Detroit, Michigan – Eminem’s new song, “Houdini,” released on May 31, features controversial lyrics aimed at various targets, including Megan Thee Stallion, trans people, and RuPaul. The rapper, known for his provocative style, also takes a humorous jab at his own children in the song, showing no one is safe from his disses, not even his family.
In the song, Eminem challenges his audience and his longtime manager, Paul Rosenberg, daring them to “cancel” him while delivering edgy lines like, “Snake ass prick, you male cross dresser, fake ass b—- / And I’ll probably get s— for that.” He doesn’t shy away from poking fun at his three kids, Hailie Jade Scott, Alaina Scott, and Stevie Laine Scott, jokingly calling them “brats” and telling them to “screw off.”
The accompanying music video for “Houdini” features a comic book-inspired storyline where Eminem receives a call from Dr. Dre, warning him of a younger version of himself arriving in 2024 and potentially ruining his career. The video includes cameos from celebrities like Pete Davidson, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, and comedian Shane Gillis, culminating in a battle between Eminem and his younger self.
Despite the playful portrayal of his children in the video, Eminem shares a close bond with them in real life. Recently, he was seen dancing with his daughter, Hailie, at her wedding to Evan McClintock, showcasing a heartwarming moment between the father and daughter. Hailie, who hosts the podcast “Just a Little Shady,” has been open about her relationship with her famous father and the challenges of growing up in the spotlight.
In a candid podcast episode, Hailie addressed questions about her father, expressing a mix of understanding and frustration at the public’s curiosity about her family life. She reflected on her experiences growing up in the spotlight and how she has come to navigate the attention surrounding her relationship with Eminem.
Through his new song and music video, Eminem continues to push boundaries and provoke discussions, showcasing his unapologetic and bold approach to music and storytelling. As fans and critics alike dissect his latest work, the rapper remains a compelling figure in the music industry, leaving a lasting impact on listeners worldwide.
