The name Ronda Rousey was everywhere when she shocked the world by being the first woman to sign with the UFC. It was a historical moment for women’s MMA. She also became the first-ever women’s Bantamweight Champion in the company. This paired with her being the only woman to carry championships in both WWE and UFC skyrocketed her popularity.
Being a part of the pop culture mythos also means being susceptible to its sarcasm. And Rousey experienced this firsthand with many projects and movies that she did. But she will never forget one instance of this when Grammy-winning artist Eminem included her in a rap verse.

The Rap God is notorious for including celebrities in his raps and also painting female celebs in his own dreamland. But Rousey’s inclusion in his verse was more respectable than insulting.
Ronda Rousey addresses Eminem’s rap verse on Jimmy Kimmel
In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, Kimmel brings up Eminem’s newest song at the time, ShadyXV. This song had lyrics about the UFC star and when asked about it she responded, “Well, you know he’s[Eminem] a great artist, and art isn’t meant to be nice, it’s meant to make you think something.”
Kimmel then asked whether she thought the comments were insulting to her, to which Rousey replied, “I don’t know, don’t really care, but I like being called a Slaughterhouse in a Blouse. I think that’s cool and I might not be perfect but parts of me are pretty awesome. And I think if Eminem took like the a** Pepsi challenge, he would totally pick me as his favorite.”
The lyrics in question go like this, “If Ronda Rousey was on the couch with the co***ms out/Holding a thousand Magnums at once to pounce me/I’ll laugh in response to how she dances and flaunts it around me/Her flat little badonkadonk is bouncing around/And all I see is Paulie Malign now, she’s slaughterhouse in a blouse.”
