Eminem Fires Shots at Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, and Diddy on New Album
American hip-hop legend Eminem has sparked controversy with his latest album, "The Death of Slim Shady (Coupe de Grâce)," which appears to take aim at several prominent figures in the music industry. The rapper, known for his provocative lyrics, has been accused of firing shots at fellow rappers Kanye West, aka Ye, and Kendrick Lamar, as well as embattled music executive Diddy.
In a track titled "Anti-Christ," Eminem boasts about his ability to whoop his haters’ asses better than Diddy, who is currently facing several sexual harassment allegations, including gay sex tracking. The lyrics, which have been met with widespread attention, suggest that Eminem is confident in his ability to take down his detractors.
Eminem also takes a swipe at Kanye West, rapping about not wanting to "fall off" like the latter. The reference is likely a nod to West’s recent antics, which have left many questioning his stability and focus on his music career.
The rapper also targets Kendrick Lamar, claiming that his latest album, "Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers," was "cool but doesn’t have any bangers." The criticism has sparked a heated debate among fans and critics, with some defending Lamar’s work and others siding with Eminem’s opinion.
It remains to be seen how Diddy, Kanye West, and Kendrick Lamar will respond to Eminem’s name-dropping on his album. So far, none of the three have publicly commented on the matter.
