- Eminem's new album targets Kanye West, Diddy, and Kendrick Lamar in provocative lyrics
- He references Diddy's sexual harassment allegations and Kanye West's turbulent behavior
- The album receives mixed reactions, with some praising Eminem's boldness and others criticizing the disses as unnecessary
Eminem’s highly anticipated album, “The Death of Slim Shady (Coupe de Grâce),” has finally dropped, and it’s packed with controversial references to fellow rappers Kanye West, Diddy, and Kendrick Lamar.
In the track “Anti-Christ,” Eminem takes a swipe at Diddy, who is currently facing multiple sexual harassment allegations, including accusations of gay sex trafficking. Eminem raps, “Next idiot that asks me is getting his ass beat worse than Diddy did,” making a pointed reference to the embattled music mogul.
Eminem also appears to address Kanye West’s recent turbulent public behavior, expressing a desire to avoid a similar career decline. “Say they wish that I wasn’t so angry, don’t wanna see me go off the deep end like Ye, ayy,” he raps.
The Detroit rapper also critiques Kendrick Lamar’s latest album, “Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers,” suggesting it lacks hit songs. “’Cause I don’t see no fans, all I see’s a bunch of complainers/‘Kendrick’s album was cool, but it didn’t have any bangers,’” Eminem raps.
As of press time, Kanye West, Diddy, and Kendrick Lamar have yet to respond to Eminem’s provocative name-drops and lyrical jabs. The album has garnered mixed reactions from fans and critics, with some praising Eminem’s boldness and lyrical prowess, while others feel the disses were unnecessary and detract from the overall quality of the music.
