When it comes to the rap game, Eminem’s always hailed as the godfather, no question. And isn’t it just wild to think that the Mockingbird singer gave Drake a heads-up four years back before that legendary Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake showdown rocked the scene?
Given his own experiences in the hip-hop scene and the treatment he received, it seems the rapper has been watching out for Drake for quite some time now.
Eminem Successfully Predicted Drake’s Current Situation in The Hip-Hop Scene Four Years Ago
What goes up must come down. In a notable track from his 2020 album Music to Be Murdered By: Side B, Eminem offered some intriguing insights, particularly aimed at hip-hop’s current frontrunner, Drake. In Zeus, Eminem candidly addresses the fickleness of fans, cautioning Drake that despite his current reign, the tides could turn. He expressed his thoughts through the lines,
“And, Drake, they’re gonna turn on you one day too / And the more you win, the sooner they do,”
Reflecting on his own journey, Eminem shared his encounters with critics throughout his illustrious career. He dived into the reality of facing scrutiny, with lines like,
“They’ll be calling you a trash bin / Sayin’ that your new one isn’t better than your last and / Even if it is, once they start to turn their backs / They ain’t never comin’ back in.”
Drawing parallels to his own experiences, Eminem also mentioned Chance the Rapper and Migos, artists who’ve encountered similar shifts in public perception.
Notably, Drake has remained in favor in Eminem’s eyes, particularly following this incident. In an exclusive interview with Sway, Eminem expressed his ongoing support for Drake, emphasizing their mutual respect and camaraderie.
“Drake is always gonna be in my good graces because he did something for one of my daughter’s that I will never forget,–He will always be in my graces with that. And I like Drake.”

While Eminem undoubtedly dominated the 2010s, the recent decade has witnessed a shift in the rap landscape, with emerging stars stealing the spotlight. Concurrently, media scrutiny of Eminem has intensified in recent years, a fact he openly discussed in the same candid conversation with Sway. He said,
“It’s not like I can’t take constructive criticism, but I feel like it went beyond constructive criticism,”
Now, with the Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake battle unfolding, fans are finally grasping the true significance behind Eminem’s words.
