In her recent episode of Just A Little Shady podcast, Hailie and her long-time friend and co-host Brittany Ednie discussed the many awkward moments at the MTV Video Music Awards and elsewhere. At one point during the conversation, Hailie briefly talked about Eminem just recently opening the 2024 MTV VMAs ceremony with “Houdini” from his 12th solo studio album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce).

“I feel like there was a lot of kind of going back to old performances and stuff. Like, even dad did the old performance, like, he brought out all the people that looks like him. The funny was, when that was going on, Alaina was also here watching with us and she looks at and she’s like ‘you should do that for the Halloween!’ Like, get a blonde wig and put on a beard and then our friend was here too and he’s like ‘you look just like him. You should have been on the stage.’ I was like ‘thank you, thanks a lot.’ So, that’s up in the air. Maybe I’ll do it and dress like that for one of the Halloween episodes. That’d be hilarious.” said Hailie.

Eminem, who appeared wearing a black T-shirt and bleached hair at the VMAs opening performance, brought out a crew of his alter egos on stage and a lookalike of his younger self, just like he did it in 2001.

The Detroit legend was later joined by Jelly Roll, who made a virtual appearance to perform their collaboration “Somebody Save Me,” the fourth single of the album. Roll was not able to attend the award in person due to his commitment to his tour but he definitely watched the live performance with his crew.
