More than a week ago, the biotech entrepreneur performed “Lose Yourself” at the Iowa State Fair impromptu.

BMI, Eminem’s record company, sent the letter on 23 August.

As the presumed Republican nominee for 2024, Ramaswamy is seeking to unseat Donald Trump.

Ramaswamy says he will comply with Eminem’s request, whose real name is Marshall Mathers III.

It says the company “received a communication from” Eminem objecting to the Republican’s use of his “musical compositions”.

From this date on, BMI will consider any performance of the Eminem works by Vivek 2024 to be a material breach of its licence. In a statement to US media, campaign spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin quoted an Eminem lyric: “Vivek just got on stage and cut loose.”

Sadly, we will have to leave the rapping to the real slimy shady.”

Using X, formally known as Twitter, Ramaswamy made light of the situation.

“Will The REAL Slim Shady Please Stand Up? He didn’t just say what I think he said, did he?” he asked.

After a strong performance at last week’s Republican debate, the 38-year-old political newcomer is considered a rising star.

Former President Trump has positioned himself as an outsider willing to advance his “America First” agenda.

In American politics, cease and desist letters are sent to politicians over their campaign song choices.

Several record stars, including the Rolling Stones, Queen, Adele, and Pharrell Williams, informed Mr. Trump that he did not have permission to use their music during his campaign and presidential campaign.

The Foo Fighters criticized Republican John McCain for using their song My Hero during his presidential campaign, and Jackson Browne sued the campaign to stop using the song “Running on Empty”.
