"Antichrist" is a song by American rapper Eminem from his twelfth studio album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) (2024). It was produced Eminem himself, Luis Resto and Foulmouth. The song features additional vocals by fellow Detroit rapper Bizarre, a former member of Eminem's former rap group, D12.
Overall, the song finds Eminem's alter ego, Slim Shady, lambasting political correctness,[1] particularly attacking Generation Z[2][3] and the surrounding "woke" cultural climate,[2][3][4] saying he wishes for society to return to its ways in 2003.[4] He also addresses the controversies related to his music ("Who else is as pitiless, actually witty and crass / Hideous, ghastly and insidious as me?").[3] In the second verse, he references the video of Diddy physically assaulting his former partner Cassie Ventura in a hotel hallway in 2016 (although censoring Cassie's name),[1] threatening to hurt his critics in the same manner.[5]
In 2025, an earlier version of "Antichrist" leaked online, which features alternate lyrics targeting Michael Jackson.[6]
