Eminem’s new track, ‘Houdini,’ from his upcoming album ‘The Death Of Slim Shady,’ is causing quite a stir. The song has gone viral, with fans and critics divided over a particular line about Megan Thee Stallion.
In the song, Eminem rhymes, ‘If I was to ask for Megan Thee Stallion if she would collab with me would I really have a shot at a feat?’—a reference to Megan’s 2020 shooting incident involving Tory Lanez. Some listeners think it’s a diss, while others believe it’s been misinterpreted.
Eminem supporters are quick to defend him, arguing that his provocative lyrics are a key part of his appeal. They’re using his own words to counter the backlash. A notable tweet by @Shadyind quotes lyrics from his 2023 collaboration with EZ Mil: ‘Gen Zers actin’ like rap experts zip up your gaps and close your mouths/ B*tch you ain’t been on this planet long enough to tell me how rap’s supposed to sound.’
The debate continues to rage on social media about whether Eminem should have omitted the line or if the controversy is overblown.
Eminem’s fans are standing by him amid the uproar, emphasizing that his edgy style is what sets him apart. The conversation shows no signs of dying down, with supporters and critics alike passionately voicing their opinions.
