Eminem Fan Gets 16 Tattoos Of His Face, Breaking A Record

It’s no secret that Eminem has one of the most loyal fanbases across all music genres. The legendary Detroit emcee has had a storied career and, throughout it all, his supporters have been there to back him up.

Em is well aware of how his fans can get, releasing the song “Stan” back in 2000. Twenty years later, his fans are still achieving outrageous feats to show their love to the 47-year-old, with one woman recently breaking a record with the number of tattoos she has of Em’s face.

While Nikki Patterson didn’t incessantly write the rapper letters and copy his every move like the infamous “Stan”, the 35-year-old woman from Aberdeen, Scotland has done something even more extreme, breaking the Guinness World Record for having the highest number of tattoos depicting the same musician on her body.

The woman, who goes by @crazyeminemlady on Instagram, has seen the rapper perform live seven times and has been so inspired by his story that she decided to dedicate most of her body to him. In a new feature from Inked Magazine, she showed off her twenty-eight tattoos of the rapper, with sixteen showing his face.

She broke the Guinness World Record just prior to the pandemic, getting her latest Em tattoo in March.

“The portraits began three years ago, and I loved everything about them,” said Nikki to the BBC. “I adored them and had to get more. He’s been the one constant in my life, and I have seen him perform live.”

This is dedication to the next degree.

Would you ever get this many tattoos of your favorite artist?

Billy Chuck Da Goat finds his flow on new release “Vibez”

Billy Chuck Da Goat’s latest release, “Vibez,” has a laid-back, hypnotic bounce that makes it easy to listen to without ever feeling empty. It makes a place where calmness and quiet confidence come together.

“Vibez” was made on purpose, but it also sounds simple. Billy Chuck’s smooth delivery flows through the production without rushing or pushing anything. Instead, he lets the rhythm breathe, allowing people to get into the song at their own pace. This laid-back energy is the best part of the song, nothing feels forced, which is exactly what it’s trying to do.

The track changes to fit whatever you need it for, like a late-night drive, a focused workout, or a way to unwind after a long day. It has a quiet edge of confidence, it’s not loud or bragging, but it’s steady and sure of itself.

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”

François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.

François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.

The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.

“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
