There’s only one Slim Shady, and Eminem wants to keep it that way!
Marshall Mathers, better known by his stage name, is one of the greatest entertainers in the music industry. The lyrical genius takes rap to a new level with his unique ability to believe and impressive speed.
To this day, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee remains the undisputed GOAT of the Hip-hop scene, inspiring others to pursue the same dreams. However, the Missouri native does not appreciate politicians using his songs to promote their agenda.
Eminem Cancels Vivek Ramaswamy’s Right To Perform His Music While Campaigning For President
The 50-year-old entertainer recently clashed with Republican Vivek Ramaswamy after the 2024 presidential candidate showed off his rapping skills using an Eminem song. The Hip-hop star called out the aspiring lawmaker following his performance at the Iowa State Fair.

As reported by the DailyMail, the founder of Roivant Sciences attended an early morning rally to speak with Iowa Republican Governor Kim Reynolds. When the Cincinnati native was asked for his favorite song to come out, the 38-year-old cited Eminem’s “Lose Yourself.”
Soon after, the 2002 track started playing over the loudspeakers, and Ramaswamy entertained the crowd with an impressive performance. The viral campaign moment caught Eminem’s attention, and he quickly addressed the situation through his legal team
Eleven days after the Republican’s Iowa State Fair performance, a cease-and-desist letter was sent to the entrepreneur’s campaign attorney. The written communication dated August 23 was written by a reporter for music licensor, BMI.
Part of the statement read: “BMI has received a communication from Marshall B. Mathers III, professionally known as Eminem, objecting to the Vivek Ramaswamy campaign’s use of Eminem’s musical compositions (‘Eminem Works’) and requesting that BMI remove all Eminem Works from the agreement. “
The representative said the letter served as a notice of immediate exclusion of the “Mockingbird” music hitmaker from Ramaswamy’s presidential campaign and warned the politician’s legal team to comply with their instructions.
“BMI will consider any performance of the Eminem Works by the Vivek 2024 campaign from this date onwards as a serious breach of the Agreement in respect of which BMI reserves all rights and remedies,” the message concluded.
Responding to the cease-and-desist letter, a spokesperson for the Campus Venture Network co-founder’s campaign implied that the Republican was not offended. “Vivek just went on stage and missed. To the disappointment of the American people, we had to leave the rapping to the really slim ones,” quipped the individual.
Earlier this month, the father of two expressed his admiration for the “Angry Blonde” author and how he felt about the entertainer’s story. “I didn’t grow up in the situation he did. But the idea of being the underdog, people who have low expectations of you, that part speaks to me,” the presidential candidate said.
Some Of The Unconventional Beliefs Of The ‘Victim Nation’ Author
Before being slapped with a cease and desist letter from Eminem, the billionaire had gained attention for sharing unpopular opinions on certain subjects. According to BBC News, the Republican sees himself as “an outsider willing to develop former President Donald Trump’s “America First” agenda with his own personal spin.”
To achieve this, Ramaswamy has some unique proposals that he believes must be adopted. Some of the media personality’s beliefs include the voting age, which the 38-year-old stated should be 25.
Under the entrepreneurs’ agenda, those 18 and older will be allowed to vote if they meet “national service requirements.” This means they must either be an emergency first responder or have at least six months of military service.
Those outside this category but over the age of 18 can also vote if they pass the same test given to those seeking US citizenship. Another of Ramaswamy’s unpopular opinions involved the Ukraine war.

The co-founder of Strive Asset Management is against helping war-torn countries. “I think that by fighting further in Russia, by further arming Ukraine, we are taking Russia into the hands of China,” explained the businessman.
As for the best way to end the conflict, the father of two believes Ukraine must make “some major concessions to Russia.” This includes “freezing the current line of control in the Korean War-style armistice agreement.”
