Eminem retracts threat of diss track directed toward Lions OC Ben Johnson

Guess who's back?
On Tuesday, the Detroit Lions retained offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. The assistant coach was a suggested candidate for the vacant head coaching jobs with the Seattle Seahawks and the Washington Commanders. But apparently, he's calling Ford Field home till the roof comes off.
Upon hearing the news, Slim Shady retracted his threat to release a diss track directed toward Johnson and expressed his continued support for head coach Dan Campbell. He had some words of hope for Lions fans after the team was ousted from the playoffs in the NFC championship, where he cheered in person.
"Guess I should stop recording this diss track..!! Lol!!" Eminem posted on X, formerly Twitter. "@ 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!!!"
Eminem previously spoke on DJ Whoo Kidd's radio show and said he was upset that Johnson was reportedly being lured away by the Commanders.

"Ben Johnson, if he leaves us, bro... Ben Johnson, if you leave us, this record is coming," he said in the interview, which was posted on Sunday. "This song is coming.
"Just stay with us one more year. Our team is amazing right now. We can't change anything. I don't even want to change the (expletive) hat I wore last week."
Eminem made his name in the rap game with unapologetic, and often shocking, lyricism. He starred as Jimmy aka B-Rabbit in the movie "8 Mile," which was based on his journey as a battle rapper. Among the targets of his real life rap disses are Ja Rule, Will Smith and Machine Gun Kelly.
The Lions made history this season by capturing their first division title in 30 years and winning their first playoff game in 32 seasons. Under Johnson, Jared Goff threw for 4,575 passing yards, the second-most in the NFL. Detroit was fifth in the league in rushing yards. David Montgomery had the second 1,000-yard season of his career and rookie Jahmyr Gibbs added 945 yards on the ground.
Detroit won't have to feel so empty without their OC.
