Eminem Disses Megan Thee Stallion on New Single "Houdini"

  

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - Eminem is back in full Slim Shady mode with his latest single, "Houdini," from his upcoming album, *The Death of Slim Shady*. The music video, showcasing Eminem's iconic bleach-blond look, dropped today, and it's already stirring controversy.

The track features the rapper's trademark biting lyrics, targeting various figures in the music industry. Eminem doesn't shy away from controversy, as evidenced by his shots at Dr. Dre and his own children. However, the most notable jab is aimed at Megan Thee Stallion. 

In a provocative line, Eminem references the incident where Tory Lanez shot Megan in the foot: "If I was to ask for Megan Thee (What?) Stallion if she would collab with me, would I really have a shot at a feat? (Haha). I don't know, but I'm glad to be back like." The clever wordplay is typical of Slim Shady, but it's sparked backlash given the sensitivity surrounding the incident.

The rap community has not taken kindly to jokes about Megan Thee Stallion's shooting. Previous artists who have mocked her have faced criticism from fans and direct responses from Megan herself. Earlier this year, Megan released "HISS," a diss track targeting her detractors, including a veiled reference to Eminem. "I feel like Mariah Carey (Mariah Carey)," she rapped, "Got these n**as so obsessed (Damn)," alluding to Mariah Carey's famous 2008 diss track "Obsessed," aimed at Eminem.

Eminem's history of holding grudges against fellow rappers is well-documented. His years-long feud with Machine Gun Kelly culminated in the scathing diss track "Killshot." Now, the music world is waiting to see if Megan Thee Stallion will respond to Eminem's provocation.
