"I love my people but we gotta stop acting like we ain’t gone get caught up behind some stuff even if it happened a while back, karma comes back every time. Better stop acting like what goes around don’t come around."

@Garrett commented:
"He helped commit murder, yeah."
@justaboz0 said:
"He’s the supposed leader of the gang, a raco charge works this. If you ask your underlings to commit murder the leader will take the fall more than the murderer Bc he’s the leader, and he too can be charged without even killing anyone."

50 Cent claims Eminem had a bigger impact on hip-hop than Jay-Z
In other entertainment news, Legit.ng reported that 50 Cent has made it clear that Eminem is his favourite rapper. The In Da Club hitmaker apparently claimed that Eminem is bigger than Jay-Z in terms of making an impact in the rap scene.
This is not the first time the Den of Thieves actor has praised Em for his contributions to the hip-hop industry. Maybe it is because Slim Shady opened doors for him in the music business when he signed him.
Taking to Twitter, Daily Loud - a verified page that shares hip-hip news, shared a collage of Jay-Z, Eminem and 50 Cent. The entertainment handle captioned its post:
"50 Cent says Eminem has had a bigger impact on hip-hop than Jay-Z."
