Eminem’s song has gone viral following P Diddy’s arrest.
Last week, Diddy was arrested in New York and now faces a series of criminal charges including racketeering and sex trafficking.
The rapper has insisted that he’s innocent but will remain behind bars until his trial after his bail requests were denied by a judge.
Since then, Eminem’s song ‘Fuel’ has been doing the rounds on TikTok as the track makes a dig at Diddy.
The song was part of Eminem’s highly anticipated album drop The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) that was released in July, marking his first studio album since 2020.
One song that got people talking was ‘Somebody Save Me’ that refers to his daughter Hailie Jade. She admitted that when she hears the track, she cries ‘every time’.
But now, ‘Fuel’ is the song on everyone’s radar following Diddy’s arrest last week. The two rap stars have long had beef, but these lyrics arguably hit different in light of the charges Diddy’s facing.

The lyrics in question go: “I’m like a R-A-P-E-R. Got so many S-As (huh). Wait, he didn’t just spell the word, ‘Rapper’ and leave out a P, did he?”
Ouch.
People on TikTok are now saying that Eminem has been ‘trying to tell us’ all along about Diddy.
“Eminem and 50 Cent have been chasing P Diddy for years trying to tell us all,” one person said.
“Eminem literally two steps ahead,” wrote another. A third continued: “I feel like alot of people don’t realise that Eminem has constantly commented on how much he disliked Diddy for over the past 20 years.”
“He’s been doing this almost his whole career dissing Diddy,” added another.
Eminem took aim at Diddy on his song ‘Antichrist’ as well.
Appearing to refer to the assault allegations he was facing from his ex Cassie Ventura – with a video of him kicking her later following suit – Eminem raps: “Next idiot ask me is gettin’ his ass beat worse than Diddy did. But on the real, though. She prolly ran out the room with his f**king dildo. He try to field goal punt her, she said to chill. Now put it back in my ass and get the steel toe.”

Diddy issued a public apology after the disturbing hotel CCTV footage from 2016 was released to the public.
“I hit rock bottom,” he said in a video posted online.
“But I make no excuses, my behavior in that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video, I’m disgusted.”
