Porn star featured in Eminem’s new music video calls out unpaid compensation
Adult entertainment star Ryan Keely tweeted Eminem asking to be paid for her role in the ‘Houdini’ video
A porn star who featured in Eminem’s latest music video has publicly requested to be paid for her appearance.
Adult entertainment actor Ryan Keely made the post on X, tagging both Eminem and production company Synapse Virtual Production.
She wrote: “Hey @Eminem thank you making magic happen and including me in Houdini. Surreal! So cool.
“Can you do one more trick and get @SynapseVpGlobal to send me my check?”
Keely appeared briefly in the music video for the rapper’s latest single ‘Houdini’, which was released on May 31.

While her appearance on camera may have been brief, further tweets underneath the original post reinforced that this does not represent how much work goes into such a shoot.
One fan asked Keely: “How much time did hairdresser take to get this hair job?”
She replied: “Dude it was gnars! 3 bags of clip in extension and then they added a 4th bag of tape-in extensions let’s call it the the hair-pièce de résistance.”
Many people piled onto social media to share their thoughts on Keely’s request.

One person commented: “I mean the company should pay her. He’s not in charge of that but that absolutely should happen.”
Another questioned how long she had appeared in the video, writing: “How much do you expect to get paid for a second in a video?”
But they were quickly shut down, with someone else replying: “She booked that time off for a shoot. Got there. Had makeup put on. Received acting directions and acted.
“Plus, they likely did several (if not more) takes in order to shoot what you see as a few seconds.”

Meanwhile, one user said simply: “She should get paid though.”
‘Houdini’ forms a part of the rapper’s upcoming album, The Death of Slim Shady.
This has drawn comment over its apparent intention to move away from the iconic alter ego which has been a part of Eminem’s music for decades.
Hear the song below. Warning: Explicit Language:
The alter ego first appeared in the single ‘My Name Is’ and has formed an integral part of Eminem’s discography ever since.
So releasing an album which appears to foreshadow ‘the death of Slim Shady’ is quite a big deal.
It opens up a lot of questions about the future direction of Eminem’s career, with some fans worried the musician might be retiring soon.
Rap Devotees has reached out to representatives of Synapse Virtual Production, Eminem, and Ryan Keely for comment.
