![Eminem and Kid Rock are proving that political differences don’t necessarily have to end a friendship.
The two Detroit musicians have reunited for a new collaboration on Kid Rock’s upcoming faith-based album, Halfway 2 Jesus, despite their opposing political views. Kid Rock is a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump, while Eminem has publicly criticized Trump and supported Democratic candidates.
Speaking with Billboard, Kid Rock revealed that he and Eminem have maintained their friendship for nearly 40 years.
“We’ve been friends for, like, 40 years,” Kid Rock explained. “I really didn’t want to drag him into my political world.”
He added that while they occasionally discuss politics, they don’t allow their disagreements to interfere with their relationship.
Their friendship inspired Eminem’s verse on the song “Heal My Faith,” which reportedly reflects on their early days together, including Kid Rock supporting Eminem before he became a superstar.
According to Kid Rock, one particular lyric left him emotional:
“He’s my brother, not my political enemy.”
Kid Rock said the verse gave him chills and brought him to tears after hearing the finished recording.
Interestingly, Eminem was originally scheduled to appear on another song, “7 Sins,” before switching tracks. Lil Wayne ultimately stepped in to replace him.
Kid Rock says his new album, scheduled for release October 17, focuses on forgiveness, second chances and bringing people together despite their differences.
“This [album] is about forgiveness and second chances,” he explained.](https://s8.imginn.com/849098163_18476261863114396_2329081524863102752_n.jpg?t51.82787-15/849098163_18476261863114396_2329081524863102752_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_p1179x1179_tt6&_nc_cat=105&ig_cache_key=NDAwOTI1OTMzMDIwNDE3OTE5Ng%3D%3D.3-ccb7-5&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=58cdad&efg=eyJ2ZW5jb2RlX3RhZyI6IkZFRUQueHBpZHMuMTYzMi5zZHIucmVndWxhcl9waG90by5DMyJ9&_nc_ohc=XbmsaXB4NLwQ7kNvwEOP7Yh&_nc_oc=AdqItUnivqZ-5zghGuAElNRBrQrn68sgow-TyLI4ZYVMR35I3FN-S_aL5w5U5fHkFlfLQmcImcNRJzLJ7eRbMgf-&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-mia3-2.cdninstagram.com&_nc_gid=KAFmdyt6DByeJGL1qN8hBw&_nc_ss=70689&oh=00_AQO8bu6VIJhM2C0p9ipJW3KF-m-1SEwrx--H1Z-RkIKBQA&oe=6AD825A7)
