Eminem had an aggressive message for the 49ers fans on Sunday as he cheered on the Lions, but near the end, the home fans would be the ones cheering as San Francisco pulled off a comeback victory to advance to the Super Bowl.
The rapper, who grew up near Detroit, was in attendance at Levi’s Stadium as his team looked to win the first Super Bowl in franchise history.
And he was caught giving a double middle finger to San Francisco supporters from his suite.
The Lions started the game on the front foot, racing out to a 24-7 halftime lead, but fell apart in the second half as the 49ers won 34-31.
Before the game, ‘Slim Shady’ had jokingly appealed to Detroit head coach Dan Campbell to include him in the game.

He wore a Lions T-shirt and hat to Sunday’s game.
āYo Dan, I’m reporting, I’m going to report (in the) third quarter. “I’ll be reporting, offensive line, eligible receiver, I’ll be the quarterback, the whole offensive line and the receiver, and I’ll throw it to myself and I’ll score a touchdown in the third quarter,” he said in a Instagram videoas communicated by the New York Post.
‘Give me a uniform, or at least a helmet. I already have a helmet, but it’s not for football. It’s just a helmet. But yeah man, I’m here, bro. I’ll be there, I’ll be there that night, I’ll adjust and score the winning touchdown for us.ā
Brock Purdy threw for 267 yards and a touchdown as the 49ers rallied from 17 points down at halftime.

The 49ers (14-5) scored 17 points in an eight-minute span of the third quarter to tie the NFC championship game, then pulled away in the fourth quarter to earn a rematch against Kansas City after losing to the Chiefs in the Super Bowl four years ago.
‘We played as poorly as we could in the first half, but we were still within seventeen points. There are plenty of things you can make up for,ā Niners coach Kyle Shanahan said.
āThe D shut them out in the second half and this guy next to me (Purdy) made it happen.ā
San Francisco pulled off its fourth-ever comeback from trailing by 17 points or more in a conference title game, thanks to some big plays by Purdy and foul mistakes by the Lions (14-6), including two failed fourth downs from field goal range.
