Eminem hits a billi.
The Detroit rapper has achieved another milestone as his video for “Rap God” officially surpasses 1 billion views on YouTube. The Rich Lee-directed video for 2013’s Marshall Mathers LP 2 track is Em’s third video to join YouTube’s Billion Views Club, following “Not Afraid” (1.3 billion views) and “Love the Way You Lie” featuring Rihanna (1.9 billion views).
“A billion Stans can’t be wrong!” said Eminem in a statement. “Thanks to YouTube and the community for taking such great interest in this wild video.”
