Eminem was in the minority at Levi's Stadium in San Francisco on Sunday, while rooting for his hometown Detroit Lions against the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game.
But that didn't stop him from having some friendly critiques with the 49ers faithful in the stands.
Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, was seen in his suite flipping the bird to 49ers fans, who were doing the same, while wearing his Lions gear. He has been at every Detroit home game during these NFL playoffs, where his team won against both the Los Angeles Rams and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to reach the penultimate game of the season.

Although the middle finger is usually an insult, Eminem did it for fun as both parties laughed at the end. Of course, some on social media didn't take it that way, as the video can certainly be taken out of context.
But one X user pointed out another video, where Eminem was seen posing for photos with 49ers fans who loved seeing him at the game despite their different allegiances.
Eminem was certainly having fun with the 49ers fans, but he probably wasn't smiling at the end of the game.
The first half was probably quite the scenario in their suite, as the Lions shocked the 49ers with a 24-7 halftime lead thanks to three rushing touchdowns from three different players.

However, the scoring onslaught the Lions had in the first half was what the 49ers came out with in the second half. San Francisco scored 27 unanswered points on the Lions and, despite a late touchdown to make the score 34-31, a miracle onside kick didn't work.

So the Lions' streak of never playing in the Super Bowl since that era began in the NFL continues, and all the Detroit fans like Eminem are feeling sad this Monday.
On the positive side, the Lions have seen steady progress under head coach Dan Campbell, who was criticized for his decisions to go for fourth-and-short on multiple occasions. He's been doing it all season, but quarterback Jared Goff didn't convert any of them, leading the 49ers to points on subsequent drives.
But there's no denying that the Lions have the group to get back to this point next season, where Eminem will be hoping for a different outcome than the one he witnessed in the Bay Area on Sunday.
