Eminem Apologizes to Kids, References Alec Baldwin and 'Rust' Shooting On New Album

Eminem is facing backlash for his lyrics about Alec Baldwin and 'Rust' shooting: "F**k around and get popped like Halyna Hutchins."

The 51-year-old rapper is facing backlash on social media over a reference to Alec Baldwin's Rust shooting on his new album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), which was released on Friday. The album additionally features collaborations with Jelly Roll, White Gold, Sly Pyper, JID, Dem Jointz, Ez Mil, Skylar Grey, Big Sean and BabyTron. The song heavily samples Jelly Roll's 2023 hit, "Save Me," and opens with a recording of Eminem shrugging off a younger version of his daughter Alaina’s pleas for him to come eat with her, after which the "Halfway To Hell" musician’s voice jumps in.
