Elon Musk calls Eminem a ‘Diddy partygoer’ as Barack Obama performs ‘Lose Yourself’ at rally: Here’s what went down

Elon Musk has found himself in the middle of controversy again after claiming that rapper Eminem was present at parties hosted by music executive Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is facing serious criminal charges, including allegations of sexual abuse and orchestrating drug-fueled meetings. Those allegations against Combs emerged last month, accusing him of exploiting women through threats and coercion.

What did Musk say?

Musk’s claims followed closely after Eminem introduced former US President Barack Obama during a high-profile event for Kamala Harris in Detroit. During his speech, Obama also rapped Eminem’s ‘Lose Yourself’, going viral around the world almost instantly.

Musk, a vocal supporter of Donald Trump, Harris’ Republican opponent in the upcoming presidential election, took to X (formerly Twitter) to make the allegations.

“Another attendee at Diddy’s party,” Musk posted in response to a claim that Eminem had referenced anti-gay violence in his lyrics.

What charges does Diddy face?

Sean Combs, widely known as “Diddy,” was arrested last month on charges of sex trafficking and extortion. Lawyers for the alleged victims have claimed that many celebrities were regular guests at Diddy’s notorious parties.

Allegations against Diddy have been piling up since last year, when singer Cassie accused him of subjecting her to more than a decade of abuse, including coercion through drugs and an alleged rape in 2018. Diddy has denied the charges and will face trial in May. 2025

How did Eminem’s fans react?

In response to Musk’s remarks, Eminem’s fan base quickly defended the rapper, noting that Eminem has long been critical of Diddy. “Em (Eminem) never attended and has always been against Diddy. Do your research Elon,” one fan posted on X. Another added that Eminem’s rants against Diddy date back to the 1990

It has been speculated that Eminem’s latest album ‘The Death of Slim Shady’ contains more research on Diddy.
