50 Cent won his first Emmy award on Saturday (September 3) at the 2022 Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards for his performance at the Super Bowl LVI Pepsi Halftime Show.
Fif, along with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, and Mary J. Blige, won three awards at the show, including Outstanding Variety Special (Live), Outstanding Music Direction and Outstanding Production Design for a Variety Special (Area).
After his big night, 50 Cent took to Instagram to show love to Eminem, writing, "@eminem is the man. He wouldn’t do the show with out me that’s my boy !"
This comes after N.O.R.E. revealed that Eminem wouldn't perform at the Super Bowl Halftime Show without 50 Cent. He explained, "I said to JAY-Z, I have to ask this straight up, ‘Who is gonna perform at the NFL?’ He said to me — and I’m sorry for everybody who don’t understand — and he said, ‘The white guy called for 50 Cent. I said, ‘Who is the white guy? Jimmy Iovine?’ And he said, ‘No, Eminem called directly for 50 and he said I can’t do it if I can’t bring 50 with me.'”
