Eminem no longer on Kid Rock's '7 Sins.' Now he's on a different track
Lil Wayne fills the spot after fan backlash over the collaboration, while Eminem remains on another track from Kid Rock’s album.
On Wednesday, musician Kid Rock announced that Lil Wayne replaced Eminem on the track '7 Sins,' though Eminem remains on the upcoming album 'Halfway 2 Jesus,' now featured on a different song titled 'Heal My Faith.'
Rock and Eminem have been friends for nearly 40 years, sharing deep Detroit roots; fans expressed uproar over the collaboration given the artists' contrasting ideologies—Eminem firmly left, Rock staunchly right.
Following a 'lightning bulb moment' on October 12, Rock asked Wayne to record a verse for '7 Sins,' and the New Orleans rapper sent his contribution in time for mixing and mastering by October 14.
Rock defended the collaboration, stating, 'If there's two people who understand the noise, it's us,' emphasizing that their work aims to prove people can remain friends despite political differences.
The album 'Halfway 2 Jesus' releases this Saturday, October 17, as Rock indicated he will continue promoting the project, describing its message as 'bigger' than himself.
