Lord Jamar slams Barack Obama for inviting Eminem to Kamala Harris rally

Lord Jamar criticized Barack Obama for inviting Eminem to speak at Detroit rally supporting Kamala Harris.

On November 4, 2024, American rapper Lord Jamar appeared on The Art of Dialogue YouTube channel, where he criticized Barack Obama for inviting Eminem to speak at a rally. The event, held in Detroit on October 22, 2024, aimed to support Kamala Harris in the upcoming elections.

Commenting on rappers like Cardi B and Eminem participating in Harris' rally, Lord Jamar said, "I know I've gotten flack in the past but just real quick, we're just talking about the backgrounds of these rappers like you know what I mean. Eminem somebody who is known to you know talk about pharmaceutical drugs that you know that he messes with them hard... he was just doing, saying a lot of crazy stuff in his lyrics."

The Art of Dialogue shared a clip of Jamar’s comments about Eminem, sparking a wave of reactions from users on X (formerly Twitter). Referring to Eminem's long-standing feud with Jamar, one X user tweeted, "Em buried Jamar years ago. We don't care what that bum has to say."

Another user posted, "Jamar’s hate boner for Eminem needs to be studied. He’s so jealous that Barack will never dab him up like he did Eminem or ever sing his lyrics. Just old and bitter." Another user commented, "Everyone just call him ‘Jamar’ dudes a certified 🤡," while another noted, *"He is obsessed with Eminem and that hate is pathetic."

Some users also linked Jamar’s comments about Eminem to his support of Trump. "No wonder this guy roots for Trump. Jamar was and still is a hater," one user posted, while another wrote, "DISHONESTY!?! Has he been listening to the other guy!?! Lol."

Another user added, "Why didn't he call out Trump for having multiple felons at his rally?"

According to a February 2020 article by NME, Lord Jamar’s conflict with Eminem began after Jamar criticized Eminem in various interviews. Eminem responded to Jamar’s remarks in his 2018 track "Fall." However, Jamar refrained from further comments about Eminem until he appeared on MRectv's Backstories podcast in December 2022, where he revisited his stance on their feud.
