Eminem has been shocking people in his music for decades, but he seems to still be raising eyebrows with his friends, if 50 Cent’s comments are anything to go by.
Eminem isn’t a musical artist that holds his tongue, and he's never really shied away from controversy.
But it seems the real Slim Shady is just as bombastic when he is messaging his friends, according to 50 Cent.
The pair have long been close friends, with 50 Cent often crediting the rapper and producer Dr Dre as helping to propel his career forwards.

But despite being massive stars, it seems Eminem is just like me for real. He sends the weirdest and strangest messages out of context, and seems to do it for the love of the game.
The image of massive superstars sending each other daft messages sounds very wholesome, doesn't it?
Speaking in a video posted from Thisis50 on YouTube, 50 Cent said: "To this day, you know what's ill about Em, he hits me randomly."
He revealed: "He texted me and he was like, 'When you gone fly me a private so I can land on that d*ck?' What the f*ck is wrong with you?'"
For those who don't know, the text was a reference to 50 Cent's appearance on The Woo by Pop Smoke, where he is quoting a partner's text to him.
That's certainly not something you'd expect!
50 Cent went to describe how Eminem's spontaneous texts often made his day.
He said: "But he'll stop doing what he's doing to do that. That sh*t makes my day on a whole other level.
"Cause I'm like, that was random. I'm always gonna have love for him. That's my guy."
For his part, Eminem has previously made it clear just how much he values 50 Cent's friendship, aside from sending him funny texts.
At a concert at his childhood hometown of Detroit, Eminem called 50 Cent 'one of the best friends I've ever known'.
Speaking to the crowd, the iconic rapper said: "Detroit, make some noise for one of the best friends I’ve ever known: 50 Cent. And also, make some noise for hip-hop’s 50th birthday, y’all."
And it's clear that 50 Cent returns the friendship.
In an interview with XXL Magazine, he said: "So when I’m doing 13 million records on my first album, I have the Marshall Mathers LP to look at that’s doing 23 million records.
"Em, I put him next to my grandmother, and I’ma tell you why. He was always a place where I could go and just talk to him, and know that he has my best interest at heart.”
