Multi-platinum rapper Eminem is one of the most famous people in Detroit. He even hosted Sunday Night Football for his hometown Lions earlier this month. This came after the team hosted its first playoff game in 30 years this season.
But for Sunday’s NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers, Eminem was a visitor. With the game taking place in San Francisco, the superstar rapper was in enemy territory. He responded accordingly. A 49ers fan caught the rapper throwing double birds at fans at Levi’s Stadium.

Detroit rapper revives rap
The Detroit rapper doesn’t seem to mince words these days. Eminem is known for his skill with the microphone and has emerged victorious in several rap battles throughout his career. The “8 Mile” actor is still trying to add another rapper to his hit list.
In his final verse of the song Doomsday Pt. 2, the Detroit native takes aim at legendary rapper and producer Benzino. Benzino is also the father of upcoming R&B artist Coi Leray.
“What is the opposite of Benzino? A giraffe / ‘Go for his neck’, how the fuck is that? / How can I attack something he doesn’t have? / An arm so short it can’t even touch his hands / When they’re above his head doing jumping jacks,” he said.
G-Unit rapper pays tribute to Eminem
Eminem has been in the headlines a lot lately. During a recent episode of the popular podcast, “Joe Budden Podcast,” the multi-platinum rapper was a topic of discussion. During an appearance on the podcast, social media superstar Dr. Umar suggested that Eminem couldn’t be the greatest rapper of all time because he is white.
Rapper Tony Yayo, a popular member of 50 Cent’s G-Unit label, quickly came to the Detroit native’s defense.
“I don’t agree with that,” Yayo said via HotNewHipHop.com. “I fuck with Dr. Umar but I don’t have to agree with everything he says. I do not agree with that. Eminem is in my top 5 MCs. And that’s not because I agree with him or because you’re wearing the “Free Yayo” t-shirt. It has nothing to do with that. I was an Eminem fan once I heard ‘Renegade’. That was it for me. I once heard him rhyme against Jay.”
