50 Cent has built a career on confidence, sharp wit, and stage presence — but even he admits there’s one critic he can’t escape: his own son.
During a recent live interview, the rapper and producer shared a moment that had the audience in stitches. “My son told me, ‘Dad, Em’s funnier than you,’” 50 said, laughing as the crowd instantly broke into applause. “I said, ‘Wait — you mean Marshall? The same guy who wears hoodies in July?’”
The Call That Took the Joke Even Further
Not one to let a punchline go, 50 said he immediately called Eminem to share the story. “I told him, ‘Yo, my kid thinks you’re cooler than me.’ And Em didn’t even hesitate — he just said, ‘He’s right.’”
The audience erupted all over again as 50 reenacted Eminem’s signature deadpan delivery. “I couldn’t even argue,” he said. “That’s my brother. He’s been making people laugh, cry, and everything in between since 8 Mile. If my kid thinks he’s cooler, I get it.”
A Perfect On-Screen Moment
The story didn’t end there. 50 revealed that about a week later, he and Eminem were on a video call when his son happened to walk into the room. “‘Em goes, ‘Hey, little man,’ and I said, ‘You hear that? That’s your second favorite rapper!’”
The crowd roared with laughter, applauding the playful comeback.
More Than a Friendship — A Brotherhood
Beyond the jokes, 50’s story showcased the lasting bond between him and Eminem — a friendship shaped through years of collaboration, touring, and mutual support. “We’ve been through everything — from studios to stages,” 50 said. “He’s family. If my son thinks he’s cooler, that just means I’ve got good taste in friends.”
And just before stepping off stage, 50 delivered one final playful jab:
“But let’s keep one thing straight — I still dress better than Em.”
Once again, the audience burst into laughter and applause — proof that whether he’s being teased by his son or trading jokes with Eminem, 50 Cent knows how to turn any moment into entertainment gold.
