During a stop in Detroit over the weekend, Post Malone and Jelly Roll’s Big Ass Stadium Tour delivered a surprise appearance from hometown icon Eminem. The rapper joined Jelly Roll on stage at Ford Field for a live performance of “Lose Yourself,” thrilling the sold-out crowd.
“If you can’t tell, that was a childhood dream come fcking true, Detroit,” Jelly Roll told fans, according to Billboard. He called it “the greatest show I’ve ever had in my fking life,” and credited Eminem’s music with helping him through his darkest times.
Jelly Roll has long spoken about Eminem’s influence. On the Spout Podcast, he called their 2024 collaboration on The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce) the most surreal moment of his career. “There are probably five people on Earth I’d meet that I would be jittery around,” he said, listing Garth Brooks, James Taylor, Bob Seger, and Eminem as lifelong inspirations.
The Detroit crowd witnessed the full-circle moment live—and fans can now rewatch it online as Eminem and Jelly Roll performed “Lose Yourself” together on stage.
