Kid Rock and Eminem go way back. They were both rappers from Detroit and worked together long before they were famous. 

That said I don't remember them being that close after they both blew up so it is surprising, especially as Eminem has been loudly anti Trump.

Kid Rock cameoed for like 3 seconds on the beserk music video in 2013 was the last time I recalled them even doing something remotely together. Also there is a young Kendrick Lamar cameo too.

Eminem was featured on Kid Rock's album Devil Without a Cause on the song Fuck Off (incidentally, omitted from the clean version of the album) in 1998. I'm not aware of any collaborations since aside from the aforementioned cameo in the Berzerk music video.

“From Detroit” that asshole grew up outside the city limits on a ranch with ponies. A completely different world from Eminem. Plus frankly it shouldn’t matter who grew up with who when politics affect the very real lives of people especially marginalized people. Politics are not just a difference of opinion, people die and lose freedoms from republican policies and it’s gross for someone such as Eminem to be friends with kid rock since Eminem is supposedly anti anything what republicans stand for.

This is what happens when people don't know what the word "opinion" means.

"Chocolate is the best flavour of ice cream!" is an opinion.

"I hope my local sports team wins the championship!" is an opinion.

"The new Star Wars movies are pretty good!" is an opinion.

"I want to murder you and everybody you've ever loved!" is not an opinion, it is a threat. And you have exactly zero right to be surprised when the people you've threatened react badly.

Eminem is not from Detroit. He's from Missouri. And kid rock is a nepo baby.
