In a recent interview with Haute Living, rapper 50 Cent opened up about an emotional experience he had at the wedding of Hailie Jade, the daughter of his close friend and longtime collaborator, Eminem. During the candid conversation, 50 Cent revealed how deeply the event affected him, sharing that he wished he had a daughter to experience the same bond he witnessed between Eminem and Hailie.

“I told Eminem, ‘I wish I had a daughter, I do. I wish I had that father-daughter relationship,’” 50 Cent recalled. He expressed his emotional reaction to the wedding, explaining how female children often share a unique connection with their fathers, while male children tend to gravitate toward their mothers. “I’m a mama’s boy myself,” the rapper added.

As he reflected on the surreal nature of the occasion, 50 Cent also highlighted how the moment hit him hard, not just as a friend, but as a parent. “Hailie’s wedding was unbelievable. The wildest thing for me, period. I told Eminem, ‘Yo, bro, this is crazy—we’re getting old. Your baby is grown,’” 50 Cent shared, admitting that he was moved to tears by the event.

Eminem’s understanding response only deepened the emotional moment between the two rap icons. “You said it was okay to cry because I’m crying,” 50 Cent remembered telling Eminem.

This touching revelation offers fans a rare glimpse into the softer, more reflective side of 50 Cent. Known for his tough persona in the music world, his words about longing for a father-daughter connection reveal a deeper, more personal side of the rapper. It serves as a reminder that even the hardest personalities have tender emotions and desires.
