50 Cent getting in da game
 

Multiplatinum-selling rapper reveals he's working on an upcoming game which will feature label-mates Eminem and Dr. Dre.

During an interview on San Francisco Bay Area radio station KMEL Monday night, 50 Cent let slip that he's working on an upcoming video game. Although the multi-platinum hip-hop star didn't mention a title or release date, he did say that the game will feature himself and fellow Aftermath artists Eminem and Dr. Dre, as well as members of 50 Cent's group, G-Unit.

One interesting tidbit the "In Da Club" rapper did let slip was that the game would be a "Grand Theft Auto-style" action title. That description may add fuel to the rumors that swirled earlier this year that 50 Cent's mentor and label-mate Eminem was collaborating with Rockstar Games. In a breach-of-contract lawsuit filed against Eminem by L.A.-based Conspiracy Games in July, Conspiracy CFO Keith Tanaka accused Eminem of reneging on a deal with his company in order to work with the Grand Theft Auto developers. "We were not aware of any problems until we started getting some press on our new product," said Tanaka. "Then we started hearing rumors about Eminem negotiating a better deal with Rockstar Games." Could the game 50 Cent referred to be that project?
