The Detroit Lions were about to win the NFC Title this time. However, the San Francisco 49ers, who are known as second-half specialists, made a strong comeback in the fourth quarter, pulling away a 3-point win from them. Although the Niners fans are enthralled at the moment, the Lions’ fans, especially Eminem, are disappointed, yet proud of their favorite team.
Eminem has often been seen at Ford Field, and he even recorded a fun video before his Lions’ wildcard playoff game against the Los Angeles Rams. In the video, he asked former Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford to “let us have this one,” via a rap. This time the rapper traveled to support his team in San Francisco, where he witnessed his team’s potential winning hopes collapsing.
No matter what, Eminem will forever be a Detroit fan!

Eminem is a big fan of the Lions and has been attending all the playoff games this year. This didn’t change on January 28, Sunday, as he was in San Francisco at the Levi’s Stadium to support his hometown team. If the Lions had won this game, they would have made history by winning their first NFC title, and reaching the Super Bowl for the first time. But now they are heading back to their home.
Additionally, before the loss, when his team was leading the Levi’s Stadium early in the game, Eminem made it clear to the 49ers fans that he is there to support his team wholeheartedly. In a playful manner, he indicated to them that he was in a positive and cheerful mood.
