Eminem’s latest album, “Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace),” takes a controversial swipe at Diddy, referencing past sexual assault allegations and other controversies.
Eminem boldly targets Diddy in several tracks in this album, released on Friday. The song “Antichrist” sees Eminem portraying himself as a villain, delivering lines that challenge the listener with sharp wit and provocative content. He raps, “But who else is as pitiless, actually witty and crass, hideous, ghastly, and insidious as me … or spitting as nasty? Next idiot asks me is getting his ass beat worse than Diddy did.”
The track in Death of Slim Shady, “Fuel,” featuring JID, continues this theme. Here, Eminem intensifies his critique, incorporating references to alleged sexual assaults and even the infamous murder of Tupac Shakur. The lyrics suggest a bold accusation: “Do not test like an essay (Why?)/ ‘Cause like where my homies out West, aye (Yeah)/ We can just say (What?)/ I’m like an ‘R-A-P-E-R (Yeah)/ Got so many S-As (S-As) S-As (Huh)/ Wait, he didn’t just spell the word rapper and leave out a ‘P’, did he?/ (Yup!!!!)”
Moreover, Eminem hints at Diddy’s alleged involvement in Tupac’s 1996 murder in the lyrics, “R-I-P, rest in peace, Biggie/And ‘Pac, both of y’all should be living/Yup, but I ain’t tryna beef with him ’cause he might put a hit on me like Keefe D, get him/ And that’s the only way you’re gonna be killing me (Nah) Ain’t gonna be on no beat, silly (Yeah).”
Eminem’s 12th studio album pushes boundaries and has stirred significant controversy, making waves across the music industry with its bold accusations and narrative.
