When Eminem released his diss track “Doomsday Pt.2” on Lyrical Lemonade’s album #AllisYellow, it reignited a feud that has been simmering for over two decades. The target of Eminem’s lyrical onslaught was Benzino, a rapper and media executive who has been at odds with Eminem since the early 2000s.

Eminem’s Diss
Eminem, known for his complex lyricism and sharp wit, didn’t hold back in his criticism of Benzino. He mocked Benzino’s physical appearance with a riddle, comparing him to a giraffe, and then humorously questioned how he could “go at his neck” when Benzino seemingly doesn’t have one.
Eminem also aimed at Benzino’s financial struggles, expressing faux concern about upsetting Benzino when discussing his debt. He even delved into Benzino’s personal life, hinting at rumors of Benzino’s secret escapades in cheap hotels.
Perhaps the most notable line was when Eminem alluded to a missed collaboration opportunity with Benzino’s daughter, Coi Leray. He expressed no joy in stating that the potential feature with Coi Leray was now in the toilet.
Coi Leray’s Response
Coi Leray, however, was not amused by the diss. She took to Twitter to express her thoughts on the ongoing beef between her father and Eminem, calling it “stupid” and “corny.” She clarified that she would not give the negativity any energy and was focused on her growth.
Coi Leray clarified that she has no issues with anyone and that if anyone doesn’t like her, that’s something they have to deal with themselves. She said she won’t entertain the beef Eminem and Benzino have been having for over 20 years.
In response to Eminem’s line about a potential collaboration, she tweeted,
“Man, who the hell said I wanted an Eminem feature ?? Imagine Eminem on Wanna Come Thru?”
This savvy response shows Coi Leray’s determination to carve her path in the music industry, independent of her father’s feuds.
Public Reaction
The public reaction to Eminem’s diss and Coi Leray’s response has been significant. Fans flooded the internet with support for the new song, providing their opinions on Eminem’s diss and his name-dropping of Coi Leray. The hip-hop community has also been actively discussing the diss track, with Eminem’s verse on “Doomsday Pt.2” becoming a significant talking point.
Coi Leray’s response to Eminem’s diss sparked discussions as well. She expressed disinterest in entertaining the 20-year-old beef between her father and Eminem. Her tweets about the situation were widely shared and discussed, showing her maturity and focus on her music and growth.
The feud between Eminem and Benzino dates back to the early 2000s, and with the release of “Doomsday Pt.2”, it’s clear that the embers of this feud are still smoldering. However, Coi Leray’s response shows a young artist more interested in creating her legacy than getting caught up in past conflicts. As she continues to cater to her fan base by delivering strong lyrics and maintaining her focus on growth, it’s clear that Coi Leray is dropping the mic, not tears, in response to Eminem’s diss.
