Eminem a role model to 50 Cent

50 Cent has paid an unusual tribute to Eminem – saying the fellow rapper helped him cope with fame.

The 29-year-old said Eminem acted as a role model to him as his career progressed, reports The Sun.

“I kind of look to Eminem to gauge how I should respond to success," he admitted, speaking before a concert in Taiwan. "He’s had even bigger success than me in some areas. He’s been extremely helpful to me.”
