Marshall Bruce Mathers III, known as Eminem, has returned with a throwback vibe. The 51-year-old rapper dropped his latest track, “Houdini,” part of his twelfth album titled ‘The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce).’ In this release, Eminem references Megan Thee Stallion and alludes to the incident involving Tory Lanez, who shot her in the feet. The lyrics reflect:
“If I were to ask Megan Thee Stallion to collaborate with me, would I stand a chance? I’m not sure, but I’m glad to be back.”
The incident occurred in 2020 at Kylie Jenner’s residence, leading to Tory Lanez being convicted of first-degree assault with a firearm, reckless discharge of a firearm, and carrying a concealed weapon. He was sentenced to ten years in prison in August 2023. During the trial, Lanez reportedly reacted angrily after Megan criticized his rapping abilities.
While Eminem’s song is rich in visual storytelling and interactive music elements, it’s his mention of this incident that has garnered significant attention. Following the shooting, Megan underwent surgery to remove shrapnel from her body. Opinions on social media vary, with some brushing off Eminem’s jabs as typical for the provocative artist who has won fifteen Grammys. Others argue that bringing up such a sensitive matter in his lyrics crosses a line.

One commenter remarked,
“Yeah, that was appalling, especially from an adult. Completely uncalled for.”
The track’s title, “Houdini,” pays homage to the renowned escape artist Harry Houdini.
Interestingly, this song arrives shortly after Tory Lanez appealed his guilty verdict in Megan’s shooting case. Earlier, he had expressed care for her and described her as a friend, appealing for leniency from Judge David Herriford.
