00:06 CNN reports that Eminem has asked Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to
00:10 stop performing his version of the rapper's "Lose Yourself".
00:15 Ramaswamy performed his rendition of Eminem's hit song at the Iowa State Fair.
00:22 According to BMI, a performing rights organization, the Ramaswamy campaign was notified that it
00:27 will no longer license the campaign to use the rapper's music.
00:30 In an August 23rd letter, BMI said that the rapper, professionally known as Eminem, objects
00:35 to the campaign's use of his musical compositions.
00:40 The letter was reportedly sent over a week after Ramaswamy performed the song in Iowa.
00:47 CNN reports that a representative for the campaign said that it will comply with Eminem's
00:51 request to stop using his music.
00:56 Vivek just got on stage and cut loose.
00:58 "To the American people's chagrin, we will have to leave the rapping to the real Slim
01:01 Shady," his campaign spokesperson told CNN.
01:05 CNN reports that Ramaswamy is the youngest presidential candidate at 38 years old.
01:11 His campaign has leaned heavily on his ability to better connect with a younger group of
01:15 voters than his GOP competition.
01:18 "I think I am the only candidate who has the capability of delivering a Reagan, 1980-style
01:23 victory with a multi-ethnic, working-class coalition, particularly of people who are
01:27 not just older but people who are younger, who we bring into our party," he said.
