Eminem reportedly demanded $2million to perform at next year's Super Bowl leaving organisers to show him the cold shoulder and plump for Janelle Monae instead.
The 41-year-old rapper had been asked to play at the NFL Owners Party during Super Bowl week which begins on Monday 27 January, 2014.
However, Eminem's asking price of $2m proved to be a step to far for the organisers who then turned to 'Bound 2' rapper Kanye West.
West would also prove too costly as the Chicago rapper wanted $1m plus add ons to appear at the world famous event.
