Eminem Thanks Fans for Birthday Wishes “Suck It!!!!!”

Expect no sappy sentiments from Eminem as he marked his 51st birthday in true Slim Shady fashion. Born on October 17, 1972, the rap icon celebrated his semi-centennial plus one with a classic and characteristically edgy post. Sporting a slick black t-shirt and matching pants, he struck a pose against a black backdrop, crowned with a pointed birthday hat and a defiant grin. “Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes!!!,” he exclaimed, adding his signature defiant twist, “suck it!!!!!”

While Eminem remained true to his gritty persona on his special day, his long-standing buddy 50 Cent took a more sentimental route. The rapper shared a series of iconic photos featuring the dynamic duo over the years – whether on stage, behind the scenes, or during 50’s 2020 Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony. His heartfelt message accompanied the snapshots: “Happy Birthday to the living legend @eminem love you to death man, God bless wishing you many more.” Just the previous month, 50 Cent had surprised fans by bringing Eminem onstage during his Final Lap tour in Detroit, thrilling the crowd with a teaser of his verse from the 2003 classic “Patiently Waiting” before Eminem took the stage in his signature hoodie, delivering his timeless lines to the hometown fans’ delight. The two amped up the excitement even further by performing their Grammy-winning 2009 hit “Crack a Bottle,” although the third member of their iconic trio, Dr. Dre, unfortunately, did not make an appearance.Addressing the crowd, Eminem shouted, “Detroit, make some noise for one of the best friends I’ve ever known: 50 Cent!” He continued, “Make some noise for hip-hop’s 50th birthday, y’all — it’s still hip-hop’s 50th birthday. Detroit, I love y’all!”
