Ahead of the Detroit Lions vs Los Angeles Rams game on Sunday, hip-hop veteran Eminem asked Matthew Stafford for a huge favour. The Rap God hitmaker and Stafford go way back, as Eminem rooted for him for 12 seasons before his exit from the Lions. The 51-year-old rapper, who has been a Lions fan for decades, asked the Rams quarterback, “Can you just let us have this one?”

The Mockingbird rapper pleaded with Stafford in a video on X, formerly Twitter. “Stafford, what’d I say? You owe me this favour, bro,” Eminem said. “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!” he added before finally requesting the ex-Lions quarterback to let Detroit win.

Eminem was all smiles as he posed for pictures with fans following the Lions’ win over the Rams with a score of 24-23. This marks the first time in 32 years that the Detroit Lions won a playoff game. Their last victory dates back to 1992 in January with a win over Dallas.
