'Steve Stoute Told Me Not to Sign with Eminem' - 50 Cent

Some of you may recall when 50 Cent got all up in Steve Stoute’s grill at a Knicks game a few weeks ago after the music exec took a couple jabs at Fif’s struggle music. (Hey, his words, not mine.)

But that David vs. Goliath face-off was not the first encounter the two music mavericks have had. Back in the day, when 50 was struggling for cents and still dying to get rich, he says the money-making guru gave him this advice just before he signed to Eminem’s Shady Records: “Don’t do the deal with the White boy!” Welp, obviously Steve didn’t think Em was good enough to advance the Queens rapper’s career, just like he didn't think 50 would pop up at that Knicks game ready to flip. Lesson of the day: when in doubt, don’t pull a Steve Stoute.
