Elon Musk Accuses Eminem Of Being A Diddy “Party Participant”
Eminem and Barack Obama’s appearance at Kamala Harris’ rally in Detroit was exciting for Democrats, the Black community, and Hip-Hop fans. It wasn’t all universal love, though; Elon Musk, a vocal Donald Trump supporter, learned that this was going down and decided to connect Slim Shady to Diddy.
An X account shared a screenshot of the TMZ article revealing the Detroit rapper would introduce Obama at the rally. The X owner responded to the tweet and wrote, “Yet another Diddy party participant.” Given the controversial mogul’s current arrest and allegations, being linked to him or his parties is damaging to one’s reputation. However, Musk’s anger at the situation caused him to make a statement that was a bit unfounded.
Marshall Mathers has actively spoken out against Puff for some time now. In 2018, on his song “Killshot,” he accused the Bad Boy founder of putting out a hit on 2Pac: “Kells, the day you put out a hit is the day Diddy admits that he put the hit out that got Pac killed.” He is also a close friend of 50 Cent, who has been one of the loudest voices amid the former REVOLT chairman’s allegations, Homeland Security raids, and recent arrest.
This statement gets even more layered and complex when recalling Elon Musk and Diddy’s previous friendship. “I don’t know if you know this, but Puff is an investor in Twitter,” he said in the book Character Limit. “You know, he’s a good friend of mine. We text a lot.” Just two years ago, Musk was also a loud and proud fan of Eminem.
When the SEC compromised his Twitter account, he quoted Em’s track “Without Me” in his court filings, writing, “The [SEC] won’t let me be or let me be me so let me see…” It is unclear what has changed Musk’s dynamic with both men, but it is safe to assume politics plays a large part in that.
Nonetheless, Eminem and Barack Obama’s appearance at the Kamala Harris Detroit rally went off without a hitch. Barry O even rapped some of Eminem’s lyrics from “Lose Yourself” and stated his affinity for him as an artist. Watch the video below.
