Eminem apologizes to Rams QB before Detroit Lions playoff game: 'You owe me'

Eminem, a longtime Detroit Lions fan, has a message for Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford: “You owe me.”

In a promo clip on X (formerly Twitter) ahead of the Lions' playoff game against the Rams on Sunday (Jan. 14), the iconic rapper made a desperate plea to the former Lions QB.

“Stafford, what did I say? You owe me that favor, bro,” Em said video during Saturday's Chiefs-Dolphins game. “I was there for you when you won it. I was there for you. I was right there. I rapped for you Stafford. Bro, I rapped for you!”

The “Lose Yourself” rapper, who wears a custom No. 20 Barry Sanders hoodie in the clip, is referring to his 2022 Super Bowl halftime show at SoFi Stadium near Los Angeles, where the Rams earned a victory against the Cincinnati Bengals . The memorable performance also featured an all-star hip-hop line-up with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar and 50 Cent.

Stafford spent 12 years with the Lions before being traded to the Rams in 2021. During that time, the QB missed three first-round playoff games. Stafford was traded to the Rams for current Lions quarterback Jared Goff.

The Lions — who haven't won a playoff game since 1992 — take on the Rams at Detroit's Ford Field on Sunday (Jan. 14). The highly anticipated game marks the Lions' first home playoff game in 30 years and the NFL team's first game at Ford Field.
