Detroit rapper Eminem has never been shy about attacking his adversaries, NEVER. And if you didn’t know where he stood, he unequivocally stated his position and disdain for President Trump during the 2017 BET Hip Hop Freestyle Cypher. He also dedicated several lyrics in support for Colin Kaepernick and other NFL player who’ve chosen to kneel in protest.
Eminem’s lyrics in the 2017 BET Cypher Link: The Storm Eminem Verse
Colin Kaepernick immediately reacted on Twitter by thanking Eminem for his support.
Twitter was quick to react, including LeBron James and fellow rapper J. Cole…
I think it’s a foregone conclusion that Trump will respond… but should he is probably the better question?
Eminem explicitly drew a line in the sand for his fans who choose to support Trump, assuming many of them are considered the “working class” – will they listen to Eminem? Many Republican’s and celebrities have publicly denounced Trump and it seems to have had little effect on his base. Will Eminem’s appeal be any different?

Eminem addressed more issues in this country in his 3-4 minute cypher than donald (no capitalization)has in 9 months. He addressed every demographic in America without offending anyone (except don, but fcuk him anyway). Em 2020? Why not? LOL! I guess I been sleep on Eminem because I had no idea he was REALLY riding with us like this, nor had I noticed the lyrical genius (don’t judge me, I’m not hip hop savvy). This actually really made me so happy. I always used to side eye Eminem because I just thought he was profiting from our culture but not speaking up/giving back when needed. TODAY I KNOW BETTER. I don’t know, this means so much to me. It makes me emotional. For him to show he really rolls with us and is in it for real. I just wasn’t expecting it. He could have just taken his millions and remained silent but he’s a rider and now I gotta go spend my weekly budget on his albums but dassokay, he deserves it. I ride for those who ride for me 🙂 Anyway, Marshall Mathers 2020! THISS IS AN ALLY.
I just hope they don’t try to discredit him because he’s hip hop and it’s a cypher on BET. Y’all know how folks on the right be actin’.
