Detroit, Michigan rapper Eminem drew criticism from many on social media due to what some deemed an expletive-filled performance at The Concert For Valor in Washington D.C. earlier this week.
According to XXLMag.com, Em opened his performance by proclaiming “happy mothafuckin Veterans Day” and then proceeded to throw out the word “fuck” numerous times.
During his performance, which was free to the public and streamed live on HBO, Eminem was joined by singer Rihanna.
One Twitter user questioned why Eminem would use profanity during a concert celebrating the nation’s veterans.
CNN and ABC News contributor Donna Brazile also voiced her thoughts on the Motor City wordsmith’s performance at The Concert For Valor.
Eminem was also criticized earlier this week for a particular lyric on the “Shady CXVPHER.” On the song, he raps “I’ll punch Lana Del Rey right in the face twice like Ray Rice.”
Harlem, New York rapper Azealia Banks was one artist who voiced her thoughts on the controversial lyric.

hahahahaha.
those veterans fought for our rights to say whatever we want nah mean?
And you god damn know they cursed during war
Nah, they weren’t allowed to curse back then.
they were cursing out those japs
I’m usually against anything Eminem related because he’s a corny ass white boy but holy shit if you’re going to enlist Eminem to perform for you, you’re fucking retarded if you expect him to not swear.
Who would book Eminem and expect him not to swear? GTFOH.
I’m in the military, if anything we need the bleeper remote. This is retarded.
“Eminem cursed” said every news report during the last decade.
I get paid over $87 per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I’d be able to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless. Heres what I’ve been doing,

AMERICANS ARE MAKING WARS.AMERICANS ARE NOT DEFENDING AFTER ALL.
WELL DONE SHADY
Yeah, eeeeeverybody knows that war vets NEVER swear. They are just celebrated for killing people. Much better than swearing!
EXACTLY.
Rapper pushing 50 disrespects our brave soldiers and all you keyboard warriors jump to his defense you ungrateful little bastards..
Thanks for protecting our country we owe you guys a lot
“Brave Soldiers” what a fucking joke, its people like you who make me fuckin sick. Anybody who takes orders from the puppet gov is scum, including you Private reece of shit
^Shut the fuck up yellow belly coward what have you done for the country . What can you be proud of spineless coward it’s people like private reece that are ready to lay down their lives you fucking Communist bastard
GTFOH old man, unless you were in WWII you didn’t rescue shit. Were you in WWII? No, so shut-up.
Did he spit this line?
“I’m doin’ drive-bys in tinted Corvettes on Vietnam war vets”
lmaooooo these fucks book eminem and suprised he swears? so suck a dick
hahahahahahahaha people are surprised Em was swearing…do they also know the sky is blue?
O noooooo not curse words! Say it aint so!
Offended by words performed for men & women who kill people & destroy the earth for megalomaniac war mongering capitalists. Ha. Ha. Cute.
Soldiers protect those who control & pollute the earth. What about the homies on the corner dying for what was forced onto them? They didn’t sign up to get shot & get a special day for it.
Damn. That Lana Del Rey shit got people up in arms and coming after Em again. It’s kinda funny that he tried to spit that controversial shit on “Rap God” and in a few spots on MMLP2 and no one gave a flying fuck. People said he was old and washed up. Then he talks about hitting a dumb bitch a few times and the people are upset about him cussing at a celebration for trained killers. Go figure.
haters gonna hate hate hate hate…
A rapper famous for saying controversial things was swearing? You gotta be fucking kidding me!
This country and their sensitivity to literally everything is really obnoxious. Shut the fuck up, America.
People watching this on HBO criticizes the cursing? Just about every show on HBO has cursing or sex or violence or drug use. That is why we watch it
whos bright idea was it do book Em to headline this show? and did they even consider asking him to tone his language down before he performed and they got all butthurt?
“Pretty strange to hear eminem swearing…” .. Pretty strange to hear eminem swearing??!! That’s the dumbest statement I’ve heard all year
Yeah cause veteran’s are a bunch of sesame street watching children. God forbid they hear swearing. Can you imagine if they saw death or had to kill people!?
You should expect to hear swearing from rappers, but Eminem could have just as easily not said fuck. He’s always trying to push buttons. That’s why he never fully blew up cause he ignored logic and proper table manners.
He never fully blew up? Ok, come on, that’s pretty fucking stupid. He’s sold more records than any hip hop artist of all time. ALL TIME. Never fully blew up, my ass.
