The music video of ‘Higher’, Eminem’s latest song, was aired during the UFC Vegas 18 broadcast. In the video, the 48-year-old rapper was seen appearing at a UFC press conference while indulging in a scuffle with a faceless opponent.
Many fans were left confused as to whether ‘Slim Shady’ was teasing a possible career change, which may see him fight in the UFC. However, in reality, Eminem is only promoting his new track in his partnership with the world’s leading mixed martial arts promotion.
A few weeks ago, Eminem was seen exchanging words with UFC president Dana White on ESPN’s SportsCenter, which was just a teaser of his latest song.
It was later revealed that the whole segment was just posted in the wake of a new partnership between Eminem and the UFC.
ESPN, UFC’s official broadcasting network, also thanked the rapper for being on board with the promotional segment.
