This, however, isn’t the first time 50 Cent has confirmed that he has been in the studio with Dr. Dre. A year ago, he made a similar statement during an interview with Big Boy’s Neighbourhood.
He recalled that soon after he made that statement, he received a text from Eminem to the effect that Dr. Dre was already prepared for the collaboration.
Dr. Dre, meanwhile, pulled a surprise during the celebration of 50 Cent’s birthday in London when he turned 48 years old. In attendance were Tony Yayo, Jimmy Iovine, and Paul Rosenberg. They met up at a Somali restaurant called The Village, and the birthday man consequently shared a video from the evening on his Instagram page.
In the clip, the group posed for a photo together before 50 Cent joked, “Everybody, please, could you stop taking my picture?” In the caption, he added: “Yeah man the guys came to see me for my birthday at this cool spot in London called the village.”
On the night of Sunday, July 9, 2023, 50 Cent was in London to perform at the Wireless Festival, which came ahead of his upcoming Final Lap Tour scheduled for July 21 of the same year.
His aforementioned Final Lap Tour will commemorate the 20th anniversary of his debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin’. Dre produced several songs on the iconic project including In Da Club, If I Can’t and Back Down.
