Eminem has been mocked by the eldest son of former United States president, Donald Trump Jr., after false news have been spread about Slim Shady making critical comments o his father.
Donald Trump Jr. took to X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday (June 6, 2024) to attack Marshall Mathers in response to a viral post claiming that he has vowed to “leave America if Trump is elected.” Trump Jr. replied by poking fun at Em’s appearance, writing above a photo of the Detroit icon: “Are you really telling me that’s not Ellen DeGeneres????”However, it appears that Trump Jr. fell for fake news as there’s no evidence that the rapper made such comments and X flagged it as a spam news.
Many fans on X roasted him for going against Eminem. “bro has more money than you’ll ever have dreamed of achieving without grifting off your dad.” said one of the users. Another said: “Go ahead. Make an enemy of Eminem. We all know where that will go. Someone said: “Nepo-Barbie has thoughts on Eminem. Good luck kid.”
Despite this, Eminem has been made no secret of his disdain for Donald Trump in the past. Slim Shady called out the controversial businessman turned politician on his song “Campaign Speech” which was released shortly before the 2016 presidential election (which Trump won).
“You say Trump don’t kiss a-s like a puppet/ ‘Cause he runs his campaign with his own cash for the fundin’/ And that’s what you wanted/ A f–kin’ loose cannon who’s blunt with his hand on the button/ Who doesn’t have to answer to no one –great idea!” Em rapped.
Em also called Trump a “b–ch” in his verse on Big Sean‘s “No Favors” which dropped a few weeks after he took office. Eminem’s most notable lyrical attack, however, came during his 2017 BET Hip-Hop Awards Cypher where he urged his huge fanbase to pick a side. “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: F–k you!” Eminem rapped. He continued: “The rest of America, stand up!/ We love our military, and we love our country/ But we f–kin’ hate Trump!” Eminem also dissed Trump in several songs on Revival album, including “Like Home” with Alicia Keys and “Nowhere Fast” with Kehlani.
