The rapper gave Eminem a major shout for putting him on a successful musical journey.

Eminem discovered 50 Cent is 2002, the same year the rapper flew to Los Angeles and recorded his first seven tracks among the 'In da Club' which later earned him number one spot on the Billboard list.

It is reported that 50 recorded his first seven tracks within five days and the records were produced by Dr. Dre.

However, with 50 now focusing more on his executive producing role and acting career, his fans could not help but ask him to release new hit songs post the pandemic, while some shared how much his first songs made them feel.

Here are some of the reactions from the fans:
