50 Cent claims Jay-Z tried to exclude him from 2022 Super Bowl halftime show — and takes dig at Beyonce

50 Cent almost got cut from the epic 2022 Super Bowl halftime show.

The rapper, 49, claimed that Jay-Z’s entertainment company, Roc Nation, tried to keep him out of the star-studded hip-hip mashup that also included Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Dr. Dre and Mary J. Blige.

“They wanted to leave me out of it. They didn’t want me there,” 50 Cent told the Hollywood Reporter in an interview published Wednesday.

Jay-Z, 54, founded Roc Nation in 2008. The company has helped the NFL produce the Super Bowl halftime show since 2020, when Jennifer Lopez and Shakira took the stage.

When asked who “they” is that he referred to in the interview, 50 Cent clarified that he was talking about Roc Nation.

“Yeah, they didn’t want me there,” he said, noting that he ended up in the performance thanks to Eminem, 51.

“Eminem wouldn’t do it without me. That’s how I ended up on the show because he was not coming if I didn’t do it,” 50 Cent explained. “When that happens, you go, ‘Damn, so you just lost Eminem because you didn’t bring 50? Damn. All right. Bring 50 then.’”

But if it was up to them, they would not have me there,” he added. “I’m the surprise. I’m not on the bill at all. But they couldn’t get Em to do it without me.”

The rapper also took a dig at Beyoncé in the interview — and her 32 Grammys.

I don’t know who’s voting in that s–t. It’s crazy,” he said. “Whoever they are, they’re off at Beyoncé’s house because she has 30 of them.”

The Post has reached out to a rep for Roc Nation for comment.
