About a third of the way through his verse, Eminem raps, \u201cWith these magazines, I act out like Ye and his cousin,\u201d a direct nod to Kanye\u2019s 2025 track \u201cCOUSINS,\u201d where West referenced an inappropriate relationship with a family member.<\/p>\n<p>The reaction online was swift and polarized. \u201cEm is foul for that,\u201d one user posted. Another asked, \u201cWhat goes through your mind to say this?\u201d while a third wrote, \u201cThis is NOT a bar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><d class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"JID - Animals (Pt.1)  ft.

The song marks a return favor from Eminem after JID appeared on \u201cFuel,\u201d a standout cut from Em\u2019s latest project, <em>The Death of Slim Shady<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Eminem\u2019s relationship with Kanye West has long been complicated. The two have collaborated in the past, most notably on \u201cForever\u201d alongside Drake and Lil Wayne, and have publicly expressed mutual respect. But Eminem has also taken lyrical jabs at Kanye over the years, often using him as a symbol of celebrity excess or erratic behavior. This latest line continues that pattern, though it\u2019s one of the more direct and controversial references to date.<\/p>\n<p>The four-track <em>Preluxe<\/em> EP also features appearances from 6LACK and Lil Yachty, and serves as a teaser for JID\u2019s fourth studio album, which is set to drop August 8. While the full tracklist remains under wraps, expectations are high following the critical success of his 2022 release, <em>The Forever Story<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Eminem\u2019s verse on \u201cAnimals (Pt. I)\u201d may have stirred debate, but it\u2019s consistent with the provocative style that\u2019s defined his career for more than two decades.<\/p>\n<p><d class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ye \u2013 \u201cCousins\u201d (Official Music Video)  | #blux\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/U-WIwEd8sPE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/d><\/p>\n<p>As for \u201cCOUSINS,\u201d the song was released on April 21 and is one of his most controversial and confessional works to date.
