, they were not as enthusiastic about it.

“They’re like, ‘He’s not gonna do it,'” recalled 50 Cent. “If you would do a one-off show, maybe you would do the biggest live sporting event in the world.”
