Is the Video Recent?

No, the clip dates back to August 2017, when Trump was still in office. The incident was widely covered at the time by reputable media outlets such as Billboard and The Independent. However, the video is now being reshared with misleading claims suggesting it is from a recent performance.

In fact, social media platform X (formerly Twitter) has attached a fact-check note clarifying that the clip is from 2017 and that the post’s wording makes it seem like a recent event.

Eminem’s Past Criticism of Trump

Eminem has been openly critical of Donald Trump on multiple occasions. In 2017, during a concert in Glasgow, he wore a shirt that read “FACK TRUMP.” He also released an eight-minute anti-Trump track titled Campaign Speech, where he rapped:
“A f**in’ loose cannon who’s blunt with his hand on the button / Who doesn’t have to answer to no one—great idea!”*

The Takeaway

While Eminem has never shied away from expressing his political views, this specific incident is not recent. The viral video is from 2017 but is being falsely presented as a recent controversy.
