50 Cent reveals he cried during Eminem daughter’s wedding
50 Cent cover story has recently appeared on Haulte Living. In the interview, Fiddy revealed what he told to Eminem during Hailie’s wedding, which brought him to tears.
“I wish I had a daughter. I do. I wish I had a daughter. I wish I had that father-daughter relationship. For female children, their dad is the first man they fall in love with. Male children go to their mom; I’m a mama’s boy myself.” said 50 Cent during Haulte Living’s June Zoom session.
Then he continued: “Hailie’s wedding was unbelievable, the wildest thing for me, period. I was like, ‘Yo, bro, this is crazy. We’re getting old. Your baby is grown. What the f–k is going on?’ I was having a moment myself over there. I told Em, ‘You said it was OK to cry, because I’m crying.’ I couldn’t believe it went that fast.”
Then he explains that he’s been trying to get Eminem on tour for years, but the Detroit-born rapper was adamant that he couldn’t until Hailie had grown up: “That was the difference between my experience and Em’s. I could always go out on the road, but with Hailie, it was different. Like if she’s looking at you and she doesn’t want you to leave and you go ‘no, I’ve got to work.’ And she says but really, do you have to go?’ ‘OK, maybe I don’t have to go.’ If that was the case, things might have changed for me.”
“Em was saying that he didn’t want to go everywhere in the world where I went. I would say to him that people would pay a gazillion dollars to see us on tour together, all kinds of money to see him perform. And he still did not care about that, because the most expensive thing that we have is time, and he was conscious of being there for Hailie growing up. But now that she has officially fled the nest, it’s time. We should be on the run now; the kids are grown.” 50 Cent added.
Fif also talked about his success after signing to Eminem’s Shady Records: “I had the largest debut hip-hop album in history as I came in. I sold 13 million records, and then the Em heated up. I was blessed to have him around, because while I’m selling 13 million records of Get Rich or Die Tryin’, he’s selling 23 million records of The Marshall Mathers LP. There was always a possibility for growth, a way to tap into something that could be even bigger. When your head gets so big that it can’t even fit through the door, you have someone around that can help balance that because they’ve had even greater success. Like, we had Dr. Dre around, and he had even more success than both me and Em long before we came in, so it kept everybody in our crew level-headed.”
