Eminem is back and coming for... RuPaul?!? Yes you heard that right...
The rapper released his new single "Houdini" earlier today as well as a video to go with it. In hopes to revive his alter ego Slim Shady, the 51-year-old emcee chose to come for the most random group of people in his latest single, with mentions of Megan the Stallion, RuPaul, and even his own kids.
In the track, Eminem brings up Ru in the most grotesque way, rapping: "They can screw off, them and you all. You too, Paul, got two balls, big as RuPaul's, what you thought you saw ain’t what you saw." It seems as if the rapper chose to attack specific people for dramatic effect, considering there is almost zero correlation between the rapper and the Emmy-winning drag icon.
He even took time to throw shade at Megan the Stallion, saying: "If I was to ask for Megan Thee Stallion if she would collab with me, would I really have a shot at a feat?" The wordplay is directly referencing the Grammy-winning female rapper's altercation with Tory Lanez and being shot in the foot, a low blow that many rappers before him have continued to make.
And Eminem did not stop there. "Houdini" also seems to contain strange and controversial references about the transgender community and even his own kids. "My transgender cat's Siamese, identifies as black, but acts Chinese," he says, then adding, "Cancel me, what? OK, that's it. Go ahead, Paul, quit, snake-a*s pr*ck. You male cross-dresser, fake-ass b***h, and I'll probably get sh*t for that but you can all suck my d**k."
In 2021, Stevie Matters, the youngest of Eminem's children, came out as genderfluid in a post on TikTok. Although Eminem hasn't said much publicly regarding Stevie's announcement, it seems as though he was supportive, so it seems like an incredibly irresponsible choice to attack any community your children are a part of. Fast forward to 2024, Eminem's children make a cameo in the new "Houdini" music video, as he sings "F**k my own kids, they're brats. They can screw off."
While we can all assume it's all a joking matter, sometimes you can never be 100 percent sure...
