In one of the Detroit rapper’s new tracks, titled Fuel, Eminem raps about the killing, stating: “But it’s in a holster, I proceed to bust it/ F— around and get popped like Halyna Hutchins.”
Fans and critics alike took to social media to express their outrage over the insensitivity of the lyrics, especially considering Baldwin’s ongoing trial.
Baldwin, who is currently on trial in New Mexico for the death of the late cinematographer, is facing immense scrutiny over the events that led to the unfortunate incident on October 21, 2021.
The Departed actor was a producer and the star of Rust when he shot dead Hutchins, a mother-of-one, while filming with a prop gun that had a live round inside it. The film’s director, Joel Souza, was also injured.
