Marshall Bruce Mathers III aka Eminem is one of the most iconic rap figures in the world. The 51-year-old rapper is known for popularizing hip-hop in Middle America and his bold and sometimes controversial lyrics.

Eminem stands out for being fearless in his songs and has spoken out against the controversial music mogul, Sean P. Diddy Combs, on several occasions.

Following the September 2024 arrest of Diddy, fans, and media have begun to find deeper meaning in Eminem’s lyrics directed at Diddy and viewing a part of his discography as a foretelling of Diddy’s arrest in September 2024.

From F**king Crazy to Killshot and Fuel, this article explores some of Eminem’s diss lyrics to Combs.

F**king Crazy, I’m Back and 3 other tracks where Eminem dissed P. Diddy

1) F**king Crazy

Eminem displayed his penchant for bold and fearless lyrics in the 1997 track F**king Crazy. The rap song is reported to be the original version of the hit track, Any Man, from the mixtape Soundbombing II with Eminem credited as a writer.

In F**king Crazy, the Missouri-born rapper disses P. Diddy and seems to reference that he is the original bad boy, a phrase associated with P. Diddy and members of his Bad Boy Records.

He also uses wordplay to suggest that he’d take the music mogul down:

“Original Bad Boy on the case, cover your face/ Came in the place blowed, and sprayed Puffy with Mase/ I laced the weed with insect repellant, better check the smelly,”

2) I’m Back

In the rap-rock song released in May 2000, Mathers uses his alter ego, Slim Shady to express his thoughts on bullying and sticking it up to people in the industry.

I’m Back is the fourth single from The Marshall Mathers LP, written by Eminem, Dr Dre, and Mel-Man. In the song’s third verse, Eminem throws shots at P. Diddy and says he would stand up to him, implying that he doesn’t care about the consequences.

“‘Cause if I ever stuck it to any singer in showbiz/ It’d be Jennifer Lopez and Puffy, you know this/ I’m sorry, Puff, but I don’t give a f**k,”

3) Killshot

Although the Killshot diss track was originally aimed at Machine Gun Kelly, Eminem directs some controversial bars towards Diddy. The hardcore rap track released in September 2018, served as a response to MGK’s diss track, Rap Devil.

In a verse that came as a shock to many, Eminem seems to suggest that P. Diddy had a hand in 2 Pac’s demise.

“But, Kells, the day you put out a hit’s the day Diddy admits/ That he put the hit out that got Pac killed, ah,”

A statement that he quickly dismisses as a joke in the Outro:

“You f**kin’—, oh/ And I’m just playin’, Diddy/ You know I love you,”

4) Godzilla

In the Godzilla track, the Not Afraid hitmaker takes another jab at Diddy, referencing the latter’s reality TV show, Making the Band 2 which aired in the early 2000s.

In one of the episodes, the music executive instructed the show’s contestants—aspiring hip-hop artists, to walk six miles to get him cheesecake.

In the rap song that features Juice WRLD, released in 2020, Mathers likens himself to Godzilla, a fictional sea monster, and uses some P. Diddy references in the third verse to make his point:

“Like Kid Ink, b**ch, I got them racks with so much ease that they call me Diddy/ ‘Cause I make bands and I call getting cheese a cakewalk (Cheesecake, yeah),”

5) Fuel

In his most recent work, Fuel, released in July 2024 from his twelfth studio album, The Death of Slim Shady, the rapper seems to make stronger accusations against Diddy.

In the trap song which features rapper JID, the rappers assert their dominance in the industry and their refusal to be silenced. In Mathers’ verse, he uses wordplay to seemingly call out P. Diddy, which the media has decoded as a foretelling of Diddy’s September 2024 arrest:

“What?)/ I’m like an R-A-P-E-R (Yeah)/ Got so many eses (S-As), eses (Huh)/ Wait, he didn’t just spell the word “rapper” and leave out a P, did he? (Yep),”

Other tracks where the Missouri-born rapper seemingly disses P. Diddy include Marshall Mathers and Antichrist.
