Eminem Comes Back to Acting With Controversial Role For New Project With 50Cent - Full Details
50Cent confirmed on his official Twitter account that Marshall Bruce Mathers III, aka Eminem, will return to acting as a guest star for "BMF" after his appearance on the 2002 musical film "8Mile."
Unlike most of the "Venom" rapper's appearances in TV and film, he will not be portraying himself. But instead, according to this article, Eminem will play Richard Wershe Jr, infamously known as White Boy Rick, on one episode of "Black Mafia Family" of the 50 Cent Production.
White Boy Rick is a 17-year-old boy that got arrested in his home as he was found with 17 pounds of cocaine. There have been numerous reports regarding the "young, baby-face" from the police and news outlets headlining him as the leader of a drug cartel.
The tweet from 50Cent read, "you know BMF is out of here right?" with a photo of the two rappers.

As most of his fans know, appearing on TV shows and gone acting is not the first time for Eminem. Aside from the 2002 film where he became Jimmy "B-Rabbit" Smith Jr., he also had numerous minor appearances in shows.
He played himself in the movies "Entourage," "The Interview," and "Funny People." Other than filming music videos, Eminem has not done much acting since 2002.
