Eminem's music company 'sues Meta for $109,000,000 over 243 of his songs'
Eminem's music company Eight Mile Style has sued Facebook's parent company Meta for $109 million, it is reported. The 52-year-old rapper's publishing company has filed a lawsuit over alleged copyright infringement to the tune of $109million (£80.6m), arguing Meta Platforms violated the copyright of 243 of his songs. The filling, obtained by E! News and made by Eminem's music company Eight Mile Style, alleged Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, published a range of tools that 'allow and encourage its users to steal' Eminem's recordings to use in video content 'without proper attribution or license'. The lawsuit also accused Meta Platforms of not only 'rampant infringement' of Eight Mile Compositions, but also of 'knowing infringement', according to reports. Specifically, the lawsuit cited Meta's Original Audio and Reels services, which it argued knowingly facilitated the 'unauthorized storage, reproduction and exploitation' of Eminem's original music. Subsequently, Eminem – real name Marshall Mathers – sought to recoup monetary losses driven by 'the diminished value of the copyrights by Defendants' theft of them, lost profits, and Defendants' profits attributable to the infringement'. If that value could not be agreed on, the lawsuit requested Eminem receive the maximum statutory damages: $150,000 (£111,000) for each of the 243 songs across all three of Meta's platforms, totalling more than $100 million. This comes as Eminem celebrated 25 years since his third studio album The Marshall Mathers LP, which was released on May 23, 2000, after his debut Infinite in 1996, and The Slim Shady LP in 1999. Since, the rapper has sold over 100million albums worldwide, and is still making music, with his latest album The Death of Slim Shady, which dropped in July last year. While the album landed to mixed reviews, it saw the Lose Yourself hitmaker earn his 11th number one album, joining the likes of Taylor Swift, U2 and David Bowie.

Eminem Sues Meta For Rs 900 Crore Over Alleged Copyright Violation
Grammy-winning rapper Eminem has filed a massive copyright infringement lawsuit against Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The rapper, through his publishing company Eight Mile Style, is seeking over $109 million (approximately Rs 900 crore) in damages, according to a report by E! News. The lawsuit, filed on May 30, alleges that Meta has been using Eminem's music catalogue-comprising 243 songs-without permission. The complaint claims that the tech giant allowed the "unauthorised storage, reproduction, and exploitation" of these tracks on its platforms. Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, has accused Meta of enabling users to incorporate his music into videos and other content without securing the necessary licences or offering proper credit. The rapper is seeking $150,000 in damages per song, arguing that the alleged misuse has led to lost profits and devalued his copyrights. The legal action adds to the growing scrutiny over how social media platforms handle licensed music. Amid legal battles, Eminem is also celebrating a personal milestone- he has become a grandfather. His daughter Hailie Jade Scott, 29, recently announced the birth of her first child with husband Evan McClintock. The couple welcomed a baby boy, Elliot Marshall McClintock, on March 14. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Hailie shared a photo of the newborn dressed in a blue hoodie, resting next to a sign bearing his full name and birth date. The child's middle name, "Marshall," is a tribute to Eminem, whose full name is Marshall Mathers. "Happy due date // 3 weeks earthside little one," Hailie captioned the post. In October 2024, Eminem gave fans a glimpse into this new chapter in his music video for Temporary, which featured touching clips of Hailie growing up. The video ends with an emotional moment where she reveals her pregnancy to her father-a moment that now carries even deeper significance.
