Eminem performed “Lose Yourself” last night at the 2020 Academy Awards — and everyone was totally confused. The rapper won an Oscar for Best Original Song for “Lose Yourself” 17 years ago. Em started trending on social media immediately. One person tweeted, “…why did Eminem just happen tho? #AcademyAwards.” Another wrote, “The whole audience trying to jam to Eminem but also confused as to why he is performing #Oscars.”
Another Twitter user wrote, “I have so many questions. Who asked for Eminem? What year is it? Why is this the best rapper you could find when everyone complained about #OscarsSoWhite? What the f*ck is going on. #Oscars.”
Em responded to social media, saying, “Look, if you had another shot, another opportunity… Thanks for having me @TheAcademy. Sorry it took me 18 years to get here.”
