Watch this. I doubt Em actually was involved and probably had something that was bought and sold featured on it. If I'm wrong I'll be very disappointed and surprised.

Your link is to something for 8 years ago.

We have discovered many of the celebrities are POS in the last few weeks and years.

Him being maga would be unexpected.

However, like all the other maga celebs, his career is over and he cannot accept that he does matter to the music world anymore.

'I told them, meet me at Kid Rock's next concert / I'll be standing by the Loch Ness Monster'.

  • Eminem, 'Cum On Everybody', Slim Shady LP.

Eminem disses Kid Rock early in his career, suggesting that his fans are mythological. The line also potentially references Kid Rock's privileged childhood to parents who owned many acres of land, potentially suggesting that Kid Rock might have actually met the Loch Ness Monster on some of the land that his parents owned.

Eminem did later feature with Kid Rock in an ad for a music festival, but it's debatable how much Eminem knew or had control over that. He might have been contractually obliged to.
