As he performed some of his hits at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, the singer’s selection was a bit of a surprise.
He also claims that Jay-Z’s company, Roc Nation, tried to keep him out of the show.
“They wanted to leave me out of it. They didn’t want me there,” the singer recently told the Hollywood Reporter.
It’s true that they didn’t want him there, the rapper said, adding that it was all Eminem’s doing and that he was therefore included.
“When that happens, you go, ‘Damn, so you just lost Eminem because you didn’t bring 50? Damn. All right. Bring 50 then.'”
50 Cent, who was hanging upside down like a bat during the iconic Super Bowl show, made a reference to the music video for his beloved 2003 club classic “In Da Club.”
He added: “Everybody else walked in regular, the songs still went over and they got the trophy too.”
After the rapper’s Super Bowl performance, he also received body-shaming remarks.
The rapper added: “They’re just teasing me because they know I can drop the weight.”
“Fat shaming only applies when you’re ashamed of your fat.”
50 Cent appeared as a special guest for the Super Bowl performance, with Eminem and others serving as headliners.
