Eminem Triumphs at the AMAs: Wins First Awards in 15 Years, Proving Slim Shady’s Legacy Lives On

Eminem made a triumphant return to the spotlight at this year’s American Music Awards, taking home two major honors: Favourite Male Hip Hop Artist and Favourite Hip Hop Album for The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce). These wins mark his first AMA victories in 15 years, a testament to the enduring loyalty of his fanbase.

In the hotly contested Favourite Male Hip Hop Artist category, Eminem edged out heavyweights like Drake, Future, Kendrick Lamar, and Tyler, The Creator. Meanwhile, his album TDOSS beat some of the biggest names in the industry, including Future & Metro Boomin’s We Don’t Trust You, Gunna’s One of Wun, Kendrick Lamar’s GNX, and Tyler’s Chromakopia.

Although Kendrick Lamar’s Not Like Us claimed the coveted Favourite Hip Hop Song award, continuing his remarkable winning streak, Eminem’s victories in two major categories cement his place as a fan favorite. Even after more than two decades in the game, Slim Shady’s influence remains unmatched, defying the ever-changing trends of the music industry.

Eminem himself was quick to show his gratitude, delivering a heartfelt acceptance speech that highlighted his appreciation for the fans who have supported him throughout his career. While acknowledging Kendrick’s impressive run and even predicting his Grammy sweep, Em humbly reflected on the power of his fans to keep him at the top.

The night wasn’t just about awards — it was a celebration of Eminem’s legacy. His wins serve as a reminder that, even after 20-plus years, Slim Shady is still a force to be reckoned with in the world of hip hop. The people have spoken, and they’ve made it clear: Eminem remains their favourite.
