50 SAYS EMINEM IS FIT DESPITE RUMORS: 'He's gonna look real good when you see him return,' says Curtis

50 Cent wants everyone to know that Eminem has not ballooned in size, nor is his health in decline, as recent rumors have suggested.

"Em is in shape right now," 50 tells MTV News. "He looks good. I seen him in Detroit. He's gonna look real good when you see him return."

"The last time I seen him we played basketball together," he added. "He had a knee injury, so we chilled for a little bit."

Eminem has been off the music scene for the past year. In his absence, rumors surfaced that he had gained weight and now weighs well over 200 pounds. In January, the Detroit rapper was hospitalized with pneumonia.
