Eminem attacks Donald Trump in freestyle rap

In a pre-recorded clip that was aired at the BET Hip Hop Awards last night, rapper Eminem unleashed 4 minutes of tirade on US President, Donald Trump.

Eminem touched on most Trump’s recent misdeeds including his attack on NFL protesters and his response to the violence in Charlottesville. He rapped, “Now, if you’re a black athlete / You’re a spoiled little brat / For tryna use your platform or your stature / To try to give those a voice who don’t have one,”

The rapper also mentioned Trump’s endorsement of Steve Bannon and ultimately “drew a line in the sand for Trump supporters and those who can’t decide where they belong”. He followed with a middle finger to the camera.

The video was filmed in a parking garage with about nine other people looking on in the background while Eminem did the cypher.

Meanwhile, Chime’s family have spoken up refuting the drugs claims and stating that their son was poisoned. In an interview with his family, Chime’s sister, Sopulu Amaechi said, “I never suspected his moves because he confided in me. So how would they say he overdosed on drugs? Nobody is asking for the name of the place they went to eat, neither are they asking if he was poisoned. I am convinced that this was a case of poisoning or sabotage, because I know my brother”.
