Eminem has just dropped “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce)”, and in typical Slim Shady fashion, he’s stirring controversy.
On the track “Fuel”, featuring JID and produced by Denaun Porter, Eminem addresses the sexual assault allegations against Diddy with his signature unapologetic style.
“Fuel” sees Eminem returning to his provocative and confrontational roots. On the track, he raps:
I’m like a R-A-P-E-R
Got so many S-As, S-As
Wait, he didn’t just spell the word “Rapper” and leave out a P, did he?
R.I.P., rest in peace, Biggie
And Pac, both of y’all should be living
But I ain’t tryna beef with him
’Cause he might put a hit on me like Keefe D did him
And that’s the only way you’re gonna be killing me
Ain’t gonna be on no beat, silly
These lyrics reference Diddy’s 1990s nickname, P. Diddy, and allude to the numerous sexual assault allegations against him. Since November, Diddy has been involved in eight lawsuits involving rape, sexual assault, sex trafficking, and violence.
Fans quickly caught on to Eminem’s sharp jab, causing the hashtags R-A-P-E-R and Diddy to trend on X (formerly Twitter) within hours of the album’s release.
