After Moby made remarks criticizing the rapper Eminem in the early 2000s, things between them swiftly became problematic. Here is a glance at what happened.
Eminem and his controversial lyrics
Eminem was renowned for penning several lyrics that were quite contentious, and Particularly Moby did not appreciate a lot of Eminem's writing at the time.

Moby decided to express himself at the Grammys.
