50 Cent made his return to Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday (September 16) to promote his upcoming Black Mafia Family series. Eminem, who has a role as “White Boy Rick” in an episode on the show, was brought up and 50 talked about how he had to “put pressure on him” to join the show.
The Queens legend believes Eminem had a “terrible experience” while filming 2002’s 8 Mile and that ruined what could’ve been a lucrative Hollywood career for Slim Shady.
“I think he had a terrible experience on the 8 Mile project because he didn’t want to go back ever again,” he thought. “There was a period Hollywood would offer me things to get him. Then his agent would go, ‘Yeah, this is good. Give it to 50 and let 50 take it.’
“Projects that are offering $8 million to do it and he’ll look at it and go, ‘I just think that we should do Warriors. I’m like, ‘Did you miss the $8 million?’ It didn’t move him at all and then he’d go, ‘Let’s just go record records.'”
Snoop Dogg is also part of the Black Mafia Family cast in the role of a pastor. 50 reflected on trying to get him to stop smoking weed while on set, which didn’t go over too well with the West Coast deity.
“You can’t get him to stop smoking weed,” 50 asserted. “I went to the trailer and I was like, ‘Just chill.’ He’s like, ‘Get out of here, it’s legal, 50!’ He was really conflicted by me asking him to stop smoking weed. He was like, ‘Why you want to mess up my day?'”

Em is just a rapper. None of all the fame bullshit
you a dumbass bud
Why you 2 dumbasses disagreeing with him for,em dosent like the lime lights and thats a well documented fact,he could probably be jay-z rich if he really wanted but hundreds of millions is enugh and he just wanna focus on the music
Fucking dumb ass
Snoop cant even show some respect to 50 and stop smoking on the set? That’s not even a big deal bro. Smoke it outside and come back
Respect to 50? Fuck 50 ?
He said he was smoking in his trailer, not actually on the ‘set’ itself.
In the industry “on set” includes the everything at the filming location…
Lots of big Hollywood are drunk and coked up on set all the time so I don’t see the problem. I know when you smoke too much it can mess with productivity etc. but wtf do you expect hiring Snoop lmao
*Hollywood actors
At least show some respect to your boss, that homie bs is for another time. I’ve smoked weed longer than snoop, and I don’t get how him or other mfs smoke all day anyway.
To act professional, there’s a time and place for everything. Mfs don’t get that you can only get so high. If he can’t stop to make a movie 50 gave him a chance in, it’s really disrespectful. And he show’s he really has a problem.
Man, I’m lookin forward to that Eminem/50 Cent Versus battle. Shits gonna be epic as fuk. Cut the check Triller.

I think Em.said filming 8 Mile made his drug use leap cuz he was on so many pills keeping up with the brutal schedule.
