After Eminem’s performance of his new single “Berzerk” on Saturday Night Live, many are beginning to speculate that the rapper may have been lip-syncing.
The actions of Slim Shady during his performance have viewers convinced that he was in fact lip-syncing. The reason being that during the performance the rapper had pulled the mic away from his mouth while vocals continued to play.
A spokesperson for the rapper told E! News that the 41-year old “was not lip-syncing” and that he “doubles his vocals live. Rhymes over a vocal track. He only does it sporadically through the songs. They’re accent tracks.”
Ashlee Simpson had been ridiculed when she was caught lip-syncing during her SNL performance back in 2004, and it seems that Slim Shady may be getting by with a free pass.
