Couple of days ago South African rapper Nasty C, who is signed to Def Jam Records did an Instagram live for his fans where the rapper threw some shades at Eminem.
“I can spank Eminem. The reason I say this cause recent Eminem is not really relatable. He is dope and bars are out of this world but he is not relatable. If you are rapper, you go crazy over it, if you are normal person it’s like you get at the end of the verse and you are like ‘what he just said? what the f**k was that.’ Me, on the other hand, I can do both. I can totally make no sense to a normal person or I can be super relatable. I can spank Eminem. I know you guys don’t believe that but don’t doubt me like that, dawg.”
In his recent Instagram story, Nasty C apologized (kind of) to the Rap God and asked him not to pay attention to that video: “Dear Eminem. I love you. If you see the video gong around right now, do not pay no mind to it. Just laugh about it and move on. Ngyak’saba.” Reportedly the last word in Zulu language means ‘I am scared.’ Check out the screenshot of his story below:

Have you ever imagined Eminem spitting feminist verse and dissing Rick Rubin for disrespecting women? Well, it’s not hard to imagine now as 30 Hertz is back again with a new track “A Diss Against the Patriarchy,” featuring Kanye West, created with the help of Artificial Intelligence technology.
AI also made Kanye West apologize to Taylor Swift. You can bump the new track below. WARNING: All the lyrics are automatically created by AI technology and it’s not even close to realness.
Iggy Azalea and Eminem have a long history of ‘beefing,’ with one of the most recent includes Eminem’s namedrop on Machine Gun Kelly diss track, “KILLSHOT” where the Detroit legend raps: “You ain’t never made a list next to no Biggie, no Jay, next to Taylor Swift and that Iggy ho, you about to really blow.’
Iggy replied with now-deleted tweets: “Diss songs shouldn’t be filled with celebrity name drops to pad out lazy bars. And that’s my unbiased opinion from a girl that watched this guys set and sung the words in the crowd. I’d think it regardless. One of the greatest to do it, I’m NOT in dispute about that. But I do think the name dropping thing has become a crotch [sic].”
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia-born rapper has once again became target for Eminem fans. For whatever reason, you can watch the video below:
Have you guys ever wondered what Eminem’s 1999 hit song “My Name Is” from The Slim Shady LP would sound like if Em had written it in 2021? Well, 40 Hertz has recreated it with the help of Artificial Intelligence technology, and it actually sounds like it could be Eminem.
The clever remake includes different lyrics that make references to Billie Eilish, K Pop stars, Drake, Rick Ross and Donald Trump – all which would be very likely targets for Eminem in real life.
His voice sounds just like the real thing, and is created using vocal synthesizers – all very complicated. And it looks like deep fake music could well present an issue for the music industry.

The Grammy Awards are known for flashy, unusual musical pairings, but no duo caused a stir like Eminem and Elton John in 2001.
Eminem’s The Marshall Mathers LP was one of the biggest hits of the previous year. It cemented him as a rap star and force to be reckoned with in the music industry — love him or hate him. And people really did either love him or hate him. For every critic hailing the Detroit native as a lyrical genius, there was another criticizing him for homophobic and misogynistic messages.
GLAAD announced it would be among the groups protesting Eminem’s “hate-filled lyrics” outside Staples Center in Los Angeles on Grammy night. Then, less than two weeks before the telecast, it was revealed that John would take the stage with Eminem to perform his hit song “Stan.”
Yahoo Entertainment has recently spoke with former Grammys producer Ken Ehrlich about how Eminem and John’s unforgettable performance came to be.
According to Ehrlich, who was the showrunner of the Grammy Awards for 40 years and the architect of the event’s signature musical team-up moments, there was no hesitation that Eminem’s participation (solo or not) might prove to be too controversial for network television.
“I produced the show, so a lot of it was my decision. We wanted him, there wasn’t any question. Granted he was — I don’t want to even use the word controversial. He was an extremely unique artist who was not hesitant about expressing his point of view. And by the way, some of that point of view was pointed at the Grammys.”
“Well, I don’t want to rewrite history if he says that that’s fine. It’s not exactly the way I remember it. But, you know, great ideas have many fathers.”
“I remember getting a call. It might have been someone at the label, it might’ve been someone from [Eminem’s team], but I think we had already been thinking about it, just not necessarily in those terms. We were looking for a duet partner because they had expressed to us that he was interested in performing with another artist.”
“As soon as we got the message to Elton that we were interested, he sparked to it. He said, ‘This is exactly the kind of thing that I want to do. I want to break down these barriers. If [Eminem’s] OK with it and he wants to do it. I’d love to do it.'”
Back in February, one of the TikTok users, who has since been removed from the app, uploaded a short clip of her listening to Eminem’s “Love the Way You Lie,” featuring Rihanna. She particularly called out the line, “If she ever tries to f**king leave again, I’m a tie her to the bed and set this house on fire” and wrote “Yesssss lets cancel him.”
Since then, that initial post has gone viral, launching an age-old debate about the artistic value of Eminem’s controversial lyrics in a time of heightened sensitivity. Posts related to the #canceleminem hashtag reached almost 3 million views. BUT a quick scroll through the videos indicates that the hashtag has been commandeered by Eminem fans who are defending the rapper. Many of these fans point out that Eminem has always been controversial and this particular Gen Z campaign is nothing new.
Last Friday, Eminem released an animated lyric video for “Tone Deaf,” single from Music To Be Murdered By album, in response to “Cancel Eminem” campaign. And when everybody thought it was all over, suddenly, Eminem 2005 song “FACK” becomes the new hot on TikTok. Check out some of the videos below:
Ten years ago, multimillionaire beauty entrepreneur Kay Cola, who was a single mother of two, could never have imagined where she’d be today. Kay Cola became a multi-millionaire after leaving the music industry to build her own all-natural beauty business but before she left, she has worked with Eminem and Dr. Dre in the past.
In a recent interview with Forbes, she talked about the working experience with two legendary figures in hip-hop: “Working with Eminem was certainly a high point in my music career. The song was ‘Not Afraid,’ from the Recovery album. It was a very collaborative experience and I was both singing and writing for the track. Dr Dre was great to work with, too. He would let me do my thing and give me guidance afterward.”
