Melbourne rapper 360 reveals he wasn’t allowed to speak to Eminem when he was opening for the superstar during a tour of Australia
Australian rapper 360 recently revealed he wasn’t allowed to speak to Eminem when he performed for him during his 2014 Down Under tour.
The 37-year-old Melbourne artist shared a video on TikTok in which he revealed the surprising terms he had to agree to in order to be booked as Eminem’s opening act.
“I met opening mates Kendrick Lamar and J Cole, they were super nice and chilled. “But I haven’t met Eminem,” he began.
“I had strict instructions not to approach him because he has a reputation on par with Michael Jackson.”
Still, 360 – who was born Matthew Colwell – said the global superstar’s performance during his Rapture Tour was an experience of a lifetime.
“They’re probably one of the main reasons I got into rapping, and to end up supporting him was, and still is, overwhelming.”
Many of the 360 followers were quick to support him and wondered why the Stan hitmaker wouldn’t hook up with him.
“I’m a huge EM fan but you’d think he would at least hang out with you out of respect,” one fan wrote, while another added, “It makes him look like he got his act together.”

Earlier this year, it was reported that Eminem was “100 percent in negotiations” to tour Australia next year.
According to radio host Mark “Roo” Ricciuto, the tour isn’t finalized, but talks are ongoing.
Speaking on his 104.7 Triple M radio show in June, Mark said a source had told him the tour would take place early to mid next year after claims Slim Shady would make it to the Australian coast in late 2023.

“They’re 100 percent in negotiations… but it’s not over yet.” “Ticketek and Adelaide Oval are involved,” Mark said.
“It won’t be in 2023… it will be between the Adelaide Oval Test match against the West Indies and the first round of football,” he added.
The concert dates are somewhere between the end of January 2024 and mid-March 2024.
Eminem has toured Australia many times throughout his career, most recently in 2019.
