Eminem Fires Shots at Diddy on Three Different Songs from New Album. Eminem’s widely anticipated 12th studio album, The Death of Slim Shady, was released recently. As usual, Eminem is making news by criticising Diddy on various songs. The album’s title, “the final blow or shot given to kill,” suggests the rapper’s departure from Slim Shady.
Eminem confronts Diddy’s sexual assault allegations on “Fuel,” featuring JID. “I’m like an R-A-P-E-R/I got lots of S-As.He didn’t spell rapper without a ‘P’, right? mention Diddy’s 1990s nickname, P. Diddy, and his many sexual misconduct charges. Diddy has been sued eight times since November for rape, sexual assault, sex trafficking, and violence. A lawsuit filed by his ex-girlfriend Cassie was resolved out of court.
“I’ve never been one to shy away from the truth. The industry has to face its demons, just like the rest of us,” Eminem tweeted.
Eminem questions the music industry’s credibility and influence in “Dark Clouds,” another song. With phrases like “Money can’t cover your tracks when the truth’s on the attack,” he suggests Diddy’s actions have repercussions. The melancholy beat matches the weighty subject matter.
The third song, “Last Stand,” is a strong album conclusion as Eminem contemplates his career and fame’s darker side. He rhymes, “Legends fall, and icons decay, but truth will always find its way,” indirectly criticising Diddy’s legacy.
In March, Dr. Dre teased new Eminem songs on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Eminem confirmed the news for The Death of Slim Shady during the 2024 NFL Draft with a trailer. With cryptic teases, including a Detroit Free Press obituary for Slim Shady, the rapper built expectation. The obituary, “Slime Shady Made Lasting Impressions,” noted the character’s influence on rap since “My Name Is” in 1999.
The teaser trailer for Eminem’s first single, “Houdini,” showed illusionist David Blaine devouring a wine glass. On June 28, Big Sean and BabyTron released “Tobey,” their second song. Each release built anticipation for the album’s July 12 release.
Fans and reviewers disagree on Eminem’s latest Diddy attacks. Some think calling out industry misconduct is daring, while others think it could resurrect old feuds and controversies. The album has stirred extensive discussion and highlighted Diddy’s serious charges.
Eminem’s return with The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) was momentous. Strong lyrics and daring sentiments will make the album one of the year’s most talked-about. Eminem’s fans worry if Slim Shady’s career is over or merely evolving.
