50 is that one friend that everyone wishes would have. He's so loyal.

[peterhernandez]

Always will respect the loyalty between Fif and Em. It goes beyond race or wealth. It's about the love for your brother.

[NoLyinEvrysDyin]

I think 50 and Eminem both saved each othr in a way. They will forever be grateful for each other.

[mosesbridgelal]

The way 50 looks out for Em is a Rare trait not a lot of people have they homie back like that I got one friend who has my back like that an I consider myself blessed 💯✌🏻

[kaz]

Damn you can literally hear the addiction and depression in his voice

[_birdie]

50 didn’t just cover by helping w the questions, he even tried to make jokes and get the audience hyped to cover for the awkwardness.

But just in general- I’m always floored by the loyalty btwn those two.

[StanleyMalbroughRoninHD]

Eminem- Just starts talking vaguely about performing.
Crowd- 👏👏👏👏

[JoelHernandez-ylyw]

He was rambling 😮 glad 50 was there to help him.

[parthkalia]

Eminem is a legend he thank God he got sober when he went into the hospital in 2005 we thought we lost a legend but thank God he went to rehab and is now 14 years sober and thanks to Elton John for helping him

[DasherBeats]

It’s obvious how hurt he was after Proof was killed. He’s wearing his shirt here. Everybody needs a friend like 50 who will cover for you while you recover.

[camronshean]

Eminem's 1999 song Brain Damage almost became a reality for him

[johntimmermans]

I respect Em's strength and courage to accept, acknowledge and admit the struggle, AND then overcome this.
R.I.P. DeShaun Holton AKA BIg Proof 🙌🏽
R.I.P. Bugs 🙌🏽

Fif and Em have such a unique, rare relationship it's crazy. You don't take that for granted.

[furytarzan]

That was actually nice of fifty to back him up

[bppumplife]

You can tell Fif is just trying to wait to help him out during this time I love the loyalty they have for each other

[DaytonJoey]

I love Eminem. I’ve been clean six years. Midwest stand up!

[MrFlixdrd]

I always go back to this interview. So much love and loyalty

[Fknheck]

Bro the way he literally didn’t answer the question at all😂 and they all started cheering cuz he said some words😂😂 “one of the hosts was talking and I couldn’t understand a word she was saying”

[dontaewilkerson]

The mid 2000's must have been an extremely dark period in ems life. I remember listening to a snippet of his interview on juicewrld last album. Shit is scary. Glad bro cleaned up.

[gaspuno]

Eminem used to be so energetic and naturally funny during TV guest appearances like on TRL and MTV News and to see this is pretty sad. Damn. Happy he’s doing great now.
