Eminem's Megan Thee Stallion Lyric In 'Houdini' Riles Fans On Social Media
HuffPost
Eminem, known for his misogynistic and violent lyrics, has joined the growing list of rappers who've joked about Tory Lanez shooting Megan Thee Stallion.
Eminem joined the growing list of rappers who have joked about Megan Thee Stallion being shot in her feet by Tory Lanez, and some social media users aren’t happy about it.
On his song “Houdini,” Eminem, 51, rapped, “If I was to ask for Megan Thee Stallion, if she would collab with me/Would I really have a shot at a feat?”
It’s a play on words (“feat” is short for “featured,” as in a featured guest artist on a track, and also a homophone for “feet”).
In 2022, Lanez, 31, shot Megan, 29, in her feet. After a two-week trial in Los Angeles, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Lanez’s supporters, including rappers Drake, 50 Cent and Nicki Minaj, have attacked and mocked Megan in the aftermath of the shooting and Lanez’s subsequent conviction.
Eminem has long been known for his misogynistic and violent lyrics — a pattern that continued with “Houdini,” as critics expressed particular disapproval of his jab at Megan.
