Eminem fans are calling for the rapper to release new music in response to his announcement that his brand of spaghetti sauce will be released later this week.
On Tuesday (Oct. 24), the rapper presented his Mom’s Spaghetti sauce, which is inspired by the famous lyric from his 2002 smash hit “Lose Yourself.” The sauce will be available for purchase on Thursday (Oct. 26).
“From the D 2 ur kitchen,” the 51-year-old wrote on Instagram, adding a spaghetti emoji, a Mom’s Spaghetti hashtag, as well as the release date and directions as to how to order the sauce.
Em’s product placement garnered a mixed response, with some of his followers expressing their intent to buy a jar of Mom’s Spaghetti as soon as possible. Others seemed less concerned with condiments and more with when they can expect a new full-length musical release from the Motor City native.
One user predicted that Em is going to “make millions off spaghetti sauce,” while another joked that the rapper gave them “heart attacks” due to them thinking the ad was for a new album instead. Others chose to bring awareness to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine.
Nearly four years have passed since Eminem’s last studio album, Music to Be Murdered By, which was released in January 2020. His eleventh studio album, the project debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 279,000 album-equivalent units sold in its first week, making it his ninth consecutive solo album to top the chart.
Led by the singles “Godzilla” featuring Juice Wrld, “Those Kinda Nights” with Ed Sheeran, and “Darkness,” Music to Be Murdered By also includes additional guest appearances from Don Toliver, Young M.A., Royce da 5’9″, Black Thought, Q-Tip, Anderson .Paak, KXNG Crooked, Joell Ortiz, Skylar Grey, Denaun, and White Gold.
