WASHINGTON: Hip-hop star 50 Cent has revealed that one of the songs in his latest album, Before I Self Destruct, is inspired by the music that he secretly lifted from Eminem’s computer.

The In Da Club hitmaker has revealed that he once visited Eminem’s home in Detroit, where he sneaked a look through the latter’s computer files.

“I did a song produced by Dr Dre I got the production from Detroit, because Dre was working with Em right before I got out there. I just missed him. I went through Em’s computer and found what I needed. Yes, I did,” Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

“I got me the record I needed. I was like, ‘Wait till they hear this’. I wrote it; Em heard it. He was like, ‘You gotta keep that for yourself. This is too crazy.’ First, I think he was gonna take it from me, then he was like, ‘He gotta use that for himself,’” he added.

He is set to release, Before I Self Destruct, later this year.
