Tiktokers trying to cancel Eminem received a response from the rapper in the form of a tweeted lyrical video for “Tone Deaf” on Friday.
A few months ago, there was a TikTok featuring a short audio clip from ‘Love the Way You Lie’ by Eminem featuring Rihanna. The lyrics goes:
"If she ever tries to f***ing leave again/I'ma tie her to the bed and set this house on fire."
The entire song is about an abusive relationship. The TikToker was offended by the imagery and wanted to have their fellow Gen Zers cancel Eminem for the song.
Eminem, never a stranger to this kind of controversy, released a tweet reminding everyone of how often this kind of thing happens to him.
The tweet is part of the lyrics to his song "Tone Deaf," where he describes his others trying to cancel him. Eminem has been dealing with others trying to stop his music since he started, so it is no surprise that he has lyrics from newer songs ready.
Eminem's millennial fans have backed him up immediately, and the TikToker campaign to cancel him has died just as quickly as it came. Eminem is a big name in the rap industry and is allied with many other rappers as well as being loved by fans. It will take a lot more than a few offended listeners to take him down.

TikTokers aren't the first people to try and cancel Eminem
Since stepping into the music industry in 1998, Eminem has offended many. Normally, it is the older generation who cannot stand kids using violent or obscene imagery. It is strange to see the younger tiktokers take offense to Eminem.
Eminem isn’t the kind of rapper who makes offensive content just to make offensive content. Many would consider Eminem’s content as “real” or a slice of how he sees things. Unlike many who try to find clout, this rapper just tries to tell a story.
This wasn’t the first time the rapper has been on the news for offending listeners and it most likely won’t be the last.
