Eminem and Kid Rock put politics aside to record '7 Sins'

Motor City-area rappers Eminem and Kid Rock set aside their considerable political differences to record a song called “7 Sins.”

Romeo, Michigan, native and MAGA loyalist Kid Rock posted notice on X that his Christian album “Halfway 2 Jesus” will soon be released. Its third track claims to feature Detroit native Eminem.

To the surprise of some of Kid Rock’s social media followers, music publication Complex confirmed that the Donald Trump antagonist born Marshall Mathers does indeed make an appearance on that recording.

The album’s foreword includes a statement from Kid Rock stating he’s proud his “old friend Eminem” contributed to the project.

“His verse speaks to something we’ve talked about and that really needs to be heard: we differ politically and on other things, but we’ve stayed friends through it all, ” Kid Rock writes. “We hope that sets an example for people who’ve lost friends or stopped talking to family because they think differently.”

Kid Rock, 55-year-old also known as Robert Ritchie, is a dogged defender of the Trump administration. He’s stood by the President in the White House and on the campaign trail. In February he teamed up with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to record a video promoting the administration’s health and fitness agenda.

 

Eminem’s politics lean further to the left.

The 53-year-old Grammy Award winner lambasted Trump and his supporters with a 2017 music video called “The Storm” that premiered during the BET Hip-Hop Awards.

“Any fan of mine who’s a supporter of his, I’m drawing in the sand a line, you’re either for or against,” Eminem declared.

Kid Rock and Eminem first joined forces in 1998 to record “F— Off” for the former artist’s hit album “Devil Without a Cause.”
