When Em was speaking about his "The Storm" cypher at the 2017 BET Hip Hop Awards that bashed Trump and his supporters, the rapper said: "He made these people feel like he was really going to do something for them. It’s just so f**king disgusting how divisive his language is, the rhetoric, the Charlottesville s**t, just watching it going, 'I can’t believe he’s saying this.'"
Slim Shady also made it a point to affirm that he and Trump are NOT the same. Some have compared the two based on the controversial things they've been known to say. "When I [put out "The Storm"], I felt that everybody who was with [Trump] at that point doesn’t like my music anyway. I get the comparison with the non-political-correctness, but other than that, we’re polar opposites," Em added.
The MC made it perfectly clear that he doesn't care if he lost fans for saying what he felt like needed to be said. "At the end of the day, if I did lose half my fan base, then so be it," he added. "Because I feel like I stood up for what was right and I'm on the right side of this. I don't see how somebody could be middle class, busting their ass every single day, paycheck to paycheck, who thinks that that f**king billionaire is gonna help you."
