\n\t50 Cent<\/a> is never one to mince words, and he may have spilled the beans surrounding Eminem\u2019s<\/a> next album. While doing an interview at the Los Angeles premiere of Street Fighter<\/a> on Monday (Oct. 12), 50 revealed that Em pulled out of working on the movie\u2019s soundtrack to focus on his album.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cEm, he put a couple pieces together for it and decided because he got closer to his album, he kinda fell back on that because he\u2019s preparing his presentation for the next album,\u201d 50 told The Associated Press<\/a> of his close friend with a sly smile.<\/p>\n

\n\tBillboard has reached out to Eminem\u2019s reps for comment.<\/p>\n

\n\tBack in December, 50 promised to recruit<\/a> Eminem for the Street Fighter soundtrack, and then the G-Unit mogul sent the hip-hop community into a frenzy when he teased a posthumous collab <\/a>with 2Pac <\/a>alongside Slim and himself in July.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI got some music that I\u2019m working on. I did something currently me, Eminem and 2Pac,\u201d he told Today With Jenna & Sheinelle at the time. \u201cThey delivered it. It\u2019s for the theme of\u00a0Street Fighter, the movie. We worked on it and got it right.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHowever, the dreamy collaboration could be shelved or possibly land on Eminem\u2019s new album. Details about the project remain scarce. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe Detroit legend\u2019s last album came out in July 2024 with The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Gr\u00e2ce), which topped the Billboard 200, <\/a>earning 281,000 total album-equivalent units, according to Luminate. Eminem is still sharpening his lyrical sword, as he clashed with Shady Records signee Ez Mil on \u201cMadara\u201d <\/a>earlier in October.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs for 50 Cent, the \u201cIn Da Club\u201d rapper is set to play Balrog<\/a> in the Street Fighter reboot, which stars Jason Momoa, Noah Centineo,\u00a0Andrew Koji,\u00a0Callina Liang,\u00a0Joe \u201cRoman Reigns\u201d Anoa\u2019i,\u00a0David Dastmalchian,\u00a0Cody Rhodes,\u00a0Eric Andr\u00e9 and comedian Andrew Schulz. The live-action film arrives in theaters on Friday (Oct. 16). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"50 Cent is never one to mince words, and he may have spilled the beans surrounding Eminem\u2019s next…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":629522,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[156,2526,157,3296,111,139,69,7184],"class_list":["post-629521","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-genre-hiphop","tag-music","tag-music-news","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-tv-film"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629521","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=629521"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/629521\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/629522"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=629521"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=629521"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=629521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
