Eminem has often used his provocative style to grab attention, and his lyrics can sometimes feel outdated. However, in a surprising move, his controversial lyrics about Halyna Hutchins’ tragic death resonated more than expected.
With the release of his 12th studio album coinciding with the end of Alec Baldwin’s trial in the accidental killing of Hutchins on the set of “Rust,” Eminem stirred controversy. In his song “Fuel,” he mentions Hutchins and Baldwin, using their names in a provocative manner that has drawn criticism.
Eminem Still Provokes Mixed Reactions
Former Eminem fans and critics have called out the rapper for his insensitive reference to Hutchins’ death in his lyrics. Many expressed disappointment in Eminem’s lack of growth and maturity as reflected in his song’s content.
Some online users criticized Eminem for using a tragedy for shock value rather than evolving his artistry. The reaction to his controversial verse has sparked a debate on whether Eminem’s style is still relevant or has become distasteful.
