After Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre’s Missionary collab album, it seems like we might have another full-length link-up from that family tree on the way. Moreover, 50 Cent has now responded to Eminem’s recent comments about being down for a team-up LP via a new Instagram post. However, he made it clear that he wants to get one thing done first before hitting up the studio with Marshall Mathers for an extended period of time. “Looks like I’ll be back in the booth after all !” Fif shared on Instagram on Thursday (December 26). “Just gotta do this residency in Vegas first.”
“That would be great,” Eminem said of a potential 50 Cent collab album on his Shade 45 radio station for Christmas Day. “We just gotta stop bullsh*tting and do it. I would never say it’s not possible.” Previously, the Detroit lyricist expressed his wishes for the G-Unit mogul to drop a new project, something that he previously seemed to have closed the door on. “I’m trying to get him to make a new album so bad,” he told DJ Whoo Kid earlier in 2024. “We need another 50 album, like, really bad. 50’s on a roll right now. He’s been on a roll since the tour. I told him whatever the f**k he needs from me, I’m here. That s**t’d be crazy, though. An album with me and him.”

Furthermore, it seems like 50 Cent is more than happy to get this done with Eminem, although his Vegas residency is a pretty big priority right now. It kicks off tonight (Friday, December 27) and ends on January 4.
Meanwhile, 50 Cent had previously revealed that he’s working on new music, and that Eminem already told him that Dr. Dre was cooking up some beats for him. “As soon as I said that, I got a text from [Eminem] that he had already spoke to Dre, and that Dre is in there and he got some crazy stuff for me to go hear,” he stated. “This is my process: I’ll go make something, what I can find, the best music that I can put my hands on. And when I feel real good about it, I bring it to put pressure on Dre to offer me something. ‘Cause he’ll have something… He’s always had something.”
Rumors of a 50 Cent and Eminem joint album have been floated for decades, and the “Patiently Waiting” duo added fuel to the fire this week. The G-Unit boss responded to the headlines generated by Em, with 50 claiming he’s feeling inspired to get back in the booth, but not until he’s done with his six-show Las Vegas residency first.
“Looks like I’ll be back in the booth after all ! Just gotta do this residency in Vegas first,” he wrote to social media on Friday (Dec. 27).
Busta Rhymes gave his stamp of approval in the Instagram comments by leaving multiple crown emojis. Multiple other fans chimed in, hyped up at the idea of 50 and Em joining forces for a project.
“Eminem and 50 Cent album will be straight [fire] can’t wait for it,” one person wrote on IG. Another joked, “I’ll be on YouTube live with a bulletproof vest and a g*n if this happens!”
Eminem stoked the flame when he talked to DJ Whoo Kid on SiriusXM’s Shade 45 earlier this week about the prospects of a full project with 50.
“That would be great,” he said. “We just gotta stop bulls–tting and just do it. I would never say it’s not possible, what the f–k?!”
Earlier in December, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre invited Em and 50 for guest appearances on their Missionary album, as the rep dignitaries collided for “Gunz N Smoke.”
In the past, 50 and Slim Shady have teamed up for tracks such as “Patiently Waiting,” “Crack a Bottle,” “Don’t Push Me” and many more.
50 has six shows slated for PH Live at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas from Dec. 27 through Jan. 4, and then it could be time to turn the page to working with Em and make 2025 another year to remember in rap.
