Eminem's show of support for Colin Kaepernick at the BET Hip Hop Awards on Tuesday night did not go unnoticed.
As the accomplished rapper shared a four-and-a-half minute freestyle attacking the actions, policies, and personality of Donald Trump, he referenced Kaepernick and the NFL to strengthen his points.
Plus, he (Trump) gets an enormous reaction
When he attacks the NFL, so we focus on that
Instead of talking Puerto Rico or gun reform for Nevada
All these horrible tragedies and he’s bored and would rather
Cause a Twitter storm with the Packers ...
... This is for Colin, ball up a fist
And keep that shit balled like Donald the bitch
Kaepernick shared a portion of the piece on his own Twitter account, expressing his appreciation for Eminem's words.
