Detroit native and legendary rapper Eminem joked that he would ‘stop recording his diss track,’ after Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson elected to stay with the team.

Johnson had been considered one of the hottest candidates in this year’s coaching carrousel and many had expected him to land the one of the remaining two head coach openings this hiring cycle.

The 37-year-old OC had been considered one of the favorites to land the Washington Commanders job specifically, and was heavily linked with the Carolina Panthers last offseason.

Following the news that Johnson would not be leaving Detroit this year Eminem tweeted out: ‘Guess I should stop recording this diss track..!! Lol!! @ Ben Johnson Thank you for staying!!! We can’t break this team up ESPECIALLY since I’M on it!!!

‘Coach Campbell we love you bro!!! Let’s run it back next year!!…I’m READY!!!! I promise you I WILL get us to the super bowl!!!’

Detroit made it all the way to the NFC Championship this year before embarrassingly giving up a 17-point lead in the second of half to end up losing to the San Francisco 49ers.

Under Johnson’s leadership the Lions had one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL this season and ended the year third in the league in yards per game with 394.8 and fifth in the league in scoring at 27.1 points per game.

Eminem is a noted Lions fan and found himself in the headlines several times recently during the team’s playoff run.

He was notably seen flipping off 49ers fans while watching the NFC Championship game from a suite in Levi Stadium.

Earlier during the post season, he also issued a plea to Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford to ‘just let us have this one.’
