The rapper said his fans need to pick between Trump or him.
Eminem on Tuesday night (Oct. 10) blasted President Donald Trump in a politically charged freestyle rap at the BET Hip Hop Awards.
In the more than 4-minute video called „You Ain’t My President!,“ which was played at the show, Eminem said he „came to stomp.“
„But we better give Obama props because what we got in office now is a kamikaze that will probably cause a nuclear holocaust,“ Eminem rapped.
In the video, set in a parking garage with black men behind the rapper, Eminem mentions the NFL anthem protest, Colin Kaepernick, Steve Bannon, Puerto Rico, racism, the Las Vegas shooting, Hillary Clinton, Charlottesville, the KKK, the military, Sen. John McCain, immigration and the proposed Mexico border wall, among other issues.
He ended the video by saying his fans need to make a choice.
„Any fan of mine who’s a supporter of his, I’m drawing in the sand a line,“ Eminem rapped. „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 — f— you.“
This isn’t the first time Eminem has been critical of Trump. His 2016 „Campaign Speech“ single was critical of the president and his fans, plus he’s been vocal on stage of his disdain for Trump.
