Eminem riled up and taunted San Francisco 49ers fans during their NFC Conference game against Slim Shady’s own Detroit Lions.
Eminem attended the crunch game at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday (January 28) and decided to mix it up with the home fans when they saw him in the executive seats.

A video captured by 49ers fans at the game saw Em sticking up his middle fingers at the rival supporters and jibing with sections of the home crowd.
Unfortunately for the Rap God, 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.

It means the 49ers will face off against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in Las Vegas on February 11, where Usher will provide the halftime entertainment.
Though the Lions came up short, Eminem accepted defeat gracefully as he wrote on social media after the game: “So proud of the @Lions Thanks 4 an amazing season!!!! We’ll b back!!!”

50 Cent also reacted to the Lions’ loss on social media, posting the picture of Eminem flipping off 49ers fans on Instagram and writing: “Detroit is not feeling good right now! @eminem [facepalm emoji] Damn that was a good game.”
49ers fan ScHoolboy Q had quite a different reaction to the game, writing on X (formerly Twitter): “9ers u fucking BitcH!!!!!!!!! All dat purdy Hate.”

E-40 and Money Man were also seen celebrating on the field with the players and their families after the victory.
Eminem has been a vocal supporter of the Lions in recent weeks as they made an unlikely push towards the Super Bowl.
After his hometown team defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Divisional round earlier this month, Em retweeted a post on X of his 8 Mile character cruising with his crew.
The original tweet read: “Goff and the Lions pulling up to the NFC Championship game,” comparing Lions quarterback Jared Goff to Em’s battle rapper character B-Rabbit.

The rap legend then reposted the image alongside his own caption: “Can’t believe I did it again!!! @Lions.”
Eminem was also in person at Ford Field to fire up the Lions crowd. During the game, a tweet from the rapper saying: “Let’s f****** go!!!!! Detroit @Lions” was shown on the stadium’s massive video board, before the Jumbotron camera cut to the man himself.

Em wasted no time amping up his fellow Lions devotees, getting up out of his seat and letting out a mighty roar while flexing like the Hulk and pounding his chest.
