Eminem has slammed Donald Trump in a brand new freestyle he performed at last night’s BET Hip-Hop Awards.
The freestyle comes as part of the show’s long-running cypher series and sees the iconic rapper take aim at Trump for the duration of the segment. Marshall Mathers addresses topics including America’s recent flurry of hurricanes, the NFL protest, Trump’s luxurious trips to “his golf resorts and his mansions” and more.
At one point during the freestyle, the rapper addresses all Trump supporters rhyming: “Any fan of mine who’s a supporter of his, I’m drawing in the sand a line—you’re either for or against. And if you can’t decide who you like more and you’re split on who you should stand beside, I’ll do it for you with this: fuck you.”

Mathers also paid homage to NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick who has been in the middle of the ongoing race row with the sport rapping: “Fuck that, this is for Colin, ball up a fist/And keep that shit balled like Donald the bitch.” Kaepernick showed thanks on Twitter responding: “I appreciate you @Eminem.”

Eminem recently headlined the UK’s Reading and Leeds Festival wearing a t-shirt that said “Fack Trump“.
Speaking out about the American political situation during his Reading set he said: “So Reading. I’m not about to stand up here and use this fucking stage as a platform to get all political and shit, but this motherfucker Donald Trump – I can’t stand him.”
He then led the crowd in a call and response shouting: “When I say ‘fuck’, you say ‘Trump’: Fuck Trump, Fuck Trump.”
