Eminem knows how to make an entrance—and his latest performance proved just that!
On Monday, October 15, the “Lucky You” rapper put on an unforgettable show on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, performing his song “Venom” from the top of the Empire State Building in New York City.
A High-Energy Performance
Eminem started his performance in the building’s lobby before making his way to the top floor, where a synchronized light show added to the excitement. Fans gathered outside, watching in awe as the iconic skyscraper lit up to the beat of his song.
A Funny Moment with Guillermo
It wasn’t all serious, though. During the segment, Kimmel’s security guard, Guillermo Rodriguez, had a hilarious interaction with Eminem. As an elevator music version of “Venom” played in the background, the two shared an awkward hug, adding a touch of comedy to the intense performance.
Fans Go Crazy
The 8-minute performance quickly went viral, with fans calling it “ferocious,” “iconic,” and “legendary.” Even Jimmy Kimmel himself praised it, calling the show “spectacular” on Instagram.
A Song Fit for a Superhero
“Venom” is the final track on Eminem’s 2018 album Kamikaze and was also featured in the Marvel movie Venom. To tease his performance earlier that day, Eminem tweeted:
“KING KONG AIN’T $#*! ON ME!”
With yet another epic and innovative performance, Eminem once again proved why he’s one of the greatest performers in hip-hop.
