Juvenile Says He Helped 50 Cent Sign With Eminem’s Shady Records

Overview

• In a new interview with Nyla Symone, Juvenile claims he played a key role in connecting 50 Cent to Eminem’s camp for the Shady Records deal.
• He says 50 Cent, Tony Yayo, and Lloyd Banks recorded on his tour bus because studios in New York were unwilling to host 50 after his shooting.
• Juvenile recounts bringing Sha Money XL to a D12 video set in New York, pitching that 50’s diss-heavy style would align with Eminem’s output.
• He adds that 50 Cent credited him in a book, though he did not specify which title, and outlets report they have sought comment from 50’s team.
• The claim revisits the lead-up to 50 Cent’s 2002 Shady signing and the subsequent success of Get Rich or Die Tryin’, with coverage also noting Young Buck’s path from UTP to G-Unit.
