Eminem Defends New Kid Rock Collaboration
The post Eminem Defends New Kid Rock Collaboration appeared first on Stereogum .
Eminem has defended his decision to collaborate with Kid Rock on his new song "Heal My Faith," which is from Kid Rock's latest Christian album, "Halfway 2 Jesus." Despite their differing political views, with Kid Rock being a MAGA supporter and Eminem criticizing Trump, the two have been friends for over 40 years. Eminem explained in a post that their collaboration is not about choosing sides but rather about making music with an old friend.
He prayed for all involved in the song, which Kid Rock rapped in, stating, "He is my brother, not my political enemy." Kid Rock shared that while they discuss politics, they agree on many things and can laugh about their differences, which is why he asked Eminem to write a verse for him. Eminem and Kid Rock have previously worked together, with Kid Rock appearing in Eminem's 2013 "Berzerk" music video and Eminem featuring on Kid Rock's 1998 song "Fuck Off" from his album "Devil Without A Cause."
Kid Rock was originally scheduled to speak at a MAGA festival in Kentucky but canceled it due to low ticket sales.
