Following the announcement, the NFL began teasing an appearance from Em by posting a picture of him and Roger Goodell together, with Slim Shady wearing a Detroit Lions hoodie.

The picture led fans to believe that he will be making an appearance during the draft, whether that be performing with previous collaborator Sean or announcing one of the Lions’ draft picks.

A noted Lions fan, Eminem caused quite a stir earlier this year as his team made an unexpected run deep into the NFL playoffs.

During the NFC Conference Game against the San Francisco 49ers, the self-proclaimed Rap God got into it with with the home fans at Levis Stadium.

A video captured by 49ers fans at the game saw Eminem sticking up his middle fingers at the rival supporters and jibing with sections of the home crowd.

Unfortunately for Em, his antics were unable to have a positive impact on his beloved Lions, who blew a 17-point lead — and the chance to play in the franchise’s first-ever Super Bowl — in a 34-31 loss.

Eminem also jokingly said he would suit up for the team during the playoffs: “Yo, Dan! I’m reporting! I’m gonna report, third quarter. I’m reporting, offensive line. Eligible receiver. I’ll be the quarterback. The entire line, offensive line […] and I will throw it to myself, and I will score a touchdown. In the third quarter.”

He continued: “Just give me a uniform. Or, at least, just, like, a helmet. I already have a helmet. It’s not the one for football. It’s just a helmet.”
