G-Unit have revealed that Eminem is incredibly happy with his recent success and that it's proved that he has still remained relevant despite having been around for 12 years.

Rappers Tony Yayo and Lloyd Banks attributed the 'Love The Way You Lie' rapper's success to his "cult following".

In an interview with MTV, Banks said: "I know he's happy and I'm happy for him. It's big. Em has a cult following and they ain't gonna turn their backs on him.

"He brings you into his life. You know about his wife, his kids, his best friend. On that last album [Relapse], he touched on a lot of those topics and other personal things he had going on, too.

"A lot of people can relate to it. I feel like his music is getting more and more powerful. The messages are bigger."

Yayo also added: "Eminem is like the godfather of the hip-hop game. In a time like this, when records are not selling, he's the only one that is selling. You know, Drake and all the other ones [did well], but Em did 800,000 [in] his first week, and he's number one for the fifth week. It's incredible.

"I think he has a faithful fan base of people who have been following him for years. They're not going to stop following him and not stop listening to his music.

"Em said he didn't like his last album as much as this one... But Eminem has followers that [are] gonna mess with him until the day he dies."
