The Detroit-based rapper introduced former president Barack Obama earlier this week at a campaign event for Kamala Harris in the Motor City. Obama proceeded to embarrass himself by rapping the introduction to the Eminem hit Lose Yourself.
Among his many attacks on the 45th president of the United States, the rapper has accused Trump of “brainwashing” his supporters and of being a “racist.”
Those comments date back to Eminem’s acceptance speech at the 2017 BET Hip Hop Awards. It went viral at the time and has resurfaced recently online, garnering plenty more views.
In the appearance, Eminem repeatedly berated Trump.
“I will say this, he talks a good one,’ he said. ‘And if you’re in his base… let’s say you’re going to the rallies or whatever, you watch him on TV, you hear him talking this s***, there’s part of me that understands, like, alright, he’s somehow still got them because he’s brainwashing them into thinking that something great is going to happen. Nothing’s happening. Nothing is happening. I don’t know, man. I get really flustered when I talk about it.”
He even offered a new song filled with bars criticizing the former president.
“And any fan of mine/who’s a supporter of his/I’m drawing in the sand a line/you’re either for or against/and if you can’t decide/who you like more and you’re split/on who you should stand beside/I’ll do it for you with this,” he sang in the video.
The Detroit-native has never been backwards about coming forward with his thoughts and he has gone after other politicians, including Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
However, it appears Eminem has decided to fully embrace the Democratic party establishment in 2024, as rumors swirl that he is implicated in the Diddy party scandal.
Eminem joined forces with Obama to tackle Trump in his native Michigan where polls suggest Trump and Harris are neck-and-neck.
Even once Trump was in the White House, Eminem didn’t let up on his criticism.
In a December 2017 interview with New York Magazine’s Vulture, Eminem said of the then-President: “He makes my blood boil. I can’t even watch the news anymore because it makes me too stressed out.
“All jokes aside, all punch lines aside, I’m trying to get a message out there about him. I want our country to be great too, I want it to be the best it can be, but it’s not going to be that with him in charge,” he noted of Trump.
Eminem is one of several celebrities backing Harris’ bid over the former Republican president.
Singer Lizzo spoke alongside Harris during a Detroit rally last week and Usher joined Harris over the weekend in Atlanta.
John Legend has also been cheerleading for Harris in various podcast appearances this week.
