“BMI will consider any performance of the Eminem Works by the Vivek 2024 campaign from this date forward to be a material breach of the Agreement for which BMI reserves all rights and remedies with respect thereto,” the notice read.

As of Monday afternoon, the 2024 candidate has yet to address the letter publicly.
