The rapper is facing some backlash.
Eminem is facing backlash from fans after unleashing his scathing anti-Trump freestyle.
The Detroit native debuted the savage four-minute rap, which fired some serious shots at the current President, during the BET Hip-Hop Awards 2017 this week.
While many viewers praised the politically-charged performance, some fans who voted for Trump were quick to express their disdain.
"Used to be a big Eminem fan. No longer." said one user.
"He says "F" Trump supporters....well....we say "F" you back!"
Will the real slim shady please stand up? @eminem worst freestyle I ever heard from you! Draw your line in the sand. You lost a FAN! #MAGA

Meanwhile, recent reports suggest that Eminem is preparing to drop his hotly-anticipated new album as early as November 2017.
The rapper is allegedly set to appear on P!nk’s new album on an "unbelievable" collaboration titled 'Revenge'.
