Eminem has selected legendary hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan to perform at halftime during the Detroit Lions' Thanksgiving Day game.
The Detroit native and Grammy-winning rapper, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, was tapped to curate the halftime entertainment for the annual holiday showcase at Ford Field. His choice of the Staten Island-based collective, known for their influential 1993 debut "Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)," brings an iconic East Coast hip-hop act to the Motor City's biggest football stage.
The Lions' Thanksgiving tradition dates back to 1934, making it one of the NFL's most enduring holiday fixtures. This year's matchup will feature the halftime performance as part of the league's ongoing integration of major musical acts into its marquee games.
The booking has not been officially confirmed by the NFL or the Lions organization.
