Elon Musk criticizes Eminem's support for Kamala Harris, calls rapper a 'Diddy party participant'

Elon Musk takes aim at Eminem for endorsing Kamala Harris, labeling him a “Diddy party participant”

Elon Musk has sparked controversy by criticizing rapper Eminem for his public support of Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.

After Eminem introduced former President Barack Obama at a rally in Detroit, Musk took to social media, calling the rapper "yet another Diddy party participant," a surprising jab given Eminem's long-standing criticism of Sean “Diddy” Combs.

This remark raised eyebrows, particularly because Musk has previously referred to Diddy as his "good friend." Musk has noted in past interviews that Diddy is also an investor in Twitter, highlighting their close relationship.

In contrast, Eminem has publicly feuded with Diddy over the years, even referencing him in his 2018 diss track "Killshot" and again in his latest album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), where he revisits rumors linking Diddy to the murders of Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G.

Eminem's recent endorsement of Kamala Harris has further ignited political tensions. At the Detroit rally, Eminem energized the crowd and introduced Obama, who playfully recited lyrics from the rapper’s hit song "Lose Yourself," much to the delight of attendees.

Musk’s comments about Eminem and Diddy continue to stir speculation about the billionaire's political leanings and celebrity connections.
