Eminem reportedly kept JID‘s widely acclaimed verse on “Fuel” in the vault for around three years.
Released last year on The Death of Slim Shady, JID claimed that he actually sent the rap legend his verse in 2021.
Replying to a fan on X, in a since deleted post, the Dreamville rapper said he laid the verse “Years before it dropped, whatever year Kellen Mond got drafted.”
Former Texas A&M quarterback Mond was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in 2021 and is referenced by JID on the record.

He raps on the track: “All of my n-ggas gon’ ride with it / In the pocket, the rocket like Kellen Mond.”
Eminem recently picked up a couple of trophies at the American Music Awards courtesy of The Death of Slim Shady.
The rap legend caused quite an upset at the awards ceremony, winning Favorite Hip Hop Artist and Favorite Hip Hop Album over expected victor, Kendrick Lamar.
One person who was not on board with the decision was popular streamer, Kai Cenat.

While his appearance is only brief and Em seems to be wearing a disguise, the rap legend makes a notable impression, calling the title character a “jackass” as they appear to start rowing.
Sandler recently hyped up Eminem’s appearance in the long-awaited comedy sequel during an appearance on The Dan Patrick Show.
He said: “Eminem was cool, he came by, he was great. I’ve known Eminem for a long time, he’s a great guy and he came in and was funny as hell. I think we just hung out a day with Eminem and he just shot and shot and he was insane. [He] said a million things we can use and a million that we’re glad we have him on tape.”
