The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) performer will be giving fans the first TV show performance from his recently released 12th studio album.
Eminem is tied for the most Moon Persons wins with Peter Gabriel, and last opened the VMAs in 2010 with a powerful performance of “Not Afraid,” followed by a duet with Rihanna for “Love the Way You Lie.”
He has 8 nominations this year including Video of the Year, as well as VMAs Most Iconic Performance for his 2000 medley of “Real Slim Shady” and “The Way I Am,” which included a procession of 100+ lookalikes dressed as himself.

He last performed in 2022 with Snoop Dogg with “From the D 2 The LBC,” inspired by the world of the Otherside metaverse.
