*50 Cent revealed that Eminem was the reason he performed at the 2022 Super Bowl Halftime Show, stating, “They didn’t want me there.”

“He was not coming if I didn’t do it,” the rapper told The Hollywood Reporter in a new interview.

“They didn’t want me there,” 50 Cent said of the 2022 event. “Eminem wouldn’t do it without me. That’s how I ended up on the show because he was not coming if I didn’t do it.”

He continued, “When that happens, you go, ‘Damn, so you just lost Eminem because you didn’t bring 50? Damn. All right. Bring 50 then.’ But if it was up to them, they would not have me there.”

“I’m the surprise. I’m not on the bill at all,” 50 Cent continued. “But they couldn’t get Em to do it without me.”

Eminem said 50 Cent “is like a brother to me.”

“50 has proven again and again that there’s really nothing he can’t do, and nobody gets in the way of him getting it done,” he added.

Snoop Dogg revealed in 2022 that JAY-Z threatened to end his partnership with the NFL unless they allowed Dr. Dre to perform at the Super Bowl Halftime Show. 

The Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show was headlined by Dre, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige, Eminem, and 50 Cent. NBC’s broadcast of the event averaged 99.2 million viewers, while 1.9 million tuned in on Telemundo. The total number of viewers who watched the game across the small screen, as well as streaming and digital platforms, climbed to 112.3 million, according to Nielsen. The halftime show averaged 103.4 million viewers.

Snoop Dogg said JAY-Z, whose company Roc Nation co-produced the show, faced many challenges in getting Dre, Snoop, Eminem, Blige, and Lamar to perform at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif.

“We love each other. Like, not secretly, like publicly, we love each other,” Snoop explained during an interview with TIDAL, Rap-Up reported. “It is what it is, so it’s like for him to go to bat for us and tell the NFL, ‘F**k that. They perform or I quit,’ that was the most gangster sh*t out of everything.”
