    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Vivek Ramaswamy thought he could show off his rap “skills” on the campaign trail — but he’s getting a legal halt from Eminem instead.

    BMI, the company in charge of Eminem’s compositions, sent a cease and desist letter on Aug. 23 to the Republican presidential hopeful, asking that he stop performing Slim Shady’s tracks.

    His response comes after he received a letter from BMI that asked that Eminem’s work be removed from a licensing contract Ramaswamy had in place.

    “BMI will consider any performance of the Eminem Works by the Vivek 2024 campaign from this date forward to be a material breach,” the letter read.

    To the American people’s chagrin, we will have to leave the rapping to the real slim shady,” a spokesperson for Ramaswamy’s campaign told DailyMail.com Monday.

    This story was updated on Aug. 29 at 6:30 pm ET after Vivek Ramaswamy agreed to stop using Eminem’s music on the campaign trail
