By now, you've heard Eminem's four and a half minute long BET Hip Hop Awards freestyle aimed at Donald Trump.
The majority of the people who heard it were completely shocked by Em's no-chill bars; as he addressed the president's comments and actions regarding NFL protests, racism, Hillary Clinton, hurricane relief and so much more. One person who recently shared his views on the freestyle was Vince Staples.
While at the Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Art for Pitchfork’s In Sight Out series, Staples called Em's rap "trash" and added that "he could do better." But, he was only joking and some outlets took his humor out of context. So, Staples went on Twitter to set the record straight. Read his tweets below.
The mnm statement was all in good fun I like him & Kim. @Pitchfork took it out of context because they thirsty. Lemme get these jokes off.
