Eminem was spotted at Ford Field stadium alongside Big Sean during the Los Angeles Rams vs. Detroit Lions game on Sunday

Ahead of the Detroit Lions vs Los Angeles Rams game on Sunday, hip-hop veteran Eminem asked Matthew Stafford for a huge favour. The Rap God hitmaker and Stafford go way back, as Eminem rooted for him for 12 seasons before his exit from the Lions. The 51-year-old rapper, who has been a Lions fan for decades, asked the Rams quarterback, “Can you just let us have this one?”
