In a surprising move, rapper Eminem has reportedly turned down an offer of $8 million dollars to perform at the World Cup with 50 Cent. The news comes as a shock to many fans, who had been eagerly anticipating the collaboration between two of hip-hop's biggest stars. The proposed performance was set to take place during the opening ceremony of the tournament in Qatar on November 21st. It is believed that the pair were offered an astronomical sum for their services, but have decided against taking part in what would have been one of the most high-profile gigs of their careers. 50 Cent took to Instagram to confirm that he and Eminem had rejected the offer, writing: "My brother @eminem and I appreciate all offers but we will not be performing at this year’s World Cup". He also thanked his fans for their support and wished them luck in their own endeavors. This isn't the first time that Eminem has declined a lucrative offer; he famously turned down an invitation from President Donald Trump to perform at his inauguration back in 2017. He has also made it clear that he does not want his music used for political purposes or events which he does not personally endorse. Eminem's decision not to perform at this year's World Cup may come as a disappointment for some fans, but it is yet another example of him standing up for what he believes in and refusing to compromise his principles – even when faced with huge sums of money.
