Joyner Lucas Opens Up About the Challenge of Reaching Eminem

In a recent interview with The Breakfast Club, Joyner Lucas shed light on the daunting task of getting in touch with Eminem, likening it to attempting to contact the President of the United States.

Reflecting on the intricacies of navigating the music industry and the skepticism surrounding people’s intentions within it, the Massachusetts-based rapper emphasized the guarded approach adopted by artists like Eminem. Lucas remarked, “It made me realize why people like Marshall move a certain way.”

He elaborated, painting a vivid picture of the hurdles one encounters when trying to reach the iconic rapper. “Getting on the phone with him, you can probably hop on the phone quicker with Barack Obama than you can hop on the phone with Marshall.”

“That n***a’s calling you from a line with his manager’s assistant who is calling you from a 1800 number and it’s like elevator music and, ‘Please hold, Marshall’s coming to the phone.'”

Highlighting the elusive nature of Eminem, Lucas emphasized, “You can’t have his number. Nobody has his number. He’s not accessible. You can’t talk to him. It’s like hopping on the phone with the president.”

Recalling a conversation he had with both Royce Da 5’9″ and Eminem himself, Lucas gained insight into the guarded demeanor exhibited by the self-proclaimed Rap God.

“I always wondered why this n***a move like that. I had a conversation with him on the shoot of ‘Lucky You’ and he was in his trailer and I was like, ‘Yeah man, anytime you wanna talk, you can hit me.’ He was like, ‘Yeah’ but I could tell he was real standoffish.”

Lucas sought clarification from Royce Da 5’9″, who explained Eminem’s guarded stance, saying, “That guy’s been through a lot of stuff. He’s very closed-off from people.”

“I never understood it but when I was experiencing the sh*t I was experiencing, I got it instantly. I’m like, ‘This is why this motherf**ker doesn’t want new friends.'”
