A tabloid newspaper today claims that 50 - real name Curtis Jackson - will film a one-off spot on the drama within the next six months after "weeks of talks" with bosses.
The rumour surfaced after the hip-hop star revealed that he is a fan of Barbara Windsor's iconic character Peggy Mitchell, who bowed out of Albert Square on Friday night.
50 is quoted as saying: "I really wanted Peggy to throw me out of her pub, but I didn't get it organised quick enough and it's too late now.
"I've performed with Eminem and Justin Timberlake, acted with De Niro and Pacino, had a guest spot on The Simpsons - in the US a sign you've made it to the very top - but I can't fulfil my biggest showbiz dream."
Dismissing suggestions that the star will soon be filming at Elstree, an EastEnders spokesperson told DS: "We're flattered he's a fan, but there have been no talks about him appearing in the show."
Reports suggest that 50 became aware of EastEnders after his footballer friend Rio Ferdinand introduced him to the soap.
