Conservative pundit Candace Owens has responded sharply to Eminem after he targeted her in one of his latest songs. In his most recent release, “Music to Be Murdered By: Side B,” the artist singles out Owens in the song “Zeus,” with lyrics that indirectly critique her, suggesting “But I’m 48 now, so I’m not as mad / Still can make your skin look like it’s on a bad tan, like Candace Owens.”
Reacting to the mention, Owens took to Twitter, expressing her reaction playfully and acknowledging the shoutout from Eminem. She tweeted, “I’m now honored to be dissed by @Eminem. 2nd time’s the charm! Thanks for the shoutout! I’m a HUGE fan of your music—you’re one of the greatest rappers of all time. I’m flattered that you know I exist.”
Previously, Eminem also mentioned Owens unfavorably in his 2018 album “Kamikaze,” indicating her repeated appearance in his lyrical crosshairs over recent years. This ongoing dialogue through music highlights the interactions between the political and entertainment spheres, with each figure using their respective platforms to engage and express their views.
