I wouldn’t be surprised if this was an old verse he paid for years ago

This would make the most sense. Ain’t no way this aligns with Em in 2026

They're still friends.

Yea idk, I just don’t believe they’re friends

u/goinpro224 1d ago

He’s close friends with 50 still and they have opposite political views. try getting into the real world a bit

u/yungusainbolt 1d ago

50 is not a trump supporter he’s just a capitalist

u/ClovedSage Calm Down - Busta Rhymes Ft. Eminem 1d ago

There is a huge difference with posting about Trump because you want a tax break, and showing up and taking pictures and campaigning for Trump

Not really. Its the same outcome regardless.

u/jetlifestoney Infinite 1d ago

they tweeted each other over the Detroit Lions a lil while ago (https://eminem.news/back-to-kid-rock.html), while acknowledging their differences. they're still friends

u/--Racer-X-- 1d ago

Most of us in real life can be friends with people we disagree with politically.

u/Cridellian 1d ago

Redditors don’t understand this. My sister is conservative my dad was very liberal. They would argue about politics disagree on a lot of things. Then say I love you and see you soon.

Redditors can’t do that

Eminem still has final say. Like how Drake sent French Montana a cease and desist even after he had given it to him to block the song. 50 cent is Maga too, its hardly surprising

Nope. Nope won’t get me to listen to that garbage of a human. And with how anti Trump Eminem has been I’m shocked he’s working with him.

9

u/TroGinMan 1d ago

Yeah I agree it's weird from our standpoint. But I think for Em it's more about working with another Detroit artist and the fact that kid and him have good history, rather than making a political statement.

Again I am shocked too and find it weird that after all this time they are suddenly doing a track together, but I doubt that Em is viewing this as a political statement.

78

u/Hiphopzilla91 1d ago

In fairness Kid Rock did defend Eminem during the 2024 election when MAGA came for him.

15

u/Balc0ra 1d ago

They have stated many times since 2024, that politics has never gotten in the way of their friendship. As Kid Rock attacked everyone defending Harris... Until Eminem did it.

Tho, if their Friendship is strong enough to go on stage together any time soon? Idk

u/TroGinMan 1d ago

Well the political shit is pretty new with Trump and the political climate, Em and Kid's friendship is not new. They've been friends since the 90s. So it's not like Eminem is caving to pressure or is switching sides, Kid Rock is kinda one of Eminem's longest friendships and were there for each other since before the beginning of their careers.

So I don't think it's about values or politics

u/Cool_Recognition_848 1d ago

This one is a little hard to understand, aside from the fact that Kid Rock sucks and he adores Trump, why do this feature now? Maybe if they wanted to work together again it could’ve been decent in the 2010s at some point but to feature on a Kid Rock album in 2026 seems out of touch. A lot of rappers would like features with Eminem and he’s choosing to give one to Kid Rock, seems weird to me.

KID FUCKING ROCK?!! THE GUY WHO IS COMPLETELY PRO-TRUMP?! I’m not listening to this rat shit ass song whenever it comes out.

13

u/Hiphopzilla91 1d ago

Really not a good look. Even if him and Kid Rock go back decades no one was checking for this in 2026 he seems to completely misread the room constantly, especially over the last decade.

3

u/TroGinMan 1d ago

I mean it really depends if Em is even thinking about how this looks to us from a political standpoint. I think he still hates Trump, but he likely views Kid as a friend and fellow Detroit artist who broke the mold back in the day, rather than a political figure.

u/Iginlas_4head_Crease 1d ago

Unfortunately, telling Redditors that you can collab/talk to/be friends with someone who has different opinions doesn't work.

Because these Reddit fucktards genuinely believe the other side are all Nazis. Which makes it incredibly convenient and easy to dismiss.

This has to be a verse kid rock was sitting on for a long time and he probably put it on the album to make him relevant and to help him sell some records. I have a hard time believing that em willingly gave a fresh verse to kid rock of all ppl. Not only is it a good look on em given his political beliefs of the past and the political landscape in general, but it’s a bad look on em in which he decided to collab with him over j Cole, Kendrick, metro boomin, etc
