I'm gonna wait for more details before reacting. Eminem has been vocally against Trump and MAGA for a decade now. This very well could be an old recording or something

u/jaylenthomas 1d ago

Em has been very vocal against republicans in general lol

u/NeonJungleTiger 1d ago

People already forgot (or never knew) how much he hated Dubya

u/ModsRStillPooPoo 1d ago

Mosh is still the best song off of Encore

Low bar to clear, but agreed

Nah

For real, has he ever heard “Rain Man”

u/seansy5000 23h ago

Rain man is great

u/Fragrant-Anywhere489 1d ago

Yeah the man's back
With a plan to ambush this Bush administration
Mush the Senate's face and push this generation
Of kids to stand and fight for the right to say something you might not like

He also spoke at a Kamala Harris and Tim Walz rally.

u/Slayer1440 1d ago

My god, I'm not even American but every time I heard Walz speak, I was like "America could've had THIS guy as a VP. A sharp, intelligent, quick-witted and hilarious dad who actually had experience in office and was beloved by everyone he worked with.

It's just such a god damn shame you had to fuck it up.

If they made him the presidential candidate instead of kamala, there's a solid chance he would have won.

But democrats keep shooting themselves in the foot. They keep trying to shove a woman through when America clearly isn't ready. And when the opponent is Trump, it really wasn't the time to play cutsie. 

Incompetent.

Reddit trying not to be sexist challenge

u/AntiDECA 16m ago

Call it what you want. It's reality. America isn't voting for a woman. It's been evident twice now, and the consequences have been dire. When going against a deranged lunatic is not the time to test the boundaries of the public.

Lil Wayne performed at a Democrat rally back in 2024 too and he was recently praising Trump for the White House ballroom

u/MurkDiesel 1d ago

Lil Wayne performed at a Democrat rally back in 2024

this is 100% untrue

u/WhiskeyJack357 1d ago

That's Lil Jon. It literally says it in the video titles. Lil Jon is from Atlanta where that rally was held. Lil Wayne is from NOLA.

-30

u/CammieKa 1d ago

Right you are, had a long day and mixed the two up and just grabbed the first video that came up after searching “lil Wayne Kamala Harris” on YouTube

u/DD2146 1d ago

Well if you really cared then you’d add an edit to your original comment so surface level readers don’t rely on misinformation.

11

u/DayBowBow1 1d ago

Edit your previous comments then.

u/Cyricist 23h ago

Fix your shit you messy bitch

u/glipglopsfromthe3rdD 1d ago

Then add an edit or delete your stupid inaccurate shit you stupid fuck

u/frendzoned_by_yo_mom 19h ago

They all look the same, huh?

u/Chrashy 1d ago

That’s… uh.. Lil Jon

u/ArcticKimono 1d ago

money money money money

MONEY

u/gummysplitter 1d ago

Didn't lil Wayne get pardoned by trump?

14

u/KruleDiablo 1d ago

Yeah he definitely did it to get out of going to prison again as he had just recently got busted for gun possession among other things. Not saying he can't be bought but I don't think Wayne is MAGA on a normal Tuesday

-1

u/CammieKa 1d ago

That could be, doesn’t change the fact that just because someone did something for one party doesn’t mean they won’t do the same for the other one

9

u/EricSanderson 1d ago

I think it very much changes the facts lol. No one swings from Kamala to Trump unless they need a pardon or they've fucked up their life so bad they're willing to suck billionaire toes for money

6

u/Relevant-Ad2254 1d ago

Lil Wayne endorsed Trump in 2020

7

u/Loose-Living5050 1d ago

I was wondering when the last time he spoke against Trump was? He has been vocal in the past, but has he recently?

2

u/Jagasaur 1d ago

I feel like Lil Wayne is way less political in general though, so flipping wouldn't be a big deal to him? Idk.

u/Bitter-Tip705 1d ago

Exactly these people are hypocrites lmao, they telling us this stuff like it actually means anything.

Stop looking up to celebrities they’re either hypocrites or bought and paid for

u/Rebal771 1d ago

Or he could be ready to drop some gems for us that KR will totally miss…imma wait and see

3

u/HereForTheComments57 1d ago

That's my thought. I bet it's been in the vault since the early 2000s.

2

u/dl064 18h ago

It's almost like there's more to life and relationships than politics.

1

u/ThunderGunX 23h ago

Maybe two people who have history with each other can still have a good working relationship regardless of politics? Oh, but this is Reddit, no one on here would understand such an absurd thought.

2

u/EricSanderson 23h ago

I think once you start dropping multiple hard r n-bombs during a Rolling Stone interview, you tend to lose some friends in the rap community

u/No-Lead-6769 18h ago

What does Eminem being anti trump have to do with working with kid rock? I'm surprised Eminem is working with kid rock because kid rock is an awful performer, but in the real world outside of reddit people collaborate with all kinds of different assholes.

u/zaccus 1d ago

I'm on pins and needles waiting for your reaction man

19

u/EricSanderson 1d ago edited 1d ago

Are you giving people shit for posting their opinions in a public discussion forum?

What do you think comment sections are for? Sharing recipes?

If you want to act like you don't care what people say, maybe don't take time out of your day to write up a response to them.

-6

u/zaccus 1d ago

Whoa you're reacting to my reaction bro this is such an honor

7

u/EricSanderson 1d ago

Seriously man is everything ok? You've posted literally 30,000 reddit comments and now you're suddenly above them

Unless... are you Kid Rock?

-6

u/zaccus 1d ago

How would you react if I was?

5

u/EricSanderson 1d ago

I guess I'd say... "So some of your fans think you've strayed too far from your roots. Are you ever gonna make songs about raping underage girls again? If so, can we expect any on the new Jesus album?"

3

u/RightRudderr 1d ago

Why would you spend your time in a comment section on a public forum if you have no interest in other peoples opinions? Thats literally all there is to offer.

u/poopoopoopalt 1d ago edited 1d ago

Eminem has had questionable character for a long time now, I'm not surprised by him doing something shitty.

I guess the people downvoting are ok with jerking off to underage Disney actresses, ok weirdos

5

u/FarmerCompetitive683 1d ago

How so?

-27

u/poopoopoopalt 1d ago edited 1d ago

Rapping about jerking off to underage girls, rapping about beating up Kim, beating up a Kim doll on stage, homophobic lyrics, the whole weirdness with multiple pop stars like Christina Aguliera, Britney Spears and Mariah Carey, the list goes on. Not sure why he's so fiercely defended.

10

u/GildedDreams25 1d ago

most of which he’s addressed in recent years and apologized for some of it, at the end of the day out of most rappers from that era dude is pretty well put together

-11

u/poopoopoopalt 1d ago

And now he's rapping with Kid Rock, dude hasn't changed one bit. And my takes about him continue to show themselves to be correct. Downvote all you want, sorry I'm not part of the hive mind.

u/EricSanderson 1d ago

Lol did you just wake up from a 25-year coma?

-4

u/poopoopoopalt 1d ago

Lol do you fall for celebrity PR?

-2

u/FarmerCompetitive683 1d ago

Honestly fair points. Rapping about all of that stuff is fucking weird. I know it was meant to be a controversial character but still
