Multi-platinum rapper Eminem is set to take the stage at a Kamala Harris rally in his home city of Detroit, Michigan on Tuesday night, CNN reports. Not as a headline act, or even if a musical capacity, but to introduce former President Barack Obama as well as delivering his own thoughts on the state of the nation ahead of the historic election now just two weeks away. Though the once-ubiquitous hip hop icon puts in few public appearances nowadays, he’s proven himself a longtime backer of Harris’. Eminem has also made little secret of his contempt for her Republican opponent in the past, having previously accused Trump of “brainwashing” his party’s supporters. “Watching him play his base that thinks that he cares about them—and it’s actually the people that he cares about the f---ing least,” as he said in a viral post from Aug. 2023. All eyes on Detroit tonight.
