Watch Eminem blast Trump during brutal BET Awards freestyle
Eminem gave a blistering critique of President Trump in a nearly five-minute-long freestyle rap during Tuesday's BET Hip Hop Awards, accusing Trump of attacking the NFL as a way to distract people from gun violence and botched relief efforts in Puerto Rico, and mocking the border wall he's promised to build.
Eminem's "The Storm" touched on Charlottesville, racism, and Trump's many trips to his golf courses, and name-checked NFL free agent Colin Kaepernick and former President Barack Obama, giving him "props because what we got in the office now's a kamikaze that'll probably cause a nuclear holocaust." For those who are fans of both Eminem and Trump, the rapper said he's "drawing in the sand a line/You're either for or against/And if you can't decide who you like more in your split/Or who you should stand beside/I'll do it for you with this/F--k you."
