Eminem previously demanded that Vivek Ramaswamy stop using his music on the campaign trail, and the Republican presidential contender appeared to be willing to drop the matter. Eminem has also threatened to sue Vivek Ramaswamy for the use of his song "Lose Yourself." Eminem took issue with the usage of his music during Ramaswamy's campaign events, according to a cease-and-desist letter sent to Ramaswamy's lawyer on August 23, 2023. It came more than a week after Ramaswamy, a tech entrepreneur and political novice, impromptu performed Eminem's famous 2002 song «Lose Yourself» during a campaign stop during the Iowa State Fair.

According to the letter, «BMI will regard any performance of the Eminem Works by the Vivek 2024 campaign as a material breach of the Agreement for which BMI reserves all rights and remedies with respect thereto.» When Ramaswamy learned about the letter, he appeared to mock the Grammy winner, 50, on his X page (formerly known as Twitter). «Would The REAL Slim Shady Kindly Stand Up?» «Didn't he just say what I think he said?» He tweeted, copying the rapper's words from «The Real Slim Shady» and tagging Eminem with a sweaty grinning face emoji.

Xi Jinping rarely bothers to glad-hand or to try charming a crowd. His public appearances in China are carefully crafted, with fawning cadres and adoring fans positioned around him. So, when Xi landed in San Francisco this week to meet with President Joe Biden, to try to stabilize a relationship with the United States that has been spiraling downward, it provided a rare opportunity to see the Chinese leader up close and, at times, less filtered than usual. There were a few moments when Xi turned animated — or the closest he gets to it — like when a group of Iowans he had met in the 1980s came through the receiving line at a gala dinner in San Francisco on Wednesday night.
