Former President Barack Obama made history on Tuesday when he became the first former president to perform a rap song on stage.

The 63-year-old retiree rapped the lyrics to “Lose Yourself” after he was introduced by rapper Eminem, 52, at a campaign rally in Detroit, Michigan.

Before introducing Obama in his hometown, Eminem urged people “to get out and vote,” and endorsed Harris.

“I have done a lot of rallies, so I don’t usually get nervous,” Obama said while campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris. “But I was feeling some kind of way following Eminem.”

Obama then launched into the opening verse of Eminem’s hit song, “Lose Yourself,” from the 2002 film “8 Mile”. He re-worded the lyrics in the first person.

“I notice my palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy/ vomit on my sweater already/ mom’s spaghetti/ I’m nervous but on the surface I look calm and ready to drop bombs/ but I keep on forgetting,” Obama rapped as the crowd cheered. “I thought Eminem was gonna be performing. I was gonna jump out. Love, love me some Eminem,” the former president added.

Eminem is not fond of former President Donald Trump – or any Republican. He endorsed President Joe Biden in 2016. And he’s gone as far as dissing Republican candidates in his rap songs.

In 2016, Eminem released a song titled “Campaign Speech,” warning Americans not to vote for then-candidate Donald Trump.

Eminem later said Trump’s policies were harmful to America and criticized fans who helped Trump win the 2016 race.

Obama and his wife, Michelle, hit the campaign trail for Harris who is tied with Trump in national polls.

According to pollsters, Harris is losing ground with Black males, Hispanics and Muslims.
