Eminem sparks controversy with a diss aimed at Lizzo in his new album

Eminem fans are wary people will try to ‘cancel’ the rapper over the songs on his latest album

Rapper Eminem has divided listeners on social media after taking a dig at Lizzo on his song Road Rage

Eminem isn’t a stranger to controversy. In fact some of his most iconic and memorable songs are pretty controversial. Cough, cough, guilty conscious…

So, with the release of his latest album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce) on Friday (July 12), many were expecting the rapper to fire shots at other celebs and essentially anyone in all honesty.

With the release of his song early in the year, Houdini, even managed to p*** off some fans of Megan Thee Stallion fans with one line.

In his song Road Rage, the rapper’s fans are now predicting he could face the ire of Lizzos fans for a jab at the music star.

During the song Eminem raps: “They’re tryna make my mouth closed like it’s clothing (What?)

“This what it is though, but this is show biz, so things. Ain’t never really truly over ’til Lizzo sings (Like I won’t say that).

In the verse Eminem continued to voice his (or possibly his alter ego Slim Shady’s) views on the body-positive movement.

He continues to joke through the verse and says he’ll continue to be honest about it despite the perceptions he could face a backlash.

On social media many did find the jab at Lizzo funny but are expecting a bit of a pushback against the rapper.

“Hahaha not even LIZZO and the movement is spared. Here Slim Shady/Eminem spit nothing but truths, and I understand why it’s hard for some people to stomach it!,” one user wrote on Twitter.

“Lizzy banter from Eminem, and I’m here for it,” another added.

“The show ain’t over till Lizzo sings nah Eminem wilding again,” wrote another.

“Eminem is going to make some people mad because of the road rage song, lol,” commented a fourth”

Lizzo hasn’t addressed the diss in the track and chances are she probably wont.

The singer has been candid about her weight in the past and has described herself as a ‘fat woman’.

Speaking in 2022, the singer told People magazine: “I know I’m fat. It doesn’t bother me. I like being fat, and I’m beautiful and I’m healthy. So can we move on?”

She added: “I think I have a really hot body! I’m a body icon, and I’m embracing that more and more every day.”
