Turns out he was just imitating.
Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has announced he will no longer be playing Eminem’s music on the campaign trail after receiving a cease-and-desist letter from the rapper’s music licensor.
“Yeah, look, I think I’ll respect his wishes, but I’ll just say, will the real Slim Shady please stand up?” Ramaswamy, 38, told MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell on Tuesday, referring to Eminem’s alter ego and his 2000 hit song.
Ramaswamy’s campaign team received a cease-and-desist letter from music licensing company BMI 11 days after the biotech entrepreneur spit several bars of the artist formerly known as Marshall Mathers’ 2002 hit “Lose Yourself” at the Iowa State Fair, in response. to Governor Kim Reynolds asking Ramaswamy to name his favorite exit song.
BMI informed the campaign that it had “received 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 asking BMI to remove all Eminem Works from the Agreement.”
The company demanded that Ramaswamy no longer perform Eminem songs on the campaign trail.
