DETROIT – Rapper Eminem had a message for Matthew Stafford ahead of Sunday’s playoff game against the Detroit Lions.
Everyone knows Eminem is a huge Lions fan, and he was one of the many who rooted for Stafford to win a Super Bowl two years ago in Los Angeles.
Now that the two teams are squaring off in Ford Field’s first playoff game, Eminem is trying to cash in on that goodwill.
“Stafford, what’d I say?” Eminem said in a video via Sunday Night Football. “You owe me this favor, bro. 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. Can you just let us have this one? Just this one?”
Some fans will probably say the Lions don’t need Stafford to give them anything to win this game. But I think everyone shares Eminem’s desperation to see the Lions finally win a playoff game after three decades.
