Eminem has answered the question we’ve all been wondering.
No, I don’t mean the question of what his rap name really means, but if he will finally release a joint album with 50 Cent.
The rappers’ friendship dates back to the Noughties and has seen them collaborate on several songs together.

It’s not uncommon for music stars to release a whole album together, some of the biggest over the years being Kanye West and Jay-Z’s Watch the Throne, as well as Ed Sheeran with, well, nearly everyone on No.6 Collaborations Project.
In light of their decades-long friendship, a lot of people have called for Eminem and 50 Cent to create a joint album as well – and it might finally be happening.
Speaking on the Whoo’s House podcast, the 52-year-old said it would be ‘great’ to an album with the ‘Candy Shop’ rapper.
“I mean, I think that we just got to stop bull****ing and just do it,” he added.
Eminem, who is set to become a grandad for the first time next year, went on: “I would never say it’s not possible.”
As well as possibly working on an album together, the two rappers are currently in the midst of collaborating on another project.
It was revealed last year that 50 Cent and Eminem are creating a TV series version of 8 Mile.
Speaking on Big Boy TV, 50 Cent said in June 2023: “I’m gonna bring his 8 Mile to television. We’re in motion.
“It’s gonna be big. I ain’t got no duds. I’m battin’ a hundred, I’m battin’ a hundred.”
He added: “I think it should be there for his legacy because it’s important to me that they understand it.”

If the TV adaption is anything like the other TV shows the rapper has worked on (for example Power and BMF), then it’s likely to go down a storm with fans.
Eminem has actually featured on BMF and made a cameo appearance as White Boy Rick.
Discussing how the cameo came about, 50 Cent previously told Entertainment Weekly: “When Eminem found out I was directing, he committed to do it, and working together was natural.
“It was an honor to have him on the show and it made this episode extra special.”
