Joyner Lucas explains why Eminem stays private.
Joyner Lucas made his return with a brand new album “Not Now I’m Busy”, his second studio album, and a follow-up to his 2020 debut effort “ADHD”. For the promo run, the rapper made an appearance on The Breakfast Club for a new interview.
In the conversation, the Massachusetts rapper talked about how difficult it is to get in touch with Eminem, and why the Detroit rapper stays private. “It made me realize why people like Marshall move a certain way,” he said. “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 ni–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.’”
He continued, “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.”
“I always wondered why this ni–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. I asked Royce [Da 5’9″] why he’s like that. He was like, ‘That ni–a’s been through a lot of sh-t. 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.’,” he concludes.
