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

Eminem, who has been absent from the music scene since last year, has been the subject of health and weight issues for months. Reports even claim that he was approached by a weight management company to endorse their product.

The "Stan" rapper, real name Marshall Mathers, had been hospitalized with pneumonia in January, prompting speculations that his weight, which reportedly reached a staggering 200 lbs, was the cause of it.

However, Curtis James Jackson - who is famously known as 50 Cent - insists his fellow hip hop top name is doing great.

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