Singer Curtis James Jackson III, popularly known as 50 Cent, is keen to join his mentor Eminem on stage as the opening act for the 8 Mile star's upcoming London gigs.

The `In Da Club` hitmaker released his new album `Animal Ambition` last week, but instead of embarking on his own headlining tour, the rapper is keen to hit the road with his longtime friend, reports contactmusic.com.

Eminem is set to play two nights at London's Wembley Stadium July 11 and July 12. In an interview with Gigwise.com, 50 Cent reveals he wants to join him.

"I think Em is going to be doing something at Wembley. I'll see what's going on and see if I can get in on that,` he said.
