Y’all know Eminem — still the same OG people have been trying to cancel for decades. But evidently, Gen Z is just catching up to Slim Shady’s catalog and were livid when they heard him rap, “If you fucking leave again I’m strap you to this bed and set the house on fire” on his 2010 smash hit “Love The Way You Lie” featuring Rihanna.
Their attempt to “cancel” Em on TikTok spilled over to Twitter, where millennials fiercely defended the diamond-selling MC.
One particular video of a young woman rapping to “Forgot About Dre” — albeit with her own lyrics — went viral and Lil Nas X was one of thousands who pushed play. On Monday (March 8), the “Old Town Road” phenom uploaded his own TikTok video clowning the woman with his own “Forgot About Dre” freestyle.
“Generation Z wants to cancel Eminem?” he raps with an exaggerated cackle. “Generation Z wants to cancel Eminem?/Yeah, listen up, Generation Z, you’re a generation of Z/ Z, generation of Z.”

Eminem appeared to respond to the “cancelation attempt” on Friday (March 5) with a lyric video for the Music To Be Murdered By: Side B track “Tone Deaf.”
“Yeah, I’m sorry (huh?),” he begins. “What did you say? Oh, I can’t hear you/I have an ear infucktion and I cunt finger it out (out, haha)/(I need Auto-Tune).”
Eminem Trends On Twitter After Gen Z TikTokers Try To 'Cancel' Him & Millennials Fight Back
From there, Shady unleashes another lyrical assault that comes with 12 uses of the word “bitch,” nine fucks and at least one muthafuckin’.”
As Shady promised in the tweet announcing the “Tone Deaf” video, he “won’t stop even when [his] hair turns grey” — no matter how many times people try to “cancel” him.
What was the point of this really?
that was very cringe to watch
I believe it was (accurately) making fun of the millennial white woman who spit hot garbage trying to defend em
don’t think the title is correct
I know he is a homosexual but that was gay
Remember when Eminem said “you’re too old let go it’s over” to a guy who was 36? Now he’s almost 50. It’s been time for him to hang it up. He should have retired after the ReUp honestly. Everything after that has hurt his legacy, except maybe “rap god”.
if you rememeber that you are too old to be on here. go back to your nurse home
I don’t know which Eminem stans are the worst, the younger ones or the older ones.
That was a jab at Moby who knew nothing about Slim Shady, pretty sure he still knows nothing about his music today!
Also nobody listens to techno music anymore, I mean nobody.
You’re right about 1 thing, Em is old but he is hellla relevant even at that age.
Sit down dumb ass!
Drake dissed Kid Cudi’s mental health on Two birds, One stone (“Look what happens soon as you talk to me crazy
Is you crazy?”) , his song Hotline Bling(“Why you always touching road? Used to always stay at home
Be a good girl, you was in the zone”), and mentioned Pusha T’s wife on Duppy freestyle(“And I’ma let it ring on you like Virginia Williams”) but no one talks about him or other rappers?
Also IF Lil Nas was actually clowning her then it’s actually kind of hypocritical seeing as how people were defending his Old Town Road song saying that it was a country song when it is CLEARLY a hip hop song first and foremost.
