Eminem Goes In on Trump During BET Hip Hop Awards Cypher (& Much More) (UPDATE)

UPDATE: It looks like Em’s team — Griselda‘s Conway, Benny and (newly signed!) Compton rapper Boogie — got down for the cypher too (above). Why this wasn’t televised is beyond me.

**********

This year’s BET Hip-Hop Awards was held in Miami and from the performances (Gucci Mane, Cardi B, Migos) to the cyphers (Ski Mask The Slump God, J.I.D, Little Simz, Fat Joe), the event wasn’t one to disappoint. DJ Khaled handled hosting duties while the legendary Luther “Luke” Campbell received special honors for his contribution to the culture. The standout of it all: Eminem‘s acapella freestyle, which he used to annihilate Donald Trump:

We’re expecting Twitter fingers to respond at some point, given he’d rather do that then actually address real issues and run the country.

Check out plenty more from the broadcast — including all recap footage — over at BET.
