Rapper Eminem made a surprise performance at the Oscars 2020. He performed on Lose Yourself, his first Oscar-winning hit from the year 2002. The 8 Mile song is almost 20-years-old. However, the performance received a thunderous response from the audience.
Eminem’s performance was kept highly secretive. In the year 2003, when Eminem won the Oscar for Lose Yourself, he wasn’t present to receive it. After 18 years, he wowed the audiences by his surprise performance. In a tweet, Eminem said it took 18 years for him to reach there.
Look, if you had another shot, another opportunity... Thanks for having me @TheAcademy. Sorry it took me 18 years to get here. pic.twitter.com/CmSw2hmcZo
