The Not Afraid artist started pretty early in his beef with Diddy. He took his first shot at the rapper in his 1997 track F—ing Crazy which is supposedly the original version of his hit song Any Man from the mixtape Sound Bombing II where Emimem is credited as a writer and artist. The following lyrics go: “Original Bad Boy on the case, cover your face / Came in the place blowed, and sprayed Puffy with Mase.” He does a play on words on Diddy’s Bad Boy signature and his connection to the rapper Mase.
Then on a 2000 track, Marshalls Mathers, he referenced Diddy again: “You little groupie b—-, get off me, go f— Puffy.” In the same album that Marshall Mathers was apart of (The Marshal Mathers LP), he mentioned him again and his then-relationship with singer-actress Jennifer Lopez in I’m Back: “If I ever stuck it to any singer in showbiz / It’d be Jennifer Lopez and Puffy, you know this. I’m sorry, Puff, but I don’t give a f—.”
In 2018, Eminem had beef with musician Machine Gun Kelly and in his 2018 song Killshot, he used the song to diss MGK and the Bad Boy CEO himself: “Kells, the day you put out a hit is the day Diddy admits / That he put the hit out that got Pac killed.” Eminem went on to add after the Diddy killing Tupac claim: “I’m just playing, Diddy, you know I love you.” But that didn’t stop the old rumors and theories that Diddy was involved in Tupac’s shooting in 1996. Diddy has denied any involvement in the New York rapper’s death. Former LA gang member Duane “Keefe D” Davis on September 29, 2023 was arrested and indicted by a grand jury for the first-degree murder of Tupac.
2024 Album Diddy Call Out
Eminem recently mentioned Diddy in his July 2024 album
In the recent album, Eminem sprinkled a few Diddy references but this time applying to his allegations and the unearthed video of him abusing Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura. The 51-year-old Detroit native’s song Fuel from the album went viral with lyrics that mention Diddy’s alleged sexual abuse and misconduct: “I’m like a R-A-P-E-R. Got so many S-As (huh) / Wait, he didn’t just spell the world ‘rapper’ and leave out a P, did he?”
In the song Antichrist, he made mentions of the 2016 hotel surveillance footage of Diddy physically assaulting Cassie that was published by CNN in May. The video reflected the claims Cassie made against Diddy in her explosive lawsuit in November 2023. She alleged that Diddy had physically and sexually abused her during their more-than-decade-long relationship. Diddy and the Me & You singer settled the lawsuit the next day and the matters of the settlement have not been disclosed.
The lyrics that Eminem wrote that talked about the assault was: “Next idiot ask me is gettin’ his a– beat worse than Diddy did / But on the real, though / She prolly ran out the room with his f—-in’ dildo / He tried to field goal punt her, she said to chill / Now put it back in my a– and get the steel toe.”
In the third track within the album, Bad One featuring singer White Gold, he also referenced the allegations of Diddy blowing up Kid Cudi’s car in Cassie’s Lawsuit. At the time, a spokesperson for Kid Cudi confirmed that it’s “all true” in a statement to The New York Times. The lyrics went: “The f—ing bomb with the Puffy on / I’m blowing up for Kid Cudi’s car / In front of his house where all his buddies are.”
