Eminem Criticized for Rapping About Lizzo’s Weight in His Latest Album; Fans Warn of Possible ‘Cancel Culture’ Backlash

After mocking Lizzo in the song “Road Rage,” rapper Eminem has sparked a divided reaction among fans on social media. Eminem is no stranger to being the center of attention. Some of his most famous and enduring songs have been quite controversial. Oh, oh, the guilt…

Since the release of his latest album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce), on Friday, July 12, many have anticipated that he would criticize other celebrities—indeed, almost everyone.

Houdini even angered some Megan Thee Stallion fans with a lyric in his song released earlier this year. Fans of the rapper are now speculating that, because he took a jab at Lizzo in his song “Road Rage,” he might incite anger from Lizzo’s fans.

He continually jokes throughout the verse and vows to stay true to himself despite what others think might come as revenge. Many on social media find the jabs at Lizzo humorous, but there are also predictions of a backlash against the musician.

Eminem further discusses his perspective on the body-positive movement in the song, potentially reflecting the views of Slim Shady, his alter ego. He continually jokes throughout the verse and vows to stay true to himself despite concerns about potential retaliation.

While many on social media find the mockery of Lizzo funny, there are also predictions of a strong reaction against the artist. “Haha, not even the body-positive movement and LIZZO are spared. Here, Slim Shady and Eminem are just speaking the truth, so I can understand why some might find it hard to accept!” commented a Twitter user.
