Eminem has reportedly asked Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to stop using his songs during campaign events. The request comes after Ramaswamy performed Eminem's hit song "Lose Yourself" at the Iowa State Fair earlier this month. Music licenser BMI sent a letter to Ramaswamy's campaign, stating that any further use of Eminem's compositions would be considered a breach of the agreement. This is not the first time Eminem has objected to a Republican politician using his music. In 2016, he released a song warning against then-candidate Donald Trump, and in 2004, he released a political protest song criticizing President George W. Bush. In contrast, Eminem allowed Joe Biden's campaign to use "Lose Yourself" in an advertisement during the 2020 election. The rapper has been vocal about his political views and has used his music to express his opinions on various political issues. Ramaswamy's campaign has not yet commented on Eminem's request.
