50 Cent lost out on a big check — because his buddy Eminem wasn&#8217;t interested in a joint performance at the 2022 World Cup.

In a new interview with Real 92.3&#8217;s Big Boy&#8217;s Neighborhood show, the 47-year-old &#8220;I Get Money&#8221; rapper said he and Slim Shady were offered a total of $9 million to perform at the Qatar-hosted sporting event, but the 50-year-old &#8220;Without Me&#8221; performer didn&#8217;t want to do it.

&#8220;Because of the Super Bowl, I got an inquiry about World Cup and they had a budget of $9 million,&#8221; said 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson III, recalling his appearance at the 2022 Super Bowl halftime show with Eminem, Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar and Anderson .Paak. &#8220;I would&#8217;ve taken one [million] and then the other eight [million] would have been for him.&#8221;
He then had a conversation with Eminem&#8217;s team about the idea. &#8220;They&#8217;re like, &#8216;He&#8217;s not gonna do it,'&#8221; recalled 50 Cent. &#8220;If you would do a one-off show, maybe you would do the biggest live sporting event in the world.&#8221;
