“See You Again,” arguably one of the biggest songs of 2015, was turned down by Eminem and 50 Cent.
During an interview on Boomer & Carton’s radio show from September, 50 Cent revealed that he and Eminem were offered “See You Again,” which went on to feature Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth, but had to turn down the Furious 7 record because of Eminem’s involvement with the Southpaw soundtrack.
“At the time we [Eminem and I] had to make a decision between doing that and the song for Fast & Furious. And that record [‘See You Again’] was a huge success for Wiz Khalifa and them. He decided to do Southpaw because he was invested in the project,” 50 Cent said.
In the time since its release, Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth’s record has obtained a number of accolades. Most recently, “See You Again” was nominated for a Grammy for Song Of The Year.
Additionally, the music video for “See You Again” serves as the first rap song to reach over one billion views on YouTube.
Eminem served as executive producer of the Southpaw soundtrack. The album was released last summer and features songs from Eminem, 50 Cent, Slaughterhouse, The Weeknd, and a number of other artists.

So I guess 50 was going to sing the hook smh I love that nigga and that would have been my favorite song
“…Additionally, the music video for “See You Again” serves as the first rap song to reach over one billion views on YouTube…”
Man…a song with that soft ass slow singing should not be considered a rap song.
That song was almost as shitty as the movie. Least talented cast ever
I agree. Horrible movie. Ok song. The taste of these new hip hop fans is so simple and plan these days.
50 takes yet another L
50 is the king of L’s
That’s Nas all day. Nas is probably collecting his next L right now as we speak, and we don’t even know it.
Wrong.
Hoe, how nas take L’s and he been in the game 20+ yrs w/ a catalog. Ya new Niggas can’t even stay relevant pass 1 album. Don’t eva disrespect the few legends we have left dumbass. Always the non musical Niggas talkin shit they don’t know about. Must be a young Nugga!!
Eminem was probably offered it. I highly doubt 50 Cent was actually offered a spot on the song and turned it down. 50 Cent doesn’t pass on anything………. he’s so desperate for attention , im sure he would have said YESSSS to the offer immediately.
He is desperate for a hit. lol
So true, 50 would sell his ass for a hit record, nigga has done songs with every hot producer in the south he’s so desparate
True………….I can see that. lol
Join the discussion
Well 50 don’t need a hit record he still buffed and can do some modeling I can’t wait to see him in those friego underwear
He-bitch closet fag
Unless the hook was already on it then it wouldnt have been the same song with 50 & Em on it. I don’t see why they couldn’t do both tho.
NAA!!!! EMINEM GETS FUCKED IN THE ASS ON 9/10ths OF HIS TRACKS. THATS ONLY ONE NUMBER AWAY FROM 9/11!!!!!
