People are creeped out by a digitally de-aged Eminem featuring in the newly released Super Bowl halftime show ad. Check it out below, if you dare:
Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar are set to join forces for the huge Super Bowl LVI halftime show.
Although despite the incredible line-up, some can't help but be totally weirded out by the introduction of a 'CGI'ed version of a young Eminem.
One user wrote: "digitally de-aged eminem is going to hell."
A second suggested: "Imagine Eminem brings back the 'Slim Shady' Clones for the super bowl performance."
Someone else tweeted that they might need a session from their therapist after watching the not so real slim shady.
However, not all agreed and many are looking forward to the potentially epic show.
One user wrote: "noooo eminem fighting slim shady in the pepsi ad for the superbowl halftime is epic."
Another added: "Really cool f’n ad. l am actually actually excited for this years Super Bowl Halftime Show…."
The ad starts with Eminem and moves onto Snoop Dog driving through Hollywood.
Blige then comes in working from New York City and after Lamar is there writing in LA.
Alongside Dr Dre, the crew walk towards SoFi Stadium with the legendary 'California Love' blaring out in the background.
Well, in other Eminem-related news, earlier this month, the rapper hit back at Gen Z attempting to cancel him in a new track.
He features in a verse on a new remix of Cordae's 'Parables' and he took the opportunity to snap back at Gen Z.
In his first music of the year, Eminem raps: "Whipped Gen Z into a frenzy, but no give is in me, I'm stingy / And that is the motherf***in' difference between them and me."
This beef between Eminem and an entire generation was whipped up last March when a TikToker called for him to be cancelled over lyrics in the 2010 banger Love The Way You Lie, featuring Rihanna.
Highlighting the lyrics 'If she ever tries to f***king leave again, I'ma tie her to the bed and set this house on fire', the TikToker helped to get #canceleminem trending.
Eminem responded at the time, sharing an animated video for his 2020 track 'Tone Deaf', which featured on album Music to Be Murdered By – Side B.
In the song, he raps: "I can't understand a word you say (I'm tone-deaf) / I think this way I prefer to stay (I'm tone-deaf) / I won't stop even when my hair turns grey (I'm tone-deaf) / 'Cause they won't stop until they cancel me."
