On Sunday (Feb 20) the rapper and business mogul took to Instagram to reflect on his friendship with the 'Stan' rapper.
50 Cent shared a screen split photo, showing a throwback photo of himself and Em back in 2003, beside a photo of them together in 2022.
In the throwback photo, a very young 50 was staring in the camera lens with a serious look, while Eminem gave the camera the same glance, while putting his arm around 50's shoulders.
However, in the recent photo, 50 returned the love, putting his arm around Eminem. The pair are both wearing black and white in the photos, sporting New Era and Nike brand.
The 'In Da Club' rapper captioned the post: "This friendship is never gonna change."
Fans immediately took to the comment section to praise the pair's friendship. One fan wrote: "From young men to Gentlemens" while another added: "Same hat .. new money".
A third fan joked: "The original ghost and Tommy" in reference to two characters from 50 Cent's American drama TV series Power.
In 2003, 50 Cent rose to fame and became a top rapper in the charts. On February 6th of that year, the rapper released his Get Rich Or Die Tryin' album, which was orchestrated by Dr. Dre and Eminem.
Since that day, the trio have maintained a close brotherhood type friendship.
