Noted Detroit Lions fan Eminem sounded very happy to hear Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson was staying in the Motor City.
One of the hottest names on this NFL coaching cycle, Johnson reportedly decided on Tuesday to stay with Detroit after the team fell in the NFC title game on Sunday rather than take a head coaching job elsewhere.
Well, Eminem joked that Johnson staying means he can “stop recording the diss track,” hinting that he was hypothetically ready to poke some fun at Johnson for leaving his favorite team.
However, the famous rapper seems more than glad to keep Johnson around for another possible Super Bowl run this fall.
Guess I should stop recording this diss track..!! Lol!! @ Ben Johnson Thank you for staying!!! We can't break this team up ESPECIALLY since I'M on it!!! Coach Campbell we love you bro!!! Let's run it back next year!!…I'm READY!!!! I promise you I WILL get us to the super…

The Lions have been one of the best stories of the NFL season, and Eminem is one of the team’s biggest fans.
He showed up to the NFC championship game and exchanged in some spirited, NSFW banter with the San Francisco 49ers fans in attendance.
However, he still sounds ready and willing to support his team, no matter what. Johnson’s return helps the Lions tremendously (and apparently keeps the coach from getting dissed on the next Eminem album).
