Eminem is one of the most prominent faces in the hip-hop industry. With a global sales record of over 220 million records, the 51-year-old rapper is one of the best-selling music artists of all time. Over a career spanning more than 20 years, the Not Afraid hitmaker came to be regarded as one of the greatest rappers of all time. However, a social media figure recently discredited Eminem’s status.
During an episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, Pan-Africanist motivational speaker, Dr. Umar Johnson expressed his resentment over Eminem’s GOAT status. Johnson claimed that the Rap God “can’t be considered” one of the greatest because “he’s White.” He also noted that the rapper’s fаme is “an insult to every Black person.”
While discussing White people’s participation in the Black culture, Johnson said that “they can do it as a hobby.” However, he lashed out against Eminem, saying, “Eminem has all the privileges of a white male and all the privileges of being in the hip hop community, so we got to be careful about letting non-Africans into our community,” as per Unilad.
