Although it wasn’t precisely the right time, Tom Hardy was excited to see Eminem backstage during a show a few years ago.
In an October 24 interview with DJ Whoo Kid for his Whoo’s House Podcast, the renowned actor reminisced about the uncomfortable encounter with Shady in 2018 and the reasons behind his feelings of guilt.
I felt horrible for him when I went to his concert because I was escorted backstage to his dressing room to greet him, and he had to take a picture with me, which made me feel like a complete jerk. He said, “He’s nice, but he had to go on stage.” It’s as though he’s getting ready for work when a fool like me enters and says, ‘Hey!’ I was just deadpanned by him. [laughs] “All right,” I said. This is not the moment!

In other matters, Lil Pump recently took aim at Eminem, who had openly supported Kamala Harris, in celebration of Donald Trump’s election as president.
Shortly after the former reality star regained the White House, the “Gucci Gang” rapper, who is among Trump’s most ardent admirers in the hip-hop community, took to X to celebrate the outcome.
Pump attacked his music contemporaries who had backed Harris, pointing specifically at Em and fellow superstar Taylor Swift, while also slapping Trump’s victory in the face of his critics.
“You fucking losers, all of you rappers who were paid to support Kamal [a] Harris, can’t pay me to support Donald Trump.” He stated, “I stand on what’s right,” and then added, “Fuck Eminem and Fuck Taylor Swift.”
Before enthusiastically forecasting “cheaper gas” and “lower taxes” under the businessman’s presidency, the 24-year-old also disclosed that he lost $20 million agreements and “a lot of friends” as a result of his support for Trump.
“I’ve never had a better day in my life,” he said.
Eminem has not yet responded, despite his lack of social media activity.
Late last month, the self-described Rap God made a rare public appearance at Kamala Harris’ event in his hometown of Detroit, revealing his own political affiliations.
“I don’t think anyone wants an America where people are worried about retribution or what people will do if you make your opinion known,” he said in a brief speech to the gathering, adding that people shouldn’t be afraid to voice their thoughts.
“I believe Vice President Harris is in favor of a future for this nation in which these liberties, along with many others, will be safeguarded and maintained.”
Former President Barack Obama then recited the famous opening words from his 2002 hit song “Lose Yourself” after Em welcomed him to the stage.
