Rappers like to flex how much they are offered to play this or that gig.
But we've never heard of an offer like what Eminem would have received to play this year's World Cup. And we didn't even learn about the offer from Eminem.
According to 50 Cent, Eminem would have got $8 million to play the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. If Em would have accepted, 50 would come along a get a million.

“Because of the Super Bowl, I got an inquiry about the World Cup,” 50 Cent explained to Big Boy. “They had a budget of $ 9 million for it. I would have took one million. Then the other eight would have been for Em.”
According to 50, Eminem's manager Paul Rosenberg shot it down and he's not I'm sure it even got to Shady.
Instead, the World Cup featured Lebanese singer Myriam Fares, Colombian star Maluma, Nora Fatehi, and Calvin Harris.
