AceShowbiz - Metro Boomin has declared his interest in being featured in Eminem's new album. Upon learning that Slim Shady broke the news about his next record, the "Like That" hitmaker revealed that he wanted to collaborate with "The Real Slim Shady" rapper in the upcoming set.

On Thursday, April 25, the 30-year-old hip-hop artist/music producer went public with his particular interest via social media. Making use of X, formerly known as Twitter, he wrote, "Somebody please tell Eminem I'm tryna lock in!!!" adding a slew of padlock emojis.

After sharing the tweet, Metro received mixed responses from X users, including those who assumed that Eminem will not feature Metro due to the latter's feud with Drake, who is also known as Drizzy. In the replies section of the tweet, one in particular wrote, "Nice try drummer boy."

The user also uploaded a video from Eminem's interview in the past. In the short clip, Slim Shady could be heard saying, "Drake is always gonna be in my good graces because he did something for one of my daughters that I will never forget. And he will be in my graces with that. And I like Drake."

Similarly, another urged, "Let it go man. It's getting sad." In contrast, a third supported Metro's intention, "Eminem on a Metro beat is an absolute must!!!" In addition, a fourth exclaimed, "if I get Eminem on Metro production i might actually die happy."

The tweet came shortly after Eminem announced that he has a new album titled "The Death of Slim Shady" coming out soon. Earlier that day, he shared the exciting news via Instagram by simply writing, "THE DEATH OF SLIM SHADY (COUP DE GRACE). Summer 2024."

On the same social media platform and YouTube, Eminem released a teaser video for the record. The footage features himself, his longtime pal 50 Cent and a detective, who discussed a made-up crime scene where Slim Shady was murdered.
