Rhymefest dropped a wild story on the It’s Just My Opinion podcast recently, claiming that Eminem called him the n-word during a rap battle back in 1998.
According to Rhymefest, the two clashed at Scribble Jam in Cincinnati, one of the biggest underground rap battles in the country at the time, where legends from all over came to prove themselves.

The Chicago rapper said, “I battled Eminem in ’98 at this competition called Scribble Jam in Cincinnati,” Rhymefest said. “It was the biggest battle in the Midwest, and a lot of famous rappers, DJs, and breakdancers came outta there.”
But the real shocker came when Rhymefest recalled one of Em’s bars during their battle. “That was the first time a white dude ever called me a n-gga,” he said. “He spit, ‘I’ll let my razor split you, ’til they have to staple stitch you, this n-gga took my facial tissue, turned it to a racial issue.’”

Em hasn’t said anything about the claim yet, but if this is true, it’s another complex layer in his already controversial career.
