50 Cent Praises Nicki Minaj, Eminem & Pop Smoke On Young Money Radio

50 Cent Calls Nicki Minaj An ‘Alpha Female’, Shows Love To Pop Smoke & Eminem

50 Cent was the guest on Friday night’s episode of Lil Wayne’s ‘Young Money Radio’ where he talked about executive producing the late Pop Smoke’s posthumous album, Shoot for the Stars Aim for the Moon’ which is now set to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 chart.

The rap and business mogul showered praises on Eminem, and as well Nicki Minaj whom he referred to as “alpha female”. Fif also recounted the first time he ever met Pop, who was tragically killed back in February.

“I talked to him. I’m like, ‘This someone new in the league is copying your style?’ And even at that point, it’s a form of flattery. He’s copying you because your material was such an influence on him and that’s the way he learned to do it. He learned it from listening to you. It’s another thing when this n***a talking to you and you looking at him, you going ‘Nah this n***a not copying 50 Cent. This n***a is 50 Cent!’”

And when the discussion shifted to Nicki Minaj, “I love me some Nicki. This n***a actually happens to come from my neighbourhood. It happens to be a girl, but that n***a is tough! She be harder than the n***a she f*ck with. She be harder and she’s an alpha female! That motherf*cker tough! You see what I’m saying, son? You got to watch her or she’ll go—she’ll do something that’s pulling a move to assert herself.”

50 Cent also praised Eminem and credited him for launching his career. “Being in connection to Em, I say this sh*t openly, right. I don’t think you sell 13 million records without Eminem,” he said. “Because that connection makes them understand that you understand how they fit into the culture.

“When they see Em, they see someone that actually grew up…hip-hop culture is Black music, forget about it. Everybody around him is African-American, Proof and Denaun and everybody that’s part of D12. And he comes up and he’s that f*cking good, it goes OK, I see where I fit.”
