The United Kingdom's "The X Factor" Season 12 winner Louisa Johnson, 19, is one of the young artists who look up to "Rap God" rapper Eminem, 44. In a recent interview, the teenager had nothing but good words about the Detroit rapper.
"I used to listen to him growing up," Johnson told the Sunday Mirror, referring to Eminem. The former went on to say that the latter is "an amazing writer."
Johnson won "The X Factor" in the U.K. in December 2015. It was almost two years after Eminem released his most recent album titled "The Marshall Mathers LP 2."
Released on Nov. 5, 2015 by Goliath, Interscope and Aftermath, "The Marshall Mathers LP 2" is the eighth studio album released by Eminem. His first seven studio albums are "Infinite," "The Slim Shady LP," "The Marshall Mathers LP," "The Eminem Show," "Encore," "Relapse" and "Recovery."
Eminem is currently working on his ninth studio album, which is expected to be released in late 2017. Johnson is also busy working on his debut album nowadays. For her, it would be an honor if she had the chance to work with Eminem on new music.
The "X Factor" creator Simon Cowell has been giving Johnson a lot of advice while she is working on her debut album. According to Johnson, Cowell is a perfectionist and is "really keen to get it right."
For Johnson, it is great that she and Cowell both want to make everything perfect. She added that she is the type who is always thinking about what to do next.
In other news, the "X Factor" creator's son Eric Cowell turned three on Feb. 14. Recently, a source told Fox News that Simon spent more than $12,000 in 2016 on his son's second birthday party attended by Louis Walsh, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams.
