Eminem recreates his iconic 2001 MTV VMAs performance in 2024 as the Detroit legend opens the ceremony with his new hit single "Houdini," followed by "Somebody Save Me," featuring Jelly Roll from his latest 12th solo studio album, The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grace). Eminem is nominated into 8 categories at this year MTV VMAs but he already lost "Song Of Summer" and "Iconic Performance" nominations, which were based on fan voting. Slim Shady has a very big chance to win in hip-hop category, which will make him the most awarded male artist in the history of the program.
