Here are all the scathing references Eminem has made towards disgraced rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs throughout his career - and let's just say the star has not been shy about making his feelings clear.
Eminem, real name Marshall Mathers, is not known for mincing his words when it comes to talking about his adversaries, with everybody from former US president George Bush to his own mother and father feeling the heat over the years.
However one particular individual who has been a target for Mathers over the years is Combs, with some of the rapper's barbs taking a darker turn amid the latter's current legal trouble.

As reader's will most likely be aware, Combs is currently facing a long list of criminal charges for sex trafficking and racketeering and is currently in prison awaiting trial, charges which he has since strongly denied.
Here are all the times Eminem has taken aim at Combs in his lyrics:
(1996) - 'F****** crazy'
"Original Bad Boy on the case, cover your face. Came in the place blowed, and sprayed Puffy with Mase."
Just a rather tongue and cheek jab at Diddy and fellow rapper Mase.
(2000) - 'Marshall Mathers'
"You little groupie b****, get off me, go f**k Puffy."
At this point Eminem had established himself as a young artist willing to take on heavyweights, like Diddy, in the industry.
(2000) - 'I’m Back'
"Cause if I ever stuck it to any singer in showbiz. It’d be Jennifer Lopez and Puffy, you know this. I’m sorry, Puff, but I don’t give a f**k."
This was seemingly reference to the fact that Jennifer Lopez and Diddy dated between 1999 and 2001, and that Eminem would like to be... well, intimate with the singer.
While his previous bars were crass they can be seen as pretty playful but towards the end of the 2010’s Eminem’s shots at Diddy’s seemed to take a more serious tone.
(2018) - 'Killshot'
"Kells, the day you put out a hit is the day Diddy admits that he put the hit out that got Pac killed."
Admittedly, Eminem did end the song by saying ‘I’m just playing, Diddy, you know I love you,’. This suggested he might not have believed what he was rapping, despite Diddy and B.I.G. having a well-documented beef with west coast rappers, most notably Tupac.
(2020) - 'Godzilla'
"They call me Diddy because I make bands, and I call getting cheese a cakewalk."
This bar is a massive throwback to Diddy’s MTV reality TV show, Making The Band, from the early 2000s. Aspiring singers or artists would compete for a chance to be the producer's next big music group.
In one infamous episode, Diddy made the group members walk six miles across the Brooklyn Bridge to fetch him a slice of cheesecake from a specific bakery.
This incident wasn’t received well by viewers, as some deemed it humiliating and pointless, despite Diddy saying he wanted to test their commitment and resilience.
The rapper’s latest album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce), appeared to allude to the ongoing legal troubles and accusations Diddy has been facing.
(2024) - 'Fuel'
“Notorious B.I.G.’s death was the domino effect of Tupac’s murder, like facial tissue, whose clock should I clean next? Puff’s?
“Til he’s in police handcuffs, guilty, will he step up?"
And from the same song, he added: "A R-A-P-E-R. Got so many S-As, S-As. Wait, he didn't just spell RAPPER and leave out a P, did he?…"
The song seems a little less referential and more prophetic considering the ongoing legal issues the rapper and producer now faces.
(2024) - 'Antichrist'
“Next idiot ask me is getting his ass beat worse than Diddy did — But on the real, though, she probably ran out the room with his f**king dildo.”
A line referencing the Cassie and Diddy video that stunned the world, as well as the sexual assault allegations against the Bad Boy record producer.
LADbible Group has previously contacted Diddy and Eminem's representatives for comment.
