“I’m a special case and situation,” 50 Cent said at the time. “It’s also because of the leverage of having the strong relationships with Eminem and Dr. Dre. They don’t want to me to be uncomfortable. They value our friendship to the point that they would never want [to jeopardize] it over that little bit of money.”
Eminem and 50 Cent have collaborated on several songs, including “Patiently Waiting” and “Don’t Push Me.”
