Eminem is facing backlash for rapping about Megan Thee Stallion‘s shooting on his new song “Houdini.”

Eminem Raps About Megan Thee Stallion on “Houdini”

On Friday (May 31), Eminem returned with his new song “Houdini.” As fans dove in to the track, they noticed that Em name-dropped Megan Thee Stallion in the track’s first verse, and appeared to reference her being shot in the feet by Tory Lanez.

“If I was to ask for Megan Thee Stallion if she would collab with me/Would I really have a shot at a feat?” Em spits.

The track upset a plethora of Megan Thee Stallion supporters, who came out in droves on social media to condemn Em for seemingly making light of the Houston Hottie’s 2020 shooting.

“Now why that b***h shading Meg?” one supporter wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“This is so disrespectful,” another added.

“Houdini” officially kickstarted the rollout of Em’s 12th studio album. The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce). The lead single is named after famed escape artist Harry Houdini and samples Steve Miller Band’s 1982 song “Abracadabra.”
