Eminem thanks Ben Johnson for staying with Detroit Lions

The Detroit Lions’ community, including famed rapper and dedicated fan Eminem, is reveling in the decision of offensive coordinator Ben Johnson to stay with the team for the 2024 season. Johnson, having communicated his disinterest in head coach openings with the Washington Commanders and Seattle Seahawks, chose loyalty to the Lions over other opportunities.

What did Eminem Say?

Eminem, known for his deep connection to Detroit and the Lions, expressed his gratitude and relief humorously on X, mentioning he was ready to drop a diss track had Johnson left.

“Guess I should stop recording this diss track..!! Lol!! @ Ben Johnson Thank you for staying!!! We can’t break this team up ESPECIALLY since I’M on it!!! Coach Campbell we love you bro!!! Let’s run it back next year!!…I’m READY!!!! I promise you I WILL get us to the super bowl!!!”

This gesture from Eminem underscores the deep emotional investment and connection the community feels with the team and its management.
