A few days ago someone said he was signing to Aftermath, but I just read over at sohh.com too that he has signed with Shady Records and that it has apparently been confirmed, so.

Can't believe it... where the fuck is the connection between 50 Cent and Shady Records? Isn't 50 Cent from Queensbridge, NY... LOL@Eminem signing a QB rapper, sounds strange to me.

Aight, so this shit is confirmed... ^^^^^^^^ my bad :-[

Here's what sohh.com had to say:
Looks like Eminem sees dollar signs when he looks at NY emcee, 50 Cents. What started as a rumor on HipHopSite.Com has been confirmed by LAUNCH, 50 Cents is now apparently apart of the Aftermath family. According to LAUNCH, the rapper has inked a deal with Em and Dr. Dre and will drop his next album on Shady Records/Aftermath Entertainment distributed by Interscope Records.
50 Cents shot to popularity after releasing the song "How To Rob", a fantasy-filled, tongue-in-cheek joint where 50 rhymes about robbing rappers in the industry. The song prompted negative responses from the likes of Big Pun, Ghostface Killa and Jay-Z. 50 Cent dropped his debut, Power of the Dollar in 1999 to little fanfare, but hopes with the backing of Dre and Em, he can get above ground.
