Eminem is officially stepping into a new role: coach on The Voice. NBC confirmed the bombshell news earlier this week, sending shockwaves through the music world and sparking instant, feverish excitement among fans worldwide. The legendary rapper, known for redefining lyrical storytelling and blazing an unrepeatable trail in hip-hop, will bring his intense energy, sharp ear, and razor-sharp mentorship to the iconic red chairs for the upcoming season. And if the buzz online is any indication, this could be The Voice’s most electrifying season yet.

Eminem is officially stepping into a new role: coach on The Voice. NBC confirmed the bombshell news earlier this week, sending shockwaves through the music world and sparking instant, feverish excitement among fans worldwide. The legendary rapper, known for redefining lyrical storytelling and blazing an unrepeatable trail in hip-hop, will bring his intense energy, sharp ear, and razor-sharp mentorship to the iconic red chairs for the upcoming season. And if the buzz online is any indication, this could be The Voice’s most electrifying season yet.

From mentor to mogul to music icon, Eminem might actually check all the boxes for a killer Voice coach.

A recent piece from Collider makes a surprisingly convincing argument for Eminem joining The Voice as a coach — and it is not just wishful thinking. The article walks through how the show has welcomed wildcard picks like Snoop Dogg and Chance the Rapper in recent years, showing a clear shift from just pop and country heavyweights to hip hop figures with a story to tell.

Eminem, the journalist argues, has plenty of that. He has mentored artists through Shady Records, built a career from scratch, and knows exactly what it means to hustle through rejection and pushback — all stuff aspiring singers can relate to. Add in the stage presence, the storytelling, and the sheer star power, and you’ve got a coach artists would line up for.

Sure, it is all hypothetical, but now that the seed’s been planted, it’s hard not to picture Slim Shady hitting that red button.

And while this scenario is still in the land of “what ifs”, it is not completely far-fetched. NBC confirmed that The Voice is returning for a 28th season, announcing on April 23 that Snoop Dogg will be back in the coaching chair.
So far, he is the only confirmed coach for Season 28 — meaning there is still room on the panel…

Eminem’s journey has never been typical.
From battling in Detroit’s underground scene to conquering global stages, his career has been built on passion, resilience, and unapologetic authenticity.

Now, he’s stepping up to pass that torch to the next generation.
And if there’s one thing we know about Eminem — he’s about to make sure The Voice will never sound the same again.
