Vivek Ramaswamy responds to Eminem's cease-and-desist letter over the Republican presidential candidate's unauthorized rapping of the hit 'Lose Yourself.'
Wealthy millennial entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy was the target of a barrage of attacks during Wednesday’s first GOP presidential debate for the 2024 Republican nomination.of Ramaswamy’s spur-of-the-moment performance has garnered millions of views on social media. Reactions in the comments section to the right-wing candidate’s rapping ranged from ultra-supportive to very critical, with most expressing surprise.
But Ramaswamy is no stranger to the rap game. As a Harvard undergrad, , he performed at open-mic nights as rapper “Da Vek.” “I saw myself, honestly, making it big through American capitalism, and that’s why the Eminem story spoke to me,” Ramaswamy told. “I didn’t grow up in a trailer, but I also didn’t grow up in the same circumstances that most of my peers at Harvard did, either. I aspired to achieve what many of their parents did. It kind of spoke to me, I would say.”
The cease-and-desist letter, which was reviewed by The Times, states, “This letter serves as notice ... that BMI has received a communication from Marshall B. Mathers, III, professionally known as Eminem, objecting to the Vivek Ramaswamy campaign’s use of Eminem’s musical compositions... “BMI will consider any performance of the Eminem Works by the Vivek 2024 campaign from this date forward to be a material breach of the Agreement for which BMI reserves all rights and remedies with respect thereto.”
