Eminem is both apologetic and shameless on his new album. 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. In a track titled "Fuel," Eminem includes insensitive lyrics about the victim: "F**k around and get popped like Halyna Hutchins .
" On Friday, Baldwin's trial was dismissed with prejudice . The 66-year-old actor was standing trial for one count of involuntary manslaughter in connection to the fatal shooting of Rust cinematographer Hutchins on the set of his film in October 2021. Rust director Joel Souza was also injured.
"Clutchin' the nine millimeter, tuckin' the heat / Got the toaster like an English muffin / No, I mean, 'Toast to' like you drink to somethin' But it's in a holster, I proceed to bust it," Eminem raps. "F**k around and get popped like Halyna Hutchins / Like I'm Alec Baldwin, what I mean is buckin' you down, coup de grâce then / Right between the f**kin' / I shoot 'em all in if you think you're f**kin' with me." He continues, "You’re gonna suffer the f**kin' repercussions / The reaper's comin' to heathen and I need it from me / I keep replenishing fuel while the beat I'm punishin.
'" Eminem also includes songs that feature lines about Megan Thee Stallion, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Candace Owens, Kanye West, Jeffrey Epstein and many more. The album additionally features collaborations with Jelly Roll, White Gold.
