Eminem, the controversial rap icon, has once again sparked a heated feud, this time with political commentator Candace Owens. The drama unfolded on Eminem’s latest album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce), where he took direct aim at Owens in tracks “Lucifer” and “Bad One.”
In “Lucifer,” Eminem unleashed scathing lyrics aimed at Owens, leaving no stone unturned. He rapped, “And Candice O, I ain’t mad at her / I ain’t gon’ throw the fact b—- forgot she was Black back at her / Laugh at her, like them crackers she’s backin’ after.” The 51-year-old rapper also referred to Owens as a “MAGA dirtbag in a skirt” and humorously used nicknames like “Grand Wizard,” “Klandace,” and “Grand Dragon,” hinting at provocative scenarios involving Owens.
Following the album’s release, Candace Owens fired back with an eight-minute response on her YouTube channel. She branded Eminem a “lefty elitist” and accused him of “cosplaying a race that you aren’t.” Owens didn’t hold back, asserting, “You’re so irrelevant, your music isn’t good anymore.” She playfully referred to him as “granddad Shady” and suggested retirement might be on the horizon for the rapper.
This latest clash isn’t the first between Eminem and Owens. Last year, Owens criticized Eminem’s age and speculated about his sexuality after he issued a cease-and-desist letter to then-Republican presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy for using his music during a campaign. Owens quipped, “Yes, Eminem might be gay.”
The Death of Slim Shady features 19 tracks and includes collaborations with artists such as Big Sean, BabyTron, and Dr. Dre. Eminem’s lyrical prowess remains as sharp as ever, and fans eagerly await whether Owens will respond with her own diss track.
