Eagle eyed fans have been able to spot multiple easter eggs dropped in the music video for Eminem's latest single, 'Houdini'.

Before we get to the slew of easter eggs, we must take a trip down memory lane to the release of Eminem’s 2002 hit, Without Me.

The music superstar has long been a fan of comic books and has even stated that when he was younger he wanted to be a comic book artist.

Well playing into this superhero aesthetic, the now iconic and hilarious video see’s Eminem track down a kid who bought his explicit album.

With the help of Dr Dre, dressed in his best Robin costume, the duo drive across an unknown city to stop the kid’s innocent ears hearing Eminem’s often controversial lyrics.

In his latest song, 'Houdini', that was released today (May 31), Eminem returns as ‘Rap Boy’ this time to stop his 2002 from getting him cancelled in the future.

As the pair square off they ultimately ends up fusing with that version of himself...so we got a blonde hair and a black beard and a mix of both of his styles. A weird look but we get it.

Now the new video is bursting with easter eggs referencing the Without Me song as well as a few others and long time fans have noticed each one.

Easter Egg #1
