50 Cent has shared an unexpected update about Eminem’s next album, revealing why the Detroit rapper abandoned plans for the upcoming Street Fighter soundtrack.
During the film’s premiere, the hip-hop mogul confirmed that his longtime friend initially intended to contribute music to the project. However, Eminem reportedly changed course to concentrate on recording his next studio album.
50 Cent, who also appears in Street Fighter, smiled while discussing Eminem’s decision, seemingly aware that he was revealing previously undisclosed information.
The announcement has renewed anticipation surrounding Eminem’s next musical chapter, although the Grammy-winning artist has not publicly confirmed the project.
Eminem released his latest studio album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), in July 2024. The project explored his complicated relationship with the controversial Slim Shady persona.
Neither Eminem nor his representatives have announced a release date, title, or featured artists for another album.

The Street Fighter soundtrack would have offered another collaboration between two influential figures in hip-hop.
Their friendship dates back to the early 2000s, when Eminem helped introduce 50 Cent to mainstream audiences through Shady Records.
Alongside Dr. Dre, the rappers established a musical partnership that produced several memorable recordings.
Eminem also shares a significant musical connection with late hip-hop legend 2Pac.
In 2004, Eminem produced several tracks for 2Pac’s posthumous album, Loyal to the Game, including its title track.
The project demonstrated Em’s admiration for the influential West Coast rapper, who died in September 1996.
Meanwhile, Slim Shady has attracted criticism over reports of a forthcoming collaboration with Kid Rock.
Their differing political positions have prompted debate among listeners, particularly given Eminem’s previous criticism of President Donald Trump.
Despite the controversy, attention remains focused on Em’s next release.
For now, 50 Cent’s revelation suggests the Detroit superstar is prioritizing new music over his planned Street Fighter soundtrack appearance.
