If Eminem is coming for President Trump, the Secret Service is coming for him.
The Detroit rapper, whose real name is Marshal Mathers, reignited his musical feud with Trump on the first track of his surprise album “Kamikaze,” which dropped early Friday. In the third verse of “The Ringer,” Eminem claims his 2017 freestyle for the BET Hip Hop Awards earned him a visit from the Secret Service.
The Secret Service in a statement said it “does not confirm or comment on the absence or existence of specific investigations.
Comedienne Kathy Griffin, who gets a seemingly more positive shout-out in another “Kamikaze” track, similarly earned a visit from the Secret Service last year after a wildly controversial image that showed her holding a bloodied, severed effigy head of Trump. She appeared in Eminem’s “Real Slim Shady” music video nearly 20 years ago.
Eminem’s alleged Secret Service visit was apparently prompted by his scathing anti-Trump cypher, in which he called the President a “kamikaze that will probably cause a nuclear holocaust” — perhaps a foreshadow of his latest album with the same name.
Eminem also draws “a line in the sand,” urging those who support Trump to stop listening to his tracks.
“’Cause like him in politics, I’m usin’ all of his tricks/’Cause I’m throwin’ that piece of s--t against the wall ‘til it sticks,” he adds.
If the blistering lyrics did in fact catch the eye of the Secret Service, it wouldn’t be the first time. The agency also investigated Eminem following the leak of his song, “We Are Americans,” in 2003.
“F--k money, I don’t rap for dead presidents/I’d rather see the President dead/ It’s never been said, but I set precedents,” he rapped.
The word “Dead” was censored upon the song’s official release.
The 45-year-old Grammy winner has also previously taken aim at former President George W. Bush and first daughter Ivanka Trump with fiery lyrics.
“Stomp, push shove, mush; f--k Bush,” he raps at the end of the second verse.
Eminem isn’t reserving his digs only for politicians on his new album — he also takes aim at fellow rappers Drake, Lil Pump, Lil Yachty, Lil Xan and Tyler the Creator as well as the media, Harvey Weinstein and award shows.
