Eminem is facing backlash on social media over a new track where he refers to Alec Baldwin’s Rust shooting, where cinematographer Halyna Hutchins lost her life.

In the rapper’s new album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace), he included a song titled “Fuel,” where he includes lyrics about the death.

“Clutchin’ the nine millimeter, tuckin’ the heat / Got the toaster like an English muffin / No, I mean, “Toast to” like you drink to somethin’ But it’s in a holster, I proceed to bust it,” Eminem raps. “F*** around and get popped like Halyna Hutchins / Like I’m Alec Baldwin, what I mean is buckin’ you down, coup de grace then / Right between the fuckin’ / I shoot ’em all in if you think you’re fuckin’ with me.”

(Yep),” Eminem raps. “R.I.P., rest in peace, Biggie / And Pac, both of y’all should be living (Yep) / But I ain’t tryna beef with him (Nope) / ‘Cause he might put a hit on me like Keefe D did him / And that’s the only way you’re gonna be killing me (Nah).”
