In typical Slim fashion, the rapper didn’t hold back on his 12th studio LP.
Eminem returned with his first album in four years as The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce) hit streaming services on Friday (July 12). Tapping into his Slim Shady alter ego at times throughout the LP, Em doesn’t hold back when targeting fixtures around pop culture and within hip-hop, especially when it comes to Sean “Diddy” Combs.
The embattled mogul caught the Detroit legend’s wrath on multiple tracks, as Eminem sniped the Bad Boy CEO regarding the litany of sexual misconduct allegations made against him in recent months.
The only clean name-drop of Combs from Em came on the jarring “Antichrist,” in which he seemingly references the 2016 footage of Diddy assaulting his ex Cassie in a Los Angeles hotel. (Diddy apologized days after for his actions and said his “behavior on that video is inexcusable” in a self-recorded video posted to Instagram; the apology was later deleted when he wiped his account clean of all posts.)
“Next idiot ask me is getting his a– beat worse than Diddy did,” Em raps, but stops short of naming Cassie. “But on the real, though/ She probably ran out the room with his f—ing d—o.”
Billboard has reached out to Diddy’s reps for comment.
Fans believe there were another pair of disses on the J.I.D-assisted “Fuel,” on which Em pays tribute to The Notorious B.I.G. and 2Pac, and appears to insinuate Diddy had a role in the deaths.
“R.I.P., rest in peace, Biggie/ And Pac, both of y’all should be living/ But I ain’t tryna beef with him (Nope)/ ‘Cause he might put a hit on me like Keefe D did him,” Marshall Matthers spews.
Just the bar before, Em seemingly uses “P, did he?” as a homonym of P. Diddy. “I’m like a R-A-P-E-R/ Got so many S-As (S-As), S-As/ Wait, he didn’t just spell the word, ‘Rapper’ and leave out a P, did he?” he asks.
Part of Cassie’s sprawling 2023 lawsuit alleging rape and years of physical abuse against Diddy included an allegation that the decorated music executive attempted to blow up Kid Cudi’s car in 2012 after finding out that the “Day ‘n’ Nite” rapper was romantically interested in her.
“Mr. Combs told Ms. Ventura that he was going to blow up Kid Cudi’s car, and that he wanted to ensure that Kid Cudi was home with his friends when it happened,” Ventura’s lawyers wrote. “Around that time, Kid Cudi’s car exploded in his driveway.”
Em seems to rap about it on “Bad One”: “The f—ing bomb with the puffy on/ I’m blowing up for Kid Cudi’s car/ In front of his house where all his buddies are.”
Cassie and Diddy ended up settling the lawsuit less than 24 hours after she filed in November 2023. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed. Diddy and his legal team have vehemently denied all of the sexual misconduct allegations made against him in other lawsuits.
