When Eminem takes the stage for one of his performances, his fans talk about it for weeks and months, if not also years — just like they did after his iconic 2000 MTV Video Music Awards opening in which several dozen Eminem clones joined him for a rendition of “The Real Slim Shady.” However, when it comes to the 2022 Super Bowl, the rapper is a bit worried that something might go wrong on live television. In an interview with SiriusXM’s “Sway in the Morning,” Eminem admitted, “I’mma tell you, it’s f**king nerve-wracking … There’s nothing more final than live TV. So, if you f**k up, your f**k up is there forever.”
Em also made it no secret that he’s stoked to be sharing the stage with Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige, Snoop Dogg, and Kendrick Lamar. “When the whole thing started going down and we were like, ‘Okay, this might be actually serious.’ I was trying to envision what Dre. might do,” he said. “I was thinking like, yeah, that’s dope that all of us are gonna rap together, right, and that kind of thing, but I didn’t expect the production to be like this.”
If anything, Eminem can always take Snoop Dogg’s approach when he added a post on Instagram that said, “I heard there is gonna be a football game at the Eminem, Dr. Dre and Snoop Concert.”
