Despite uploading only six videos to his YouTube channel in 2022, 50 Cent ranked 11th on the list with 1.8 billion views. Eminem has more than 54.7 million subscribers on his YouTube channel, where he has shared only 140 videos. The Lose Yourself rapper also has over 37 million Instagram followers, but he doesn’t follow any of them back. Eminem is followed on social media by high-profile celebrities like Snoop Dogg and others.

In November, Eminem paid subtle homage to the 2002 cult classic 8 Mile with a limited-edition comic book cover. According to TMZ, Mekhi Phifer, Eminem’s co-star in 8 Mile, denied the sequel possibilities of the movie. Although his music career has had its ups and downs since the film’s release in November 2002, Eminem is still widely recognized as a hip-hop legend.
