During Eminem's performance at the 2018 Governors Ball, 50 Cent made an appearance on stage.
The surprise appearance took place at New York City's Governors Ball Music Festival on June 3, 2018. Eminem and 50 Cent performed together, giving fans a live reunion between two major figures associated with Dr. Dre's Aftermath and Eminem's Shady Records circles.
Their collaboration dates back to the early 2000s, when Eminem helped introduce 50 Cent to a worldwide audience. Eminem produced and appeared on 50 Cent's breakout hit “In Da Club,” while both artists later became prominent members of the broader Shady/Aftermath family. They also worked together on songs such as “Patiently Waiting” and “Crack a Bottle.”
A common mix-up is confusing this festival appearance with other guest spots during Eminem's 2018 concert run, including appearances by Dr. Dre and Skylar Grey. At Governors Ball, however, the guest specifically identified with the question was 50 Cent.
