Many on social media called Eminem out, while others said this is typical Slim Shady. Some even suggested Megan Thee Stallion fire back with a diss of her own.
“I don’t even like Meg anymore but Eminem is so hateful and weird to women,” one X (Twitter) user wrote. “Always throwing shots at females but I’ve never seen him go toe to toe with a man. Weird ass.”

Meanwhile, some fans said Megan Thee Stallion would be “honored” Eminem dissed her.
“This generation don’t know who Eminem is and it shows,” an X (Twitter) user said. “He disses everybody it’s nothing new even Meg wouldn’t be offended she’ll be honored to be dissed by Eminem.”
