Fans quickly took to X (formerly Twitter) to react. Some were thrilled by Eminem's apparent involvement, with one user declaring 'YUKON' the 'second best song on the album,' and others calling it 'fire' and 'one of my favs.' However, many questioned the extent of Eminem's contribution. Several users speculated that Bieber had sampled a lyric from Eminem's 2011 track 'Untitled,' particularly the line, 'Get a move on, like U-Haul,' which may have led to Eminem being legally credited.

While some hoped the credit hinted at a deeper collaboration, others dismissed it as a routine legal listing. 'That means literally nothing,' one user wrote. 'He is legally obligated to list Eminem. It's still unclear which song was sampled.' Theories continued circulating, but most agreed the credit likely stems from sample clearance rather than a new partnership.

That means literally nothing, probably just used a sample so they had to credit em — ViperAceFilms (@ace6_viper) July 11, 2025
Though Bieber and Eminem haven't collaborated before, they've acknowledged each other publicly. In 2013, The Sun reported that Eminem reached out to Bieber during a rough patch, encouraging therapy. Later, in 2018, Eminem name-dropped Bieber in a freestyle, prompting Bieber to criticize the rapper's views on younger artists.
SWAG is Bieber's first full-length release since Justice (2021), and its rollout included billboard campaigns across Reykjavík, New York, and Los Angeles. Promotional visuals featured Bieber, his wife Hailey, and their son Jack Blues. Whether Eminem's credit was intentional or incidental, it has certainly drawn fresh attention to Bieber's evolving musical direction.

Selena Gomez's kidney donor, Francia Raisa signals support for Justin Bieber fueling feud rumours
Francia Raisa has reignited speculation over her friendship with Selena Gomez after sharing an Instagram post that featured Justin Bieber's new song 'Daisies.' The track, a heartfelt dedication to Hailey Bieber from his latest album Swag, played in the background of Raisa's behind-the-scenes content from Celebrity Family Feud. Bieber later reshared the post to his Instagram Stories, sparking renewed interest in Raisa's apparent support. In the caption, Raisa wrote, 'Spoiler Alert: We Won! I had so much fun playing Celebrity Family Feud with my familia. What made it really special was getting to play for a cause that meant something personal.' She revealed the episode was filmed the same weekend as her late friend Supanna's birthday, a connection that made the experience deeply meaningful. Raisa's team played for The Breasties, a cancer support nonprofit. Still, fans focused on her song choice. With 'Daisies' being a known tribute to Hailey Bieber and Raisa's former best friend, Selena Gomez, notably absent from the post, users on social media speculated whether this marked the end of their once-close bond. Bieber's quiet repost only added to the intrigue. Raisa and Gomez have had a complex relationship since Raisa famously donated a kidney to the singer in 2017. While they've both downplayed reports of a rift, public interactions have been minimal in recent years. Now, with Raisa embracing a track by Gomez's most high-profile ex, fans are left wondering if the silence between them speaks volumes.

Hailey's skin flares as Justin's money mess explodes
Hailey Bieber is showing the cracks behind the picture-perfect façade, revealing the physical toll her husband Justin Bieber's money troubles have taken on her. The 28-year-old model and Rhode founder posted a filtered selfie on Instagram Stories showing a red rash around her chin, disclosing she's experiencing a perioral dermatitis flare-up. She attributed the skin issue to a mix of stress, travel, hormones, and product irritation. The timing of her post couldn't be more telling. Justin is still reeling from a reported multi-million-dollar settlement with former manager Scooter Braun. Hailey recently sold her skincare company Rhode to e.l.f. Cosmetics for $1 billion, prompting speculation that Justin may be relying on her windfall to bail him out. Hailey's rep has denied any financial entanglement, calling the Rhode deal a standalone achievement, but rumours persist. In a sharp rebuttal to online gossip, Hailey listed her minimalist skincare routine and emphasized her own health. But insiders suggest her calm tone masks growing tension behind closed doors. Just days earlier, Hailey subtly took aim at Braun while defending Justin's new album Swag, a project she reportedly supported from start to finish. Despite their united front, whispers of strain continue. The online fallout has been fast and furious. Hailey's recent posts have ignited fan speculation over her well-being and the couple's financial future. While Justin has remained silent, others in their orbit are pulling away. A new twist emerged when fans noticed the CEO's wife updated her Facebook profile, removing his last name before deactivating her account entirely. Even Justin's LinkedIn comments are now locked down. With money, marriage, and image all in flux, Hailey's flare-up might just be the most visible symptom of a scandal still unfolding behind the scenes.
