Eminem has been dissed by Elon Musk over his support of Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Barack Obama — and the dig involves none other than Diddy.
On Tuesday (October 22), the Tesla CEO took aim at the rap legend on X — the social media platform he, of course, owns — after it was reported that he would be introducing Obama at a Harris campaign rally in his hometown of Detroit that night.

Responding to a post from the account @AutismCapital that criticized Em for the move, Musk wrote: “Yet another Diddy party participant.”
His comment, which is unsubstantiated, references the intense scrutiny surrounding the Bad Boy boss’ parties following his arrest for sex trafficking and racketeering.

While the mogul was famed for throwing swanky parties attended by A-list celebrities, the criminal case centers on his alleged “freak off” sex sessions where he forced women to have sex with male prostitutes for his pleasure, according to prosecutors.
He is also facing multiple lawsuits accusing him of sexually assaulting fellow partygoers, including minors, throughout his decades-long reign as one of Hip Hop’s most powerful men.

The legal drama has also been used as ammo against Diddy by Eminem himself, who attacked the embattled mogul on his latest album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce).
“I’m like a R-A-P-E-R / Got so many S-As, S-As / Wait, he didn’t just spell the word ‘rapper’ and leave out a P, did he?” he rapped on “Fuel,” playing on Puffy’s former stage name.

Em also referenced the long-running rumor that Diddy was involved in 2Pac’s murder: “R.I.P., rest in peace Biggie / And ‘Pac, both of y’all should be living / But I ain’t tryna beef with him / ‘Cause he might put a hit on me like, ‘Keefe D get him.'”
Elon Musk’s negative reaction to Eminem endorsing Kamala Harris is perhaps no surprise given his vocal support of her presidential opponent Donald Trump.
Earlier this month, the tech magnate revealed plans to give away $1 million each day to voters in Pennsylvania — a key swing state in the election — in an apparent attempt to incentivize support for Trump.
Slim Shady, meanwhile, graced the stage at Harris’ campaign rally in Detroit on Tuesday night where he endorsed the Democratic nominee and introduced Barack Obama to a raptorous crowd.

“I’m here tonight for a couple of important reasons,” he said. “As most of you know, the city of Detroit and the whole state of Michigan mean a lot to me. Going into this election, the spotlight is on us more than ever and I think it’s important to use your voice, so I’m encouraging everyobody to get out and vote, please.”
The “Lose Yourself” MC also explained why he’s backing Harris for president: “I also think that people shouldn’t be afraid to express their opinions, and I don’t think anyone wants an America where people are worried about retribution or what people will do if you make your opinion known.

“I think Vice President Harris supports a future for this country where these freedoms and many others will be protected and upheld.”
