At that moment, 50 Cent only saw a gigantic tour and millions on the table. Eminem was thinking about something money couldn’t give back to him: the years of his daughter’s childhood 🥹
50 said he tried to convince his friend to go on tour together because he was sure it would be one of the biggest in the world. To him, turning down an opportunity like that made no sense. He even admitted that he thought Eminem had gone crazy when he explained that he preferred to stay home rather than come back one day and discover that Hailie had grown up while he was away.
Years went by before he received another invitation, this time very different: Hailie was getting married. When he arrived at the wedding and saw her as an adult, he finally understood what Eminem had been trying to explain to him so long ago.
50 then approached his friend and recalled that conversation. “Do you remember when you told me that? I understand it all now”, he confessed.
The tour could have made them a lot of money, but Eminem had chosen something he couldn’t do over later. When 50 saw that little girl turned into a bride, he understood that his friend simply didn’t want to miss the journey leading up to that day.
