Eminem Disses Drew Brees, Raps About COVID-19 on New Kid Cudi Collab
Written by SOURCE on July 10, 2020
Kid Cudi came through with a new song featuring Eminem on Thursday night titled “The Adventures of Moon Man and Slim Shady.”
On the track, which was produced by Dot da Genius, Eminem, and J Gramm, Eminem took aim at Drew Brees, rapping, “Got a lil’ green (Yeah), but I don’t do weed (Nope)/Purp nor lean (Nah), that’s Tunechi (Yeah)/That’s New Orleans (Yeah), fuck Drew Brees (Yeah).” The New Orleans Saints quarterback was criticized after he recently said that he would “never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America or our country.” Brees made the comment to Yahoo Finance after being asked what he thought about kneeling during the national anthem when the NFL returns to show solidarity with people protesting police violence and systemic racism.

Brees later apologized for his comments, saying that it broke his “heart to know the pain I have caused.”
Eminem also blasted people who have complained and protested the use of face masks to help stop the spread of COVID-19 on the Kid Cudi track.
Fuck going on man? (Yeah)
Bunch of half wits up in office
Half of us walkin’ around like a zombie apocalypse
Other half are just pissed off and don’t wanna wear a mask
And they’re just scoffin’
And that’s how you end catchin’ the sick off ’em
I just used the same basket as you shoppin’
Now I’m in a fuckin’ casket from you coffin’
Elsewhere on “The Adventures of Moon Man and Slim Shady,” Eminem addressed police brutality and the murders of George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery.
Prayers to George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery
How the fuck is it that so many cops dirty
Stop man please officer I’m sorry
But I can’t breathe when I got you on top of me
Your god damn knee’s in my carotid artery
