Eminem is facing backlash on social media over a new track where he refers to Alec Baldwin‘s Rust shooting, where cinematographer Halyna Hutchins lost her life.
In the rapper’s new album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), he included a song titled “Fuel,” where he includes lyrics about the death.
“Clutchin’ the nine millimeter, tuckin’ the heat / Got the toaster like an English muffin / No, I mean, “Toast to” like you drink to somethin’ But it’s in a holster, I proceed to bust it,” Eminem raps. “F*** around and get popped like Halyna Hutchins / Like I’m Alec Baldwin, what I mean is buckin’ you down, coup de grâce then / Right between the fuckin’ / I shoot ’em all in if you think you’re fuckin’ with me.”

He continues, “You’re gonna suffer the fuckin’ repercussions / The reaper’s comin’ to heathen and I need it from me / I keep replenishing fuel while the beat I’m punishin'”

Baldwin is currently facing trial for involuntary manslaughter for the 2021 fatal shooting of Hutchins during the filming of Rust. Hutchins was killed, and Rust director Joel Souza was injured on October 21, 2021, after the Colt .45 Baldwin was pointing at the cinematographer shot off a live round during a rehearsal at the Bonanza Creek Ranch near Santa Fe.
Baldwin was not the only celebrity who was namedropped in Eminem’s song “Fuel,” as Sean “Diddy” is also referenced.
“I’m like a R-A-P-E-R (Yeah) / Got so many S-As (S-As), S-As (Huh) / Wait, he didn’t just spell the word, “Rapper” and leave out a P, did he? (Yep),” Eminem raps. “R.I.P., rest in peace, Biggie / And Pac, both of y’all should be living (Yep) / But I ain’t tryna beef with him (Nope) / ‘Cause he might put a hit on me like Keefe D did him / And that’s the only way you’re gonna be killing me (Nah).”
Eminem also references Combs in “Antichrist” and “Bad One.”
