50 Cent is addressing claims that his participation in the Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show was orchestrated by his longtime friend and collaborator Eminem. During Snoop Dogg's recent appearance on Drink Champs, N.O.R.E. shared that he'd heard from Jay that Eminem pushed for 50 Cent to be included in the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

“I said to Jay-Z, I have to ask this straight up, ‘Who is gonna perform at the NFL?’" N.O.R.E. shared. “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 Fifty and he said I can’t do it if I can’t bring 50 with me.’”

“Why would he have to say that should be the question? NORE Your big homie is running around trying to look like a gay painter," 50 captioned the post, mocking Jay-Z's Basquiat-esque hairstyle.

50 seemed to take issue with the insinuation that he needed an endorsement from Em, but dropped his snarky retorts and then downplayed it all. “Happy Easter ! man enjoy the holidays," he added on IG.

Does 50 Cent need an Em endorsement to land that Super Bowl gig? What do you think?
