Eminem addresses backlash over his guest appearance on Kid Rock’s new faith-based project, saying the decision is not about taking sides. Multiple outlets report that he frames his involvement as simply working with a long-time friend, describing it as “just choosing to make music” and adding a message of prayer.
Kid Rock’s album, reported as “Halfway 2 Jesus,” includes the track “Heal My Faith,” where Eminem is featured. One report also says Kid Rock later adds Lil Wayne to the Christian album, which results in Eminem being moved from one song to another—keeping him on the project but changing which track features him. The coverage notes that the collaborations draw attention to whether the artists align politically, but the public explanation across outlets centers on the music-making relationship rather than ideology.
