I can’t imagine having to watch this dope live out his child hood fantasies of being slim shady.
All these other Slim Shady’s are just imitating.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Vivek Ramaswamy thought he could show off his rap “skills” on the campaign trail — but he’s getting a legal halt from Eminem instead.
BMI, the company in charge of Eminem’s compositions, sent a cease and desist letter on Aug. 23 to the Republican presidential hopeful, asking that he stop performing Slim Shady’s tracks.
His response comes after he received a letter from BMI that asked that Eminem’s work be removed from a licensing contract Ramaswamy had in place.
“BMI will consider any performance of the Eminem Works by the Vivek 2024 campaign from this date forward to be a material breach,” the letter read.
To the American people’s chagrin, we will have to leave the rapping to the real slim shady,” a spokesperson for Ramaswamy’s campaign told DailyMail.com Monday.
This story was updated on Aug. 29 at 6:30 pm ET after Vivek Ramaswamy agreed to stop using Eminem’s music on the campaign trail
The original article contains 478 words, the summary contains 154 words. Saved 68%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
If this dude thinks trump was the best president in the 20th century why is he running against trump?
This question is not my own but it is a great point lol
This guy is definitely one of those dudes who’s using this campaign to get a cabinet position or a job as a pundit.
Vivek single handedly proved not all colored people have rhythm
Macklemore, get ready!
He is the GOP's Kendall Roy
I feel like Vivek Ramaswamy bought ancient political data and trained into 2011GPT.
Worst Kendall Roy vibes only
I didn’t know this was a thing and now I’m contemplating risking my own meager peace of mind to witness it.
Good decision from Vivek.
