Eminem is known for his outspoken nature, and his latest album, The Death of Slim Shady, is no exception as he targets disgraced mogul and rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs in three tracks.
In his 12th studio album, Eminem criticizes the founder of Bad Boy Records for his numerous sexual assault allegations. The rapper also references the video showing Diddy assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.
On the song “Antichrist,” the Detroit rapper referenced the horrifying video in his lyrics. “Next idiot ask me is gettin’ his ass beat worse than Diddy did,” he rapped. “But on the real, though / She prolly ran out the room with his f–kin’ dildo.”
Eminem continued, “He tried to field goal punt her, she said to chill / Now put it back in my ass and get the steel toe.”
While the album primarily dealt with reflecting on the legacy of his controversial alter-ego Slim Shady, Eminem’s lyrics remained sharp when addressing Combs. In the track “Fuel,” Eminem suggested that Diddy was a rapist and accused him of ordering a hit on Tupac Shakur.
Diddy and his Bad Boy Records artists were famously involved in a feud with Tupac and the West Coast's Death Row Records. This rivalry between Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. culminated in the deaths of both rappers. Eminem started his career under the mentorship of Dr. Dre, who was a prominent figure at Death Row during the time of Tupac's death.
