Since he first entered the rap scene, Eminem has made fun of a lot of famous people, but he has been making fun of Diddy for more than 20 years.
You can tell that Eminem isn’t scared to make fun of people if you’ve listened to him even a bit.
The hip hop legend has established a reputation for being forthright in his remarks and jokes about other celebrities, whether he is making fun of them or using venom and vim.
Diddy, actual name Sean Combs, who is currently facing numerous sex trafficking and racketeering accusations, is one individual he has been disparaging for years. The artist has refuted every accusation leveled at him.
Eminem has been criticizing Diddy for years, but many others have already followed suit.
And he hit out at Combs in multiple tracks on his latest LP The Death of Slim Shady too.
(1996): ‘F crazy’
“Original Bad Boy on the case, cover your face. Came in the place blowed, and sprayed Puffy with Mase.”
A tongue-in-cheek remark directed at Diddy and fellow rapper Mase
(2000): ‘Marshall Mathers’
“You little groupie b**, get off me, go fk Puffy.”
By this time, Eminem had made a name for himself as a youthful musician who was prepared to challenge business titans like Diddy.
(2000): “I’m Back”
Cause if I ever stuck it to any singer in showbiz. It’d be Jennifer Lopez and Puffy, you know this. I’m sorry, Puff, but I don’t give a f**k.”
This seemed to be a reference to the relationship between Diddy and Jennifer Lopez, which lasted from 1999 to 2001, and Eminem’s desire to be intimate with the singer.
Eminem’s jabs at Diddy’s seemed to take on a more somber tone at the end of the 2010s, even though his earlier bars were crude and might be viewed as fairly lighthearted.
(2018): ‘Killshot’
“Kells, the day you put out a hit is the day Diddy admits that he put the hit out that got Pac killed.”
Admittedly, Eminem did end the song by saying ‘I’m just playing, Diddy, you know I love you,’. This suggested he might not have believed what he was rapping, despite Diddy and B.I.G. having a well-documented beef with west coast rappers, most notably Tupac.
(2020): ‘Godzilla’
“They call me Diddy because I make bands, and I call getting cheese a cakewalk.”
This bar is a huge homage to Diddy’s Making the Band reality TV program on MTV in the early 2000s. Prospective singers or musicians would vie for the producer’s next big musical ensemble.
Diddy forced the group members to walk six miles round-trip across the Brooklyn Bridge in one notorious episode in order to get him a piece of cheesecake from a particular bakery.
This incident wasn’t received well by viewers, as some deemed it humiliating and pointless, despite Diddy saying he wanted to test their commitment and resilience.
The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce), the rapper’s most recent album, seemed to make reference to Diddy’s ongoing legal issues and charges.
(2024): “Fuel”
“Notorious B.I.G.’s death was the domino effect of 2Pac’s murder, like facial tissue, whose clock should I clean next? Puff’s?”
“Til he’s in police handcuffs, guilty, will he step up?”
Additionally, he added from the same song:
“A R-A-P-E-R. Got so many S-As, S-As. Wait, he didn’t just spell RAPPER and leave out a P, did he?…”
Given the rapper and producer’s current legal troubles, the song feels a little less allusive and more predictive.
(2024) – ‘Antichrist’
“Next idiot ask me is getting his ass beat worse than Diddy did — But on the real, though, she probably ran out the room with his f**king dildo.”
A reference to the world-shocking Cassie and Diddy video and the accusations of sexual assault against the Bad Boy record producer.
