Sean O’Malley responds Eminem’s shout out

Today, JID released new project, called GDLU (Preluxe), a promotional EP for his upcoming album “God Does Like Ugly” and it features a song “Animals Pt. 1” with Eminem.

In the song, Eminem shouts out former UFC Bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley with the following lines: “When I lost Proof, couldn’t explain how, that devil came down / Then in one fell, he swooped, look at how foul he’s stooped / Had to throw in that towel, regroup, like Sean O’Malley, still that mouthy youth.”

Sean O’Malley was a UFC Bantamweight champion, until he lost his title in September 2024 to Georgian machine, Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 316. Eminem compares this to the hiatus he took in 2004 after Proofs death, to overcome his drug addiction and the death of his friend, returning in 2009 with Relapse album.

It appears Suga has already heard a song as he commented “GOAT” emoji under Eminem’s post on Instagram. Check out the screenshot below:
