Elon Musk Calls Eminem 'Diddy Party Participant' As Barack Obama Raps 'Lose Yourself' At Rally: Here's What Went Down
Musk’s claims followed closely after Eminem introduced former US President Barack Obama during a high-profile event for Kamala Harris in Detroit.
Elon Musk has found himself amidst controversy yet again by claiming rapper Eminem was present at parties hosted by music executive Sean "Diddy" Combs, who faces serious criminal charges, including allegations of sexual abuse and orchestrating drug-fueled gatherings. These allegations against Combs emerged last month, accusing him of exploiting women through threats and coercion.

Musk, a vocal supporter of Donald Trump, Harris’ Republican opponent in the upcoming presidential election, took to X (formerly Twitter) to make the accusations.
"Yet another Diddy party participant," Musk posted in response to a claim that Eminem had referenced violence against homosexuals in his lyrics.

What Charges Are Diddy Facing?
Sean Combs, widely known as "Diddy," was arrested last month on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. Lawyers for the alleged victims have stated that many celebrities were regular guests at Diddy's notorious parties.
The allegations against Diddy have been building since last year, when singer Cassie accused him of subjecting her to over a decade of abuse, including coercion through drugs and an alleged rape in 2018. Diddy has denied the charges and is set to face trial in May 2025.
How Did Eminem Fans React?
In response to Musk's remarks, Eminem’s fanbase was quick to defend the rapper, pointing out that Eminem has long been critical of Diddy. "Em (Eminem) never attended and has always been against Diddy. Do your research Elon," one fan posted on X. Another added that Eminem’s disses against Diddy date back to the 1990s.
Eminem’s latest album, 'The Death of Slim Shady', has been speculated to contain further digs at Diddy.
