Eminem and Dr. Dre, veterans in the hip hop world, came out to show their support for their longtime friend and collaborator, 50 Cent, as he was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The event, held on Thursday, celebrated 50 Cent, born Curtis Jackson, who appeared sharp in a plaid suit over a red turtleneck sweater, paired stylishly with bright white sneakers.
Joining him were hip hop icons Dr. Dre and Eminem, both sporting matching footwear to commemorate the occasion. Eminem notably showcased a rare dark beard and wore dark clothing, including a Run DMC T-shirt, a departure from his usual appearance.
Also in attendance were 50’s “Power” co-star La La Anthony, who dazzled in a silver metallic halter dress and matching hoop earrings. The event was further graced by radio personality Ellen K, Jackson’s girlfriend Jamira Haines, and industry figures like Courtney Kemp Agboh, a writer from “Power,” and executives from Starz, the network behind the hit series.
50 Cent and La La Anthony have shared the screen on “Power” since 2014 and are rumored to collaborate on a new project titled “Intercepted.” The rapper’s early career success was propelled by Eminem, who signed him to Shady Records in 2002 under the guidance of Dr. Dre’s Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records, leading to his rise as a bestselling artist and Grammy winner.
The induction of 50 Cent into the Walk of Fame joins recent honorees like Wendy Williams, Tyler Perry, Idina Menzel, Kristen Bell, and Harry Connick, Jr., marking a milestone in his celebrated career and enduring influence on hip hop culture.
