Here's the heartwarming reason Eminem turned down a ton of cash to go touring with Snoop Dog and Dr Dre.
Be honest, if you were offered a life-changing $100 million to spend some time away from your family, you'd probably take it. I mean, I'm sure the family would encourage you to go for that kind of money.
But Eminem, real name Marshall Mathers, evidentially sees family as the most important thing after he was offer the proposition of touring with fellow rap legends, Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre.
50 Cent revealed to Big Boy TV that Eminem turned down the tour that would have been worth 'collectively, over $100 million' because he wanted to spend more time with his daughter, Hailie, and worried he wouldn't see her for long periods of time if he had gone on a tour across the globe.

"You do not believe how much money we would’ve made," 50 Cent said. "And Em was like — there was so many dates at the time the way they laid it out — that he was like, ‘I just don’t want to go on tour and come back and Hailie’s grown.'"
A true family man.
Despite turning down tour dates, Mathers' rapping ability certainly hasn't suffered - evident through a recent challenge he was tasked with on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Uber Eats put a tweet out saying: "There’s no word in English that rhymes with 'silver,'" which lead to the Rock The Bells account saying: "@Eminem, you have 24 hours!"
Well, Eminem was never going to take such a challenge likely as he responded just over 24 hours later with a savage response.
Mathers wrote: "Silver pilfer kill fer Gilbert's still hurts steel shirts Bill Burr milf word off kilter no filter chill brrrr feel burn still slur will stir Trent dilfer Val kilmer Still third shield her he'll squirt Steven Spielberg Lil twerp Wilshire She'll purr Kill birds milk curd feel worth Real nerd Stans documentary I liked your film sir."
"This should have like a million likes," one person penned in the comments, while a second added: "LMAOOOOOOO you’re a genius."
Fans of Eminem will certainly be pleased to know the rapper is releasing a new album in the near future - with 50 Cent already having a sneak peak at what he is working on.
"He sent me a record now, he working now,” Curtin Jackson told Los Angeles radio station Real 92.3. "He got some things man. Still the highest-selling rap artist in the world. We’re doing it now."
