Slim Shady Confronts Marshall Mathers: ‘Unlike Taylor Swift, You Only Had One Era That Mattered Mine’

Marshall Mathers recently reunited with his alter ego.

In a cover story for Complex on July 30, Eminem’s Marshall Mathers and an A.I. version of his alter-ego, Slim Shady, had a war of words in a video interview titled Slim Shady vs. Marshall Mathers: The Face-Off, where the latter told Mathers that he isn’t “Taylor Swift.”

After Shady declared he’d “been sent from the past to save our career,” Mathers, 51, said after selling “like a billion albums” that he thinks he’s “doing pretty f—ing fine.”

“We sold all that s— off my back, bitch,” Shady — sporting bleached blond hair and a signature white T-shirt — told Mathers. “Don’t get it twisted. If it wasn’t for me, you’d still be wearing that same damn Nike air hat.”

He continued: “You’re not f—ing Taylor Swift. You had one era that mattered, mine. Everything that people think of when they think of Eminem is f—ing yours truly. From the blond hair, to the middle finger, to the f—ing jokes, all of it — me.”

Shady then insulted his later years saying the music Eminem has been releasing since he left “ain’t it.”

“Like, for real? When I heard your last s—, I thought that s— was f—ing A.I.,” Shady said.

“So a computer could write ‘Rap God?'” Mathers asked his alter ego, who then replied that “no one gives a f— about your lyrical miracles.”

“People want to be entertained,” Shady added.

Elsewhere in the interview, the pair discussed the “Stan” rapper’s problematic persona.

“So you think it’s entertaining to just be a d—head and piss people off?” Mathers asked Shady after the character trashed his music.

“Look, man. I’ve grown up, bro. My fanbase has grown up,” the “Tobey” artist continued. “The world’s changed. F—ing people are way more sensitive now. Every other week on TikTok, Gen-Z discovers you on Monday and cancels me on Tuesday.”

Mathers then blamed on Shady as “the reason I had to self-medicate” — referencing his past struggles with addiction — and why he “almost lost my f—ing career, my family, my life.”

“Life’s been great since you’ve been gone,” Mathers said.
