At an election rally in Detroit, rap star Eminem speaks out in favor of Kamala Harris. Former President Barack Obama supports him – and raps his hit “Lose yourself”.
Former President Barack Obama and rap legend Eminem created a memorable moment at a campaign rally for Kamala Harris in Detroit. After the Grammy winner invited Obama onto the stage, he started his speech with a special interlude.
“I’ve done a lot of rallies, so I don’t normally get nervous. But after Eminem, I feel kind of different,” Obama joked at the lectern. “I noticed, my palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy, vomit on my sweater already, Mom’s spaghetti.” In German something like: “My palms are sweaty, knees are weak, arms are heavy, I’ve already vomited on my sweater, mom’s spaghetti.”
As the crowd cheered, Obama continued the famous song from 2002: “I’m nervous but on the surface I look calm and ready, to drop bombs but I keep on forgetting…” Roughly translated: “I am nervous, but on the surface I look calm and ready to drop bombs, but I keep forgetting…”
He Barack Obama, then clear words from Eminem
“Detroit and the entire state of Michigan mean a lot to me. The focus is on us more than ever before this election,” emphasized the rapper. He encourages everyone to use their voice and vote. “I also think that people shouldn’t be afraid to express their opinions,” the musician continued. He believes that Vice President Harris represents a future in which these and many other freedoms are protected.

The “Lose Yourself” interpreter had already supported the Biden-Harris team’s election campaign in 2020. The rapper had also always supported Obama’s political career. Eminem, on the other hand, has a tense relationship with his Republican opponent Donald Trump – in 2017 he sharply criticized the then president in several songs.
The US election will take place on November 5th.
