Adult entertainment star Ryan Keely has publicly called out Eminem and the production company Synapse Virtual Production for not paying her for her role in his latest music video, “Houdini.” Keely, who made a brief appearance in the video, took to social media to address the issue directly. In a tweet tagging both Eminem and Synapse Virtual Production, she thanked the rapper for including her in the project but asked if they could “do one more trick” and send her the check for her work.

Keely’s tweet sparked various reactions from fans and followers. She detailed the extensive effort involved in her brief appearance, including the time spent on hair and makeup. Responding to a fan’s question about her hair, she explained that it took three bags of clip-in extensions and a fourth bag of tape-in extensions to achieve the final look, highlighting the significant work that goes into even a short on-screen appearance.
Many social media users supported Keely’s request, stating that she should be paid for her work. One commenter pointed out that the company, not Eminem, should be responsible for the payment but agreed that she deserved to be compensated. Another user emphasized the behind-the-scenes work involved, including multiple takes and acting directions, which justify her demand for payment.

The “Houdini” video is part of Eminem’s upcoming album, “The Death of Slim Shady,” which hints at a significant shift away from the iconic alter ego that has been central to his music for decades. The album’s title has led to speculation about the future direction of Eminem’s career, with some fans concerned that the rapper might be considering retirement.
Keely’s public appeal for payment underscores the importance of fair compensation for all contributors in the entertainment industry, regardless of the role’s size. As discussions continue, fans and industry observers await responses from Synapse Virtual Production and Eminem regarding the payment issue.
