Eminem Makes Surprise Cameo at Kamala Harris Campaign Rally in Detroit

As an ardent fan who has lived and breathed Eminem’s music since the late ’90s, witnessing his unexpected introduction of Barack Obama at the Detroit rally was nothing short of surreal. The city where the “Lose Yourself” rapper grew up and found his musical success, now serving as a stage for the former president, felt like a full-circle moment that only Detroit could deliver.


Eminem is making sure the real Barack Obama stands up.

Surprisingly, the artist famous for “Lose Yourself” took the stage to introduce a past president at the October 22 gathering supporting Democratic nominees Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in Detroit.

In his speech, Eminem expressed that Detroit and Michigan hold a special place in his heart. He emphasized that with the attention focused on the state during this election, it’s crucial for people to exercise their right to vote. So, he’s urging everyone to make their way to the polls.

He went on to say, “Additionally, I believe it’s important for individuals not to suppress their viewpoints. Furthermore, I don’t envision a nation like ours where people fear backlash or repercussions for openly sharing their thoughts.

As applause roared in the arena, Eminem also clapped while Obama made his way to the stage. 

It makes perfect sense that the Grammy award-winner, who hails from Detroit, warmly received the Chicago resident, as it was in the Michigan city of Detroit where Eminem (originally named Marshall Mathers) spent his childhood and achieved initial fame in his musical journey.

In his documentary short “Marshall From Detroit” in 2019, he expressed that the city was familiar to him, stating, “I’ve traveled extensively, but this place, it feels like home. It simply is home. The atmosphere, the people here – everything resonates with what I cherish.

Additionally, it’s their residence where his daughter, Hailie Jade (aged 28), who is married to Evan McClintock, now resides with him. The Mathers family has experienced quite a bit lately, as Hailie tied the knot in May and announced this month that she and her husband are expecting a baby boy.

And how did the couple share the news with the 52-year-old? With a Detroit Lions football jersey that had “Grandpa” emblazoned on the back. However, it took some time for him to realize what the uniform was conveying.

In her podcast “Just A Little Shady,” Hailie explained that he responded something like, “Are you implying I’m old by giving me a grandpa jersey? But this is a joke, right?” Then, she revealed the ultrasound picture and he said, “Oh my goodness. Wait, is this real? This is really happening?

She went on saying, “It turned out to be quite amusing as well, since the one behind the camera was clueless about our planned surprise. They thought they were merely capturing some shots, so their surprised reactions had to be muted as they exclaimed, ‘What in the world is happening here? Is this for real?’

However, after absorbing the information, Eminem, the renowned rapper, was eagerly prepared to spectate the game, flaunting his latest style.

Hailie explained that the rest of her family would be joining later for the Detroit Lions game. Upon their arrival, we had her father wearing a jersey with a jacket over it, revealing ‘Grandpa’ once he took off the jacket. Some of them were puzzled until I showed them a picture.
