Rapper Eminem appeared to accuse Donald Trump of sending the Secret Service to investigate him in brand new surprise album Kamikaze.

The Real Slim Shady artist released an album, Kamikaze, at midnight on Thursday much to the surprise of fans.

Opening with an abrasive track entitled The Ringer, Eminem attacks fellow hip-hop artists including Lil Pump and Lil Yachty, takes a swipe at media journalists for the reviews of his last album and most notably berates Donald Trump who he refers to as Agent Orange.

Since President Trump’s election, the rapper has openly shown his disdain for the political figurehead and last year split his fan base following his freestyle at the BET Awards entitled The Storm.

In this freestyle, Eminem referred to Mr Trump as a “Kamikaze” and insisted “that he’ll probably cause a nuclear holocaust."

During the BET performance he also explained he was “drawing a line in the sand” for his fans and that they were either "for or against" the president.

In the new track, Eminem appears to reflect on his previous choice of words towards his supporters.

Reflects on harsh words to fans

 

But if I could go back, I’d at least reword it

And say I empathise with the people of  this evil serpent

Sold the dream to that he’s deserted

Despite this, in the opening track for the album, Eminem accuses Mr Trump of sending the Secret Service to investigate him.

Attacks Donald Trump

But I think it’s working

These verses are making him a wee bit nervous

And he’s too scared to answer me with words

Cause he knows that he will lyrically get murdered

But I know at least he’s heard it

Cause Agent Orange just send the Secret Service

To meet in person

To see if I really think of hurting him

Or ask if I’m linked to terrorists

Throughout his career, the controversial rapper has often used his platform, including in one particular song called 'Mosh', to critique politicians such as former president George W Bush on the issue of the Iraq war and military spending.

Despite the serious political overtones throughout the song, Eminem continues to employ his trademark comical lyrical references to entertain his listeners as he insults both vice president Mike Pence and rapper Lil Yachty.

Comical Insults

Bang it with a pipe wrench

While I take my b*** s*** and flick it like a light switch

Like vice-president Mike Pence

…These are things that I’d rather do than hear you on a mic.

On Twitter, fans have been calling the newly released album Eminem’s return to form as his previous album Revival generated mixed views from fans and critics despite going to Number 1 in the US and UK.

Eminem also reflects on the reviews his Revival album received.

Attacks the Media

My beef is more media journalists

Cause they been panning my album to death

So I been giving the media fingers

“Kamikaze” is now available for purchase on all major media download platforms.
