The US presidential elections are coming up, and one of the elected nominees Vivek Ramaswamy is one of them. During a campaign for his nomination, Vivek used Eminem's hit song Lose Yourself from the 8 Mile soundtrack released in 2002 without permission from Eminem (Marshal Mathers) or his manager Paul Rosenburg from Interscope Records to use the song.
The one time Eminem granted the usage of the song was to Joe Biden's campaign back in 2022, which Eminem had voted for Joe Biden because he didn't like what Donald Trump had planned for his presidential term and what he's doing as a person, even racism claims that have been proven true.
This is not the first time a US president tried to use someone else's song without consent. George W. Bush, son of George Bush, both presidents of USA, had used Great Britain rapper Sting's song Brand New Day. Sting and his manager Miles Copeland had reached out to George W Bush's Gore Campaign about it, which Sting and Gore made up and had brunch together.
What started this was when Vivek posted on X "Will the real Slim Shady please stand up? He didn't just say what I think he did, did he?"
Vivek in his college days had "rapped" under the name "Da Vek" singing other people's songs. He visited Canada one time, and sang Lose Yourself in a karaoke bar.
Vivek, unlike Eminem, lived a lucky life. his dad was an engineer for General Electric, and his mom was a geriatric psychiatrist.
Music license BMI Music had reached out, which says that Vivek Ramaswamy's Campaign did not have permission to use Meinem's music without consent, and they will have to remove it.
The political news network The Daily Wire was making fun of Eminem for speaking out, only because Eminem voted for Joe Biden, and all The Daily Wire members support Donald Trump. They have no knowledge of what happens when someone tries to use your music without consent.
There have been musicians who have been taken to court over music copying or even samples, including Ed Sheeran. And not once, but twice, by Marvin Gaye's family.
