Amid a new and intense rap, Eminem raised a fist in support of Colin Kaepernick — who raised a metaphoric fist in return
Eminem dropped “The Storm” on Tuesday night ahead of the BET Awards. In it he backed the former 49ers quarterback and dissed President Donald Trump for (among other things) trying to halt NFL players’ protest during the national anthem.
“This is for Colin — ball up a fist,” Eminem said near the end of his freestyle rap.
Kaepernick later posted his appreciation on social media.
“I appreciate you Eminem,” Kaepernick wrote, with a fist emoji.
