Eminem Opens 2024 VMAs with 'Houdini' and 'Somebody Save Me'

The rapper's performance featured a nostalgic nod to his Slim Shady persona and marked the TV debut of his latest album, 'The Death of Slim Shady.'

Eminem kicked off the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards with a high-energy performance of 'Houdini' and 'Somebody Save Me.'
The performance included a visual homage to his early 2000s Slim Shady persona, featuring Eminem and his lookalikes in bleach-blond wigs.
'Houdini,' the lead single from his 12th studio album, 'The Death of Slim Shady,' reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Jelly Roll, who features on 'Somebody Save Me,' appeared via pre-recorded footage due to his tour commitments.
Eminem is nominated for eight VMAs this year, including Artist of the Year, and could become the male artist with the most VMA awards if he wins another statue.
