Hip hop stars, producers, DJs, media and fans — everybody wanted to send birthday wishes to Eminem and let him know how important, how loved, and howe respected he is.
50 Cent was one of the first to post a message to Eminem from early rising Europe:
Happy Birthday to the living legend @Eminem love you to death man, God bless wishing you many more

Busta Rhymes who is touring with 50 Cent right this moment posted a photo with Em from the Super Bowl Halftime backstage and added a loud shoutout:
HAPPY BDAY TO @eminem ONE OF THE MOST INCREDIBLE MC’S TO EVER TOUCH A MICROPHONE SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THIS HIPHOP CULTURE!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREATNESS KING!!
A photo from the same event inspired Fat Joe and he captioned it with his own birthday wishes to Em:
BIG Happy Birthday to the Icon himself @eminem more life to you my brother, we love you! 🎂
Joyner Lucas has penned a heartfelt letter to Marshall and shared a BTS video from shooting their “Lucky You” music video:
Happy birthday to the legendary @eminem. Wats crazy is during my whole come up I used to ask “I wonder if Eminem knows who I am..” that shit mattered to me. He was the 1 rapper that I NEEDED approval from. Maybe it’s because musically he birthed my style and from age 13 this dude was like a god to me. The way he was able to put words together and express himself. The way he was vulnerable & spilled his heart out with his pen and made you feel something. From “Stan”, to “the way I am” and “cleaning out my closet” and “loose yourself” and “hailie’s song” and many others…..First time I ever met em, was at a @royceda59 video shoot. Fast forward and I get to shoot my music video with him…. “LUCKY YOU”….I remember being on this video set and it feeling like an out of body experience the whole time. I kept saying to myself “this ain’t real”… 🤣 like im shooting a music video with the 🐐 right now On MY BIRTHDAY!!?? The whole video shoot he kept saying things to me like “yo when you said this line and that line on this song and that song,,, how did you come up with that? Like how did you put those syllables together and how did you tell the story in that way?” I’m like damn bro you really listen to my shit? Lol blew my damn mind. Marshall is probably the most humble down to earth people you will ever meet. Happy birthday my brother and thank you for your contributions to both the game AND my life. ❤️ 🎈🥂
A post from Marshall’s longtime friend and collaborator Royce da 5’9 was short but showed the closeness that very few people can claim when talking about their relationship with Eminem:
Happy Birthday, Big Bruddah … 🤞🏿🫡🐐 @eminem
D12 members send his wishes to Eminem together and separately as they showed up on the D12 official Instagram page and personal accounts of Kuniva and Bizarre:
Talking about old collaborators, Xzibit shared a photo with Eminem and Dr. Dre from the Up in Smoke tour, adding:
Happy birthday bro, many blessings and many more to come.
DJ Whoo Kid pulled out another vintage photo with Eminem and said:
