Eminem questioned by Secret Service over Trump lyrics

The Secret Service questioned the rapper over lyrics regarding Ivanka Trump.

Eminem has said some derogatory stuff about a lot of celebrities in the past.

Off the top of our head, we can remember bars about Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Moby, George Bush, Ellen DeGeneres, Lindsay Lohan, Amy Winehouse, Osama Bin-Laden, Ja Rule, Mariah Carey, Khole Kardashian, Jessica Alba and perhaps most recently Donald Trump.

But it’s lyrics about Ivanka Trump, Donald’s daughter, that had him in trouble quite recently.

It has been revealed that the US Secret Service questioned the Detroit rapper about lyrics from a 2017 song called ‘Framed’.

Following a FOI request from Buzzfeed, the Secret Service revealed that they met with Eminem to question him over “threatening lyrics” in the song.

“This is not the first time Mathers made threatening comments towards POTUS and his family,” the report released by the Secret Service reads. “In June 2017, Mathers freestyled comments that were threatening in nature towards POTUS.”

The lyrics regarding Trump, which are obviously quite grotesque, are as follows.

“How the fuck is Ivanka Trump in the trunk of my car?
Gotta get to the bottom of it to try to solve it
Must go above and beyond, ’cause it’s incumbent upon me
Plus I feel somewhat responsible for the dumb little blonde
Girl, that motherfuckin’ baton twirler that got dumped in the pond”

During the interview with Secret Service, when agents began to read the lyrics of the rap, “Mathers was familiar the song and began rap along with the interviewers as the verse was read,” according to the documents.
