If you’re an Eminem fan, this is your chance to dig into Mom’s Spaghetti. The Grammy-winning rapper has brought his Detroit restaurant’s famous pop-up to the Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, running until Sunday.
This exciting experience is a collaboration between Shady Records and Global Venture Partners (GVP). It’s more than just pasta—after Abu Dhabi, the pop-up heads to Riyadh’s Soundstorm Festival from December 12 to 14.
Exclusive Slim Shady Merchandise
At Fort Shady, fans can grab limited-edition Eminem merchandise created especially for the Middle East. From exclusive memorabilia to immersive retail displays, it’s a dream for any Slim Shady fan.
Eminem’s longtime manager, Paul Rosenberg, shared his excitement about this expansion:
“Bringing ‘Mom’s Spaghetti’ to fans in the Middle East has been a long time coming. We’ve had incredible demand from fans in this part of the world, and we’re thrilled to finally bring the pop-up experience and exclusive merchandise to these iconic events. It’s a chance to connect with fans and share a taste of Detroit with them.”
From Detroit to the World
Mom’s Spaghetti started as a series of pop-ups in 2017, inspired by Eminem’s iconic lyrics from Lose Yourself, a hit song from the 8 Mile soundtrack. Its popularity led to a permanent location in Detroit in 2021.
The name is also a heartfelt nod to Eminem’s late mother, Debbie Nelson, who passed away last week.
Eminem’s UAE Performances
In addition to opening the pop-up, Eminem wowed fans during the Yasalam After-Race Concerts in Abu Dhabi on December 7. This marks his third performance in the UAE, following shows at Etihad Park in 2012 and 2019.
With 12 studio albums under his belt, Eminem’s legendary hits like The Real Slim Shady and Mockingbird continue to dominate playlists worldwide.
