Eminem Looks Unrecognizable In 50 Cent’s New ‘BMF’ Show

Eminem looks unrecognizable in a new TV role for 50 Cent’s new show BMF (Black Mafia Family). The show’s producer – 50 Cent – blasts Starz for allowing the episode with Eminem to leak.

What Is BMF?

BMF premiered on September 26, 2021, and was renewed four days later after the series notched the number one premiere of the year on the Starz app.

The synopsis of the show from Variety, “BMF is inspired by the true story of two brothers who rose from the decaying streets of southwest Detroit in the late 1980s and gave birth to one of the most influential crime families in this country. Demetrius ‘Big Meech’ Flenory’s charismatic leadership, Terry ‘Southwest T’ Flenory’s business acumen and the fraternal partnership’s vision beyond the drug trade and into the world of hip-hop would render the brothers iconic on a global level.”

Marshall Mathers appears on the show as White Boy Rick – whose real name is Richard Wershe Jr.

Who Was White Boy Rick?

Wershe, 52, was arrested at the age of 17 for possession of 8 kg of cocaine. He was sentenced to life in prison in 1987. Wershe was released in July 2020 after being granted parole. Wershe served the longest sentence of any nonviolent minor in Michigan history, according to his lawyer – Nabih Ayad.

He claims that the FBI and Detroit Police groomed him to be a drug informant at 14-years-old.

“They taught him the tricks of buying and selling narcotics, while providing him money, drugs and a fake ID – only to disavow him when he was arrested for cocaine,” Wershe said, according to CNN.

In August, the real-life White Boy Rick said it was an “honor” to have the hip-hop legend portray him in the television show.

“I think he’ll kill it, whatever he does,” Wershe said of Eminem.

Eminem Episode Leaks Online

Fans got a sneak peek of the episode featuring Eminem on Sunday when there was a technical glitch on the Starz app that accidentally released the episode. The episode starring Eminem was yanked shortly after, but screencaps and video clips of an unrecognizable Eminem leaked onto the internet.
