50 Cent Reflects on ‘Wild’ First Meeting With Eminem in a Bulletproof Vest

50 Cent has reflected on the first time he met Eminem, which he described as "wild." See the rest of what he recalled.

50 sat down with the hosts of Million Dollaz Worth of Game over the weekend and took a trip down memory lane to recall his first encounter with Eminem, which he described as “wild.” The Queens legend even wore his signature bulletproof vest, as he wasn’t going to be taking any chances on the West Coast. The G-Unit honcho couldn’t process how excited Em was to meet him and potentially collaborate while he was already dominating the industry and coming off the fresh release of his iconic The Marshall Mathers LP. “In Da Club” arrived in January 2003 and set the stage for 50 Cent to make the quantum leap to superstardom with his Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ album in February 2003.
