Was Eminem right all along? Recently, famous rapper Sean Combs, also known as P-Diddy, was arrested for sex trafficking, among other charges. Artists have spoken out against P-Diddy in their songs for his actions and tried to warn us of his behavior, one of the first being Eminem.
Eminem made the first diss track against Diddy, which was taken seriously and blown up. Eminem has a reputation for being fiery and hot-headed, starting beef with Christina Agularia, Machine Gun Kelly, and Mariah Carey, but maybe he has a point about Diddy.
In Eminem’s song “Killshot” in 2018, Eminem says, “Kells, the day you put out a hit is the day Diddy admits that he put the hit out that got Pac killed.” By saying things, he is indicating Diddy was involved in the death of Tupac, a leading rapper in 1990s gangsta rap. In Eminem’s song “Fuel”2024 he says these lyrics, “I’m like a R-A-P-E-R,” and the typo is intentional. “Got so many S-As…Wait, he didn’t just spell the word ‘Rapper’ and leave out a P, did he?” as to say P Diddy.
raps about the sexual assaults that P-Diddy had committed and then says, “R.I.P, rest in peace, Biggie and Pac, both of y’all should be living, but I ain’t tryna beef with him ‘because he might put a hit on me like Keefe D, get him.” He says this because there are rumors that PDiddy and Beyonce were involved in the deaths of Michael Jackson and Left Eye. People have alluded to the circumstances of both deaths to be suspicious around beef with P Diddy specifically. Tupac’s family has requested an investigation into Sean Combs to finalize any connection between Combs and Tupac’s death.
They are also reopening Michael Jackson’s case due to suspicion of foul play. Not only is Eminem speaking up about this, but J Cole’s song “She Knows” is supposedly linked to Beyonce’s last name. “Knowles”, linking to P-Diddy. If you paid attention to Beyonce’s comments, people started to comment “She knows” hinting that she knew what was going on.
Many victims and witnesses are coming forward as faces multiple charges. Today, Sean Combs faces charges including human trafficking, sexual assault, coercing minors, and more.
While Eminem wasn’t the first to realize this, he was one of the first to speak up through his music. Whether or not he was just being petty or spreading awareness, Eminem ultimately played a crucial part in the wide-spreading allegations.
