Eminem’s Spokesperson Reacts To Leaked Songs Including ‘Diss’ Targeting Ja Rule And Suge Knight
Eminem’s spokesperson, Dennis Dennehy, in a statement mentioned that these songs were “never meant for public consumption.”
Eminem’s fans were caught off guard when a series of his unreleased songs, dating back to 2003, were leaked online. Among the tracks were collaborations with 50 Cent and Dr. Dre, as well as a diss track aimed at Ja Rule and Suge Knight. However, these songs were never intended for public release and Eminem’s spokesperson didn’t hold back in expressing frustration over the situation.
Dennis Dennehy, Eminem’s spokesperson, has issued a statement to Billboard which addresses the leaks.

“These leaked songs were studio efforts never meant for public consumption … demos, experiments and ideas that are dated and not relevant so many years later. The latest in a line of unfinished material released against artists’ will and without their permission," Dennehy said.
The identity of the individual behind the leaks remains unknown but Aftermath producer Fredwreck didn’t hold back in his response. In a since-deleted post on X (formerly Twitter), he issued a stern warning to the person responsible for releasing Eminem’s music.
“FYI to the criminal who’s leaking Eminem’s music. We will find you. We will find you. Street law will be applied. Ask ‘Koolo’ what happened to him last time he leaked. We know where he lives and yes this is a threat," he wrote, as per reports.
As for the leaked tracks themselves, Smack You has stood out the most especially for its sharp disses aimed at Ja Rule and Suge. The lyrics of the track show just how deep the rivalry goes. Eminem starts with a jab at Ja Rule, rapping, “I’m holding Irv responsible, the Cookie Monster of Rap/Won’t give Hailie back her Oscar, they lost it up Ja Rule’s a**."
The diss track also takes aim at Suge. “I’m holding Suge responsible for the deaths of the two greatest rappers to ever grace the face of this planet/If only the late great mister Christopher Wallace could talk, he could tell you himself," he raps in the song.
The rappers here are believed to be Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls who had lost their lives in unsolved murders. Suge was reportedly with Tupac the night he was shot and killed. The FBI also investigated whether he had a hand in Biggie’s death, though Suge has denied his involvement.
Meanwhile, in July, the rapper made a comeback with the release of The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce), earning his 10th consecutive number-one album on the Billboard 200.
