It seems like every day someone new is being a victim of cancel culture. Whether it be over 10-year-old tweets or song lyrics, the newer generation seems hell-bent on getting certain people out of here. Recently, a new campaign to cancel Eminem came about on TikTok, after a group of Gen-Z’ers found offense with a line in his 2010 hit song with Rihanna “Love The Way You Lie.”
The line in question: “If she ever tries to f**king leave again/I’mma tie her to the bed and set this house on fire.”
In an apparent response to those trying to cancel him, Eminem dropped visuals for his Music To Be Murdered By track “Tone Deaf.” In the caption, he quoted a part from the song where he raps “I won’t stop even when my hair turns grey, ’cause they won’t stop until they cancel me.”

Upon hearing that people were trying to cancel the rap legend, support seemed to skew heavily in Eminem’s favor.
