Ramaswamy Makes Decision to Cease Performing Eminem’s Songs
Vivek Ramaswamy, a conservative entrepreneur, has announced that he will comply with rapper Eminem’s request to stop using his music during the 2024 Republican presidential primaries. Ramaswamy expressed his respect for Eminem’s wishes but also questioned the rapper’s evolution from someone who stood up to the establishment. The announcement came after Ramaswamy received a cease-and-desist letter from Broadcast Music, Inc. on behalf of Eminem. Ramaswamy had previously performed Eminem’s songs at campaign events. This is not the first time a Republican candidate has faced backlash for using popular songs on the campaign trail, as former President Donald Trump also faced opposition from artists like The Beatles and Bruce Springsteen.
