Eminem to Produce Detroit Lions’ Thanksgiving Halftime Shows

Get ready for some serious star power at the Thanksgiving Day game! The Detroit Lions have announced a groundbreaking partnership with Detroit’s own rap superstar, Eminem, and his Shady Records co-founder, Paul Rosenberg. This collaboration will see the iconic duo taking the reins in producing the team’s annual Thanksgiving halftime shows through 2027.

A Dream Team for Detroit

Rosenberg expressed his excitement about the partnership, calling it an “honor” to be involved with what he describes as “the greatest tradition in Detroit sports.” He and Eminem are set to oversee the selection of talent and the overall production of the halftime entertainment at Ford Field. Their goal? To deliver “unforgettable shows featuring world-class artists” for both the live audience and the millions watching nationwide.

Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams sees this as a major win for the local music scene. He believes Eminem’s involvement will open doors for more homegrown talent to be considered for these high-profile performances. “I think that’s good for the culture, too,” Williams stated, emphasizing the importance of having a Detroiter like Eminem help shape these events.

Elevating the Halftime Experience

Rod Wood, President and CEO of the Detroit Lions, echoed the sentiment, highlighting Eminem and Rosenberg’s immense influence in the music industry. “Their reputation in the business will attract top-tier talent and help us solidify this annual performance as one of the most anticipated cultural moments on the NFL calendar,” Wood remarked. Jesse Collins Entertainment (JCE) has also been brought on board to produce the shows.

This exciting news comes on the heels of Eminem achieving another significant milestone: surpassing 60 million streams on Spotify. This places him as the third most-streamed rapper on the platform, trailing only Drake and Travis Scott. His continued success underscores his enduring impact on the music world.
