The “Mockingbird” rapper added, “@ 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!!!”
After the game,the “Lose Yourself” rapper wroteon X, “So proud of the @lions. Thanks 4 an amazing season!!!! We’ll b back!!!”

Eminem’s daughter,Hailie Jade Scott, alsoshared on social mediathat she was looking forward to next season.
OnTikTok, she walked viewers through the process of creating her “D.I.Y.” Lions jacket, sharing how she cut up a flag and sewed each piece onto the jacket.
One week before the rapper attended the NFC Championship, Eminemjokingly called out Lions head coach Dan Campbelland asked him to put him in the game.
“Yo, Dan, I’m reporting. I’m going to report. Third quarter,” the rapper said in avideo shared on Instagram. “I’m reporting, offensive line, eligible receiver. I’ll be the quarterback, the entire line, [the] offensive line. And the receiver, I will throw it to myself and score a touchdown. In the third quarter. Just give me a uniform. Or at least just a helmet.”
He added, “I’m gonna be there that night, I will suit up, and I will score us the winning touchdown.”
