Eminem Criticizes Candace Owens on New Album, The Death of Slim Shady.
Eminem is not a stranger to public feuds and has certainly been in the spotlight plenty of times because of his feuds with celebrities like Snoop Dogg, Insane Clown Posse, and Nick Cannon, and now he has added conservative pundit Candace Owens to his list of adversaries.
In “Lucifer,” the sixth track of his newly released album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace), Eminem raps, “And Candace O, I ain’t mad at her. I ain’t gon’ throw the fact b**ch forgot she was Black back at her, laugh at her like them crackers she’s backin’ after her back is turned.”
Continuing his rant, Eminem, 51, labels Owens a “MAGA dirtbag in a skirt” and dubs her with nicknames such as “Grand Wizard,” “Klandace,” and “Grand Dragon.” Eminem also mentions Owens on “Bad One,” his latest album’s 16th track, accusing her of “turning her back on her own race.”

Candace Owens Retorts by Calling Eminem “Grandpa Shady.”
Owens has been quick to respond and has retorted back on Eminem’s criticism by calling him “Grandpa Shady.”
“I was honored when Dave Chapelle made fun of me, because Chapelle is in his prime. Grandpa Shady is just depressing to me. Eminem should retire or evolve,” she said.
A vocal supporter of Donald Trump and critic of the Black Lives Matter movement, Owens added, “He is clearly stealing from Black Twitter, calling me Klandace, to pander to Black people, and it’s not going to work. What is just as sad is he is calling white MAGA supporters ‘crackers.’ He is clearly the one who hates his own race. What happened to the Eminem who rapped about two trailer park girls going round the outside? It’s sad!”

Owens also took to her YouTube channel shortly after the album’s release, labeling Eminem an “out-of-touch elitist” and referring to him as “the white rapper that we all used to listen to when we were prepubescent and wanted to feel edgy.”
The feud between Owens and Eminem has been brewing since August 2023, when Eminem sent American businessman Vivek Ramaswamy a cease-and-desist letter to stop the then-Republican presidential hopeful from using his music during his campaign.

Following the letter, Owens criticized Eminem on her YouTube channel, mocking his age and speculating about his sexuality.
“Some people say that when we get older, we get grayer. That’s true,” she said at the time. “But for Eminem, the once hardcore rapper, it seems that he is getting older and gayer. Yes, Eminem might be gay.”
