50 Cent getting in da game
Multiplatinum-selling rapper reveals he's working on an upcoming game which will feature label-mates Eminem and Dr. Dre.
During an interview on San Francisco Bay Area radio station KMEL Monday night, 50 Cent revealed that he's working on an upcoming video game. Although the multiplatinum hip-hop star didn't mention a title or release date, 50 Cent did say that he will be featured in the game, along with fellow Aftermath artists Eminem, Dr. Dre, and G-Unit (who are members of his group).
One interesting tidbit the "In Da Club" rapper also let slip was that the game would be a "Grand Theft Auto-style" action title. This description may add fuel to the rumors that swirled earlier this year that 50 Cent's mentor and label-mate Eminem was collaborating with Rockstar Games. In a breach of contract lawsuit filed against Eminem by L.A.-based Conspiracy Games in July, Conspiracy CFO Keith Tanaka accused Eminem of reneging on a deal with his company in order to work with the Grand Theft Auto developers. "We were not aware of any problems until we started getting some press on our new product," said Tanaka. "Then we started hearing rumors about Eminem negotiating a better deal with Rockstar Games." Could the game 50 Cent referred to be that project?
