Eminem took a knee during the Super Bowl LVI halftime show, and some conservatives were outraged by his show of solidarity with former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
The Detroit rapper kneeled during his performance with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige and 50 Cent at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, after the NFL reportedly denied his request to make a brief protest of police brutality and systemic racism.
The gesture was bitterly noted by some conservatives on social media.
Psst...@Eminem...nobody was 'moved' or 'inspired' by you taking a knee at the #SuperBowlHalftimeShowpic.twitter.com/YDE1I8CYJP— James (@James) 1644836324
The NFL is now the league of sexual anarchy. This halftime show should not be allowed on television.— Charlie Kirk (@Charlie Kirk) 1644801385
Eminem is a buffoon. If someone asked him why he was kneeling, he would have a hard time explaining it.— Tyrone Delroy (@Tyrone Delroy) 1644837067

@Eminem Again, you folded!— alisa smith (@alisa smith) 1644837004
You think he was praying? Haha, that\u2019s funny. I don\u2019t know what he was doing because I didn\u2019t see the halftime show but I\u2019m fairly certain he was not praying, at least not to the God of the Bible— Johnny Marc Galvan (@Johnny Marc Galvan) 1644835108
Why does it always have to be about politics and/or trying to get public attention?? Just perform your music and move on— Staci Sanzone (@Staci Sanzone) 1644837754
Came on Twitter this morning with 1000 democrats telling me I\u2019m upset because the super bowl halftime show was rap/hip hop and Eminem kneeled while the anthem was not playing. Democrats working really hard to keep racism alive\u2026 #RacismNotWelcome #HalfTimeShow— David Warner (@David Warner) 1644836945
