Eminem Refuses To Choose Sides While Promoting Panned Kid Rock Collab
During an October 2017 freestyle for the BET Awards, Eminem rapper the following: “ And any fan of mine who’s a supporter of his / I’m drawing in the sand a line, you’re either for or against.” It was in reference to United States President Donald Trump, a position he continued to take via endorsements of Kamala Harris in 2024 and many other statements. This is the context that is landing Slim Shady in hot water for his Kid Rock collaboration on the album Halfway 2 Jesus, “Heal My Faith.” Fans expressed massive disappointment in Em for collaborating with an ardent MAGA supporter, even if the two Detroit artists have a lot of history together. It’s the same history the Detroit MC raps about on “Heal My Faith,” concluding that Rock is his “brother” rather than a “political enemy.” Some fans hoped he would be more clear and understanding in another statement on the collaboration.
