Social media is sharing mixed reactions after Eminem name-dropped Megan Thee Stallion on his new song, ‘Houdini.’
On Friday, May 31, Eminem released his latest single, ‘Houdini,’ which is featured on his upcoming album, ‘The Death of Slim Shady,’ per Billboard.
In the early hours of Friday morning, Em also released the official music video for ‘Houdini’ via YouTube. Furthermore, the video featured star-studded cameos from the likes of Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Pete Davidson.
Despite the star-studded appearances, one figure who wasn’t featured in the video caught the attention of the masses.
About a minute and eight seconds into the track, Em named dropped Megan by rapping:
“If I was to ask for Megan Thee / Stallion if she would collab with me / Would I really have a shot at a feat?”
Social media users reacted to Em’s bar about Meg in The Shade Room’s comment section. Many appeared conflicted about whether the rapper was showing Megan love by requesting a feature. Or, if he was dissing her with a double entendre of her being shot in her foot in 2020, per The Shade Room.
Instagram user @fuel4thebody wrote, “If you don’t know what a double entendre is, just say that.”
Megan Thee Stallion has yet to publicly react to Eminem name-dropping her. As The Shade Room previously reported, earlier this week, the 29-year-old’s lawyers responded on her behalf to a harassment lawsuit filed against her in April.
The lawsuit was filed by the rapper’s ex-photographer, Emilio Garcia, who accused Meg of having sex in front of him and creating a “hostile, abusive work environment,” per The Shade Room.
Furthermore, the photographer alleged that Megan prohibited him from speaking out about his grievances before his payouts from her decreased, and he was wrongfully terminated.
Meg’s lawyer initially responded by calling the lawsuit an “employment claim for money,” per The Shade Room.
Then, earlier this week, Meg’s lawyers officially responded to the suit in a court filing, per The Shade Room. The attorneys asserted that Garcia is a “con artist” whose suit is “fabricated.”
Additionally, the attorneys reportedly shared that they believe the suit was wrongly filed in California and are requesting the case be transferred to a federal court.
