Eminem is known as “The Real Slim Shady,” but he apparently thinks GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is the really shady one.
The rapper’s lawyers recently reached out to BMI, which licenses music for various purposes, and demanded it revoke the Republican presidential candidate’s license to use his music at campaign events.
Ramaswamy, 38, has been known to bust out a few verses of Eminem’s Oscar-winning song, “Lose Yourself,” at events, but the Aug. 23 letter sent to his campaign says that the message “serves as notice that the Eminem Works are excluded from the Agreement effective immediately.″
In addition, the letter says, “BMI will consider any performance of the Eminem Works by the Vivek 2024 campaign from this date forward to be a material breach of the Agreement for which BMI reserves all rights and remedies with respect thereto.”
You can see the letter below.
A rep for Ramaswamy has told TMZ, “Vivek just got on the stage and cut loose. To the American people’s chagrin, we will have to leave the rapping to the real slim shady.”
