Tobey

About this song

"Tobey" is the second single from Eminem's twelfth studio album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), and features fellow Detroit rappers Big Sean and BabyTron. Big Sean and BabyTron were featured in the video for "Doomsday Pt. 2". The track was announced on X and Instagram on June 28, four days before its release, along with a teaser for a music video directed by Cole Bennett. It was first slated to appear as a bonus on Bennett's compilation All Is Yellow, but Bennett later said it exists on Eminem's album.

What it's about

The title pays homage to actor Tobey Maguire, who played Peter Parker in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy and later in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The song draws a parallel between Maguire's mentoring role across two generations of Spider-Men in Spider-Man: No Way Home and Eminem's relationship with Big Sean and BabyTron.
