Eminem, the iconic rapper known for his provocative and intense lyrics, has released a new album a few weeks back titled ‘The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce)‘. This album features several tracks that take aim at prominent figures in the music industry, including Sean “Diddy” Combs, Kanye West, and Megan Thee Stallion.
Sean Combs Faces Eminem’s Lyrics Amid Controversy and Legal Battles
One of the standout tracks on the album is titled “Fuel”, where Eminem references the legal troubles surrounding Sean “Diddy” Combs. Diddy has been involved in numerous legal issues, including allegations of rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment, and sex trafficking. Eminem uses wordplay in his lyrics to reference these scandals, rapping lines like, “I’m like a R-A-P-E-R / Got so many S-As, S-As,” possibly alluding to the accusations against Combs. He also refers to Diddy’s former stage name, P. Diddy, by making listeners wonder if he left the “P” out of “rapper.”
Diddy has been in the news for a messy divorce battle with his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura last November. Ventura filed sexual assault and domestic violence cases against him, and video clips surfaced showing a scuffle between Diddy and Ventura at a hotel in 2016. Diddy issued an apology in a video shared on social media. Following Ventura’s accusations, other women came forward with similar allegations. Some claims even suggested that the FBI had raided Diddy’s homes in connection with sex trafficking. Diddy has vehemently denied all these allegations.
In another track titled “Antichrist”, Eminem continues to reference Diddy, using strong language to emphasize his points. It’s important to note that these references are part of Eminem’s song lyrics and do not depict concrete incidents from Diddy’s life.

Eminem’s album also includes a song called “Bad One”, where he seemingly alludes to an incident involving Kid Cudi. In this song, Eminem describes causing chaos in front of Kid Cudi’s house using explosives, which some fans believe may reference allegations involving Sean Combs.
Eminem doesn’t stop at dissing Diddy; he also takes shots at Kanye West. In the same song, he mocks and criticizes West’s personal issues, even mentioning his medication regimen. Eminem uses his real name, Marshall Bruce Mathers III, in these lyrics to add a personal touch to his critique.

In addition to dissing Kanye West in “Antichrist”, Eminem references the ongoing drama involving Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift. He seems to play on Swift’s song title, “Look What You Made Me Do”, implying her involvement in the controversy. Eminem addresses criticisms of his temperament, rapping lines like, “I ain’t even mad, no but Ye said I’m full of rage and I said you got it wrong; it ain’t anger; it’s more like rage; I’m glad some parents still fix their daughter’s with a,” before shifting the focus back to Kanye West. He also mentions Kim Kardashian, hinting at wanting change in that aspect.
Eminem also takes a jab at Megan Thee Stallion in his track “Houdini”, referencing a shooting incident involving Tory Lanez and Megan. Eminem muses about the possibility of collaborating with Megan Thee Stallion amidst the grim context of the event, singing lines like, “If I was to ask for Megan Thee Stallion if she would collab with me / Would I have a shot at a feat? (Ha!) I don’t know, but I’m glad to be back like Abra-abracadabra.”
