From leading chats of ‘f**k Donald Trump’ to writing entire songs against the former Celebrity Apprentice host, Eminem has been consistently vocal about his hatred for the current President.

Earlier this year, the rapper launched a fierce attack on Trump in a freestyle broadcast at the BET Hip Hop Awards. During the explosive 4 minute rap, Eminem labelled the President a "bitch", a "racist" and a "kamikaze".

Speaking on the American radio show Shade 45, the Detroit-born artist spoke candidly about Trump once more, expressing annoyance the President hadn’t yet commented on the freestyle.

“I was and still am extremely angry, and I can’t stand that motherf**ker, and I feel like he’s not paying attention to me,” he said. “And I was kind of waiting for him to say something… and for some reason, he didn’t say anything,”

Trump’s silence on the subject has come as a surprise to many people, not just Eminem — the Twitter-using ‘leader of the free world’ is known to use social media to speak out against his high-profile critics.

Perhaps Trump has remained silent because he once endorsed Eminem to be President. “I know a winner when I see one,” he said in 2004. “And Donald Trump is telling you right now, Slim Shady is a winner.”

Meanwhile, Eminem released his first single off the upcoming album, “Walk on Water” featuring Beyoncé, earlier this month.
