Eminem, the renowned rapper celebrated for his bold lyrics and penchant for controversy, has once again made waves with his latest album release, The Death of Slim Shady, which dropped on July 12. Among the album’s standout tracks is “Lucifer,” where Eminem doesn’t hold back in addressing a well-known incident involving actress Amber Heard and her legal battle with Johnny Depp.

Eminem’s controversial lyrics

In “Lucifer,” Eminem ventures into provocative territory, directly referencing a notorious incident that unfolded during Heard and Depp’s tumultuous courtroom drama. The song, known for its sharp wordplay, takes a satirical swipe at Heard’s actions during their highly publicized defamation trial. Eminem’s lyrics, which include biting commentary and clever analogies, highlight his unfiltered approach to storytelling:

“My sht is like taking Deborah Mathers at her word / Yeah, I’m that absurd, we had a spat, then afterwards / We squashed the beef like a hamburger patty, or should I say gigantic trd? / ‘Cause I put that sht to bed like Amber Heard at a Mattress Firm (Slt)”

The infamous incident

During the legal proceedings between Heard and Depp, a shocking revelation surfaced regarding an incident on Heard’s 30th birthday. It was disclosed that Heard had admitted to leaving excrement in Depp’s bed, which initially she attributed to their dogs before eventually taking responsibility for her actions. This bizarre detail became a viral sensation, drawing extensive media coverage and becoming a topic of public fascination.

Depp himself responded to the incident with a mixture of disbelief and bemusement, finding the situation so surreal that he could only react with laughter upon seeing photographic evidence. The revelation added another layer of complexity to the already contentious legal battle, further fueling tabloid headlines and social media speculation.

Eminem’s provocative lyrics for other celebrities

Beyond the reference to Amber Heard, Eminem’s latest album also features scathing critiques aimed at several other prominent figures in the entertainment industry. Notable targets include Kanye West, Diddy, Lizzo, and Ja Rule, with each receiving their share of Eminem’s biting commentary and controversial statements. This album reaffirms Eminem’s reputation for addressing sensitive issues and personal controversies through his music, blending satire with social commentary.

Eminem’s takes a dig at Diddy also

One of the album’s tracks also takes aim at Diddy, referencing a recent incident involving Diddy and his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. Eminem’s lyrics humorously allude to the altercation, showcasing his knack for incorporating current events into his lyrical arsenal:

“Next idiot ask me is gettin’ his as beat worse than Diddy did [pause]/ But on the real, though/ She prolly ran out the room with his fckin’ dildo/ He try to field goal punt her, she said to chill/ Now put it back in my as and get the steel toe.”*

This latest release from Eminem not only rekindles public interest in past controversies but also underscores his role as a provocateur within the music industry. Despite the uproar surrounding his lyrics, neither Amber Heard nor Johnny Depp have publicly responded to Eminem’s lyrical references.
