Fans quickly took to X (formerly Twitter) to react. Some were thrilled by Eminem's apparent involvement, with one user declaring 'YUKON' the 'second best song on the album,' and others calling it 'fire' and 'one of my favs.' However, many questioned the extent of Eminem's contribution. Several users speculated that Bieber had sampled a lyric from Eminem's 2011 track 'Untitled,' particularly the line, 'Get a move on, like U-Haul,' which may have led to Eminem being legally credited.

While some hoped the credit hinted at a deeper collaboration, others dismissed it as a routine legal listing. 'That means literally nothing,' one user wrote. 'He is legally obligated to list Eminem. It's still unclear which song was sampled.' Theories continued circulating, but most agreed the credit likely stems from sample clearance rather than a new partnership.

That means literally nothing, probably just used a sample so they had to credit em — ViperAceFilms (@ace6_viper) July 11, 2025
Though Bieber and Eminem haven't collaborated before, they've acknowledged each other publicly. In 2013, The Sun reported that Eminem reached out to Bieber during a rough patch, encouraging therapy. Later, in 2018, Eminem name-dropped Bieber in a freestyle, prompting Bieber to criticize the rapper's views on younger artists.
SWAG is Bieber's first full-length release since Justice (2021), and its rollout included billboard campaigns across Reykjavík, New York, and Los Angeles. Promotional visuals featured Bieber, his wife Hailey, and their son Jack Blues. Whether Eminem's credit was intentional or incidental, it has certainly drawn fresh attention to Bieber's evolving musical direction.

Selena Gomez's kidney donor, Francia Raisa signals support for Justin Bieber fueling feud rumours
Francia Raisa has reignited speculation over her friendship with Selena Gomez after sharing an Instagram post that featured Justin Bieber's new song 'Daisies.' The track, a heartfelt dedication to Hailey Bieber from his latest album Swag, played in the background of Raisa's behind-the-scenes content from Celebrity Family Feud. Bieber later reshared the post to his Instagram Stories, sparking renewed interest in Raisa's apparent support. In the caption, Raisa wrote, 'Spoiler Alert: We Won! I had so much fun playing Celebrity Family Feud with my familia. What made it really special was getting to play for a cause that meant something personal.' She revealed the episode was filmed the same weekend as her late friend Supanna's birthday, a connection that made the experience deeply meaningful. Raisa's team played for The Breasties, a cancer support nonprofit. Still, fans focused on her song choice. With 'Daisies' being a known tribute to Hailey Bieber and Raisa's former best friend, Selena Gomez, notably absent from the post, users on social media speculated whether this marked the end of their once-close bond. Bieber's quiet repost only added to the intrigue. Raisa and Gomez have had a complex relationship since Raisa famously donated a kidney to the singer in 2017. While they've both downplayed reports of a rift, public interactions have been minimal in recent years. Now, with Raisa embracing a track by Gomez's most high-profile ex, fans are left wondering if the silence between them speaks volumes.
