Tom Hardy was filled with excitement and anticipation when he got the chance to meet Eminem. It happened backstage at one of Eminem’s concerts, where Hardy was led to the rapper’s dressing room. The moment, however, wasn’t what Hardy expected, as Eminem was getting ready to perform.
The meeting left Hardy feeling awkward. He described the encounter on DJ Whoo Kid’s Whoo’s House Podcast, admitting he felt like an inconvenience. ‘I felt sorry for him because… I got ushered to his dressing room to say hello and he had to take a photo with me,’ Hardy recounted. ‘He’s nice, but he had to go on stage. So it’s like he’s prepping to do his job and then some idiot like me comes in.’
Eminem, accustomed to the chaos of pre-show rituals, simply deadpanned Hardy, leading the actor to realize the timing was off. Despite the awkwardness, Hardy holds onto the experience with a humorous perspective, evidenced by his laughter during the interview.
Meanwhile, in the world of hip-hop and politics, Lil Pump decided to voice his thoughts. Following Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election, the rapper took to social media platform X, celebrating Trump’s win by calling out those who had supported Kamala Harris, including Eminem and Taylor Swift.
Lil Pump didn’t hold back, writing: ‘All these rappers that got paid to endorse Kamala Harris you’re losers.’ His outspokenness cost him significantly—reporting a loss of $20 million in deals and numerous friendships. However, he remains steadfast, looking forward to ‘cheaper gas’ and ‘lower taxes’ under Trump’s leadership.
Amid these heated exchanges, Eminem has maintained his silence online. The iconic rapper, known for his rare social media presence, revealed his political views by speaking at a Kamala Harris rally in Detroit, advocating for the expression of opinions without fear.
At the rally, Eminem introduced Barack Obama to the stage, which added a powerful moment to the event. This public appearance underscored Eminem’s political stance, even as he chooses not to engage directly with the criticisms from figures like Lil Pump.
Tom Hardy’s tale of meeting Eminem offers a humorous look at celebrity encounters amid the backdrop of hip-hop politics.
