Gen Z TikTok users who weren't around for the early 2000s are trying to cancel Eminem like it's a new thing
Gen Z Really Thinks They Can Cancel Eminem & He Claps Back
Gen Z may have taken on a challenge too big for them to handle.
Some tiktokers are now coming for Eminem for lyrics written for his collab song with Rihanna 'Love the way you lie', asking for the real slim shady to be canceled.
A Tiktoker uploaded a video with the offending lyric playing in the background saying that it was time to cancel him. THe song originally aired in 2010.

Eminem, also known as the Rap God didn't respond at the time.
Another TikTok user made a follow-up video saying that she was toxic because she grew up with these lyrics.

Millenials however were quick to come to his defence.

Eminem however had a better answer planned and was biding his time working on his new release Tone-Deaf.
He finally clapped back at his critics in an animated lyric video as he used to in the 2000s when the Boomers hated him.
The tweet highlighted the lyric,
“I won't stop even when my hair turns grey (I'm tone-deaf) / 'Cause they won't stop until they cancel me”
