Origin & Spread
The base image comes from a 2020 promotional photoshoot for Eminem's album Music to Be Murdered By. In the original photograph, Eminem is holding a burning axe. Internet users edited out the axe, leaving his hand in a forced-perspective position that looks like he is throwing something directly at the camera.
In early 2021, the template spread as part of the "Woe, Plague Be Upon Ye" shitposting trend, where people photoshopped random items like bricks, coins, or 3D low-poly models into his hand.
On February 1st, 2026, Twitter/X user @D4rkDessire posted a combination showing Eminem throwing a rose next to a first-person perspective image of a person reacting in shock. The post accumulated over 207,000 likes in one week. Following this post, digital artists on Twitter/X began using the layout as a redraw template, substituting Eminem and the shocked person with various fictional characters.
