Eminem has responded to Kid Rock namedropping him in a video he made in support of Donald Trump.
The “All Summer Long” hitmaker uploaded a video on Instagram of him playing the acoustic guitar before he turns his attention to his fellow Detroit native.
“Now that I have your attention, let me tell you, I love Eminem, we’ve been friends for many years. I don’t agree with his politics but I do give credit to him and people like Taylor Swift for standing up and not being afraid to be vocal for that which they believe,” the rap-rocker says.
“Thinking differently and having the freedom to do so is what makes this country great. My stance is unequivocally MAGA because I know in my mind, body and soul that president Trump will make America great again. God bless the USA.”
Eminem, who has been a staunch critic of Trump’s since he first ran for president in 2016, took his and Kid Rock’s political differences in stride and instead focused on their mutual love of their hometown NFL team.
“Here’s one thing @KidRock and I do agree on… GO @Lions!!!! Appreciate you, Bob,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter), refering to Rock by his real name.

Eminem previously addressed Kid Rock’s support of Trump in a 2017 interview with Vulture, saying: “Me and Bob have been friends since way back in the day, but I haven’t spoken to him in a while. The last time I did was when the thing happened to his assistant.
“I reached out and told him I was here for him. As far as the politics, I’m not up on what he’s doing. I couldn’t tell if he really wanted to run for senator or was just fucking around.”
At a recent rally in Detroit, Eminem made it clear that he was backing Kamala Harris in the upcoming election.
In a short speech, Em outlined why he was supporting the Democratic nominee before he introduced former president Barack Obama to the stage.
“I’m here tonight for a couple of important reasons,” Em said. “As most of you know, the city of Detroit and the whole state of Michigan mean a lot to me. Going into this election, the spotlight is on us more than ever and I think it’s important to use your voice, so I’m encouraging everybody to get out and vote, please.
“I also think that people shouldn’t be afraid to express their opinions, and I don’t think anyone wants an America where people are worried about retribution or what people will do if you make your opinion known.”
It’s refreshing to see people with different political views act like normal people to each other. the media has made politics so toxic. Social media has made politics toxic too. People hate other people, mostly strangers, based on who they vote for.. it’s got to stop (but it won’t)
Consciousness-wise, we’re in the dark ages again. So much lame disingenuous virtue signaling bullshit being slung in the name of hollow “causes” that mean nothing on all sides. 2 wings same corrupt filthy bird. This world is doomed, and always has been. Politics has always been toxic. Social media just allowed people to publicly identify themselves and draw more attention. Which is ironically good because anyone supporting politics confirms they aren’t worth listening to.
I’ll never be friends with a Dump voter. Ever. If I ever was friends with one, I’d love them from a distance. Ain’t no way I can be friends with or associate on a personal level with someone who has MAGA values. Doesn’t matter what else we have in common. Because whatever that is, it’s superficial.
I feel the same way about… you know whats… I mean, that’s how most of the world feels about “them”… good entertainment, but other than that, I don’t wanna live remotely close to thar nonsense!
Haha Its all good. If youre that tribal over politics you are just a follower and not a leader – you look at just one side of the coin, you are not a free thinker and just dont want to understand others peoples views. For that you are closed off and your knowledge/world views is limited. So who exactly would want to be friends with you anyways? Only fellow losers
@Fax You’ve precisely proved my point. Good job, Genius.
@Brody Why would I want to side with people who force women to have children? Who says there are good White Supremacists? Who calls our country a garbage can? Who lies and says Haitians are eating dogs? Who calls Puerto Rico Garbage? Who tells Israel to finish the job? Who tries to overturn our elections? Who doesn’t believe in climate change? Nah…Fck those people.
Only reason slim supports democrats is either:
-He fucked an underage so they got him on blackmail.
-the star whackers killed his man proof and showed how much power they have and gave him a warning.
Or 3: hes literally a normy who sits on his couch and believes the news on cnn msnbc and the like.
The third one is the worst to imagine and i hope its not true.
Remember in ‘bully’ and ‘dont approach me’ he shitted on gun control? Then he puts out a gun control psa as a music video?
Didnt his whole album shit on woke people?
But he supports that side?
Isnt kamala an easy target for slim shady seeing as how shes a common groupie who fucked her way to the top and put black men in jail on her way up?
Contradictions always indicate an error or a lie and i think hes compromised as hell. “I sold my soul to the devil ill never get it back” “won a couple grammys but i sold my soul to get em”…
No i do not support trump they are all free mason occultists, harvesting a colonized and subjugated human race.
Please, stfu. Just stfu…🤦🏾♂️
I’m pro Kid Rock becuase I hate Woke and also I have shit music taste.
Ahh, two mature adults with different views remaining respectful.
