Born in St. Joseph, Missouri, United States, Marshall Bruce “Eminem” Mathers III did not hold back when he let his hatred towards 45th U.S. president Donald Trump known to the 2017 Reading Festival audience in Glasgow, Scotland on August 26, 2017. Now back in the U.S., the American rapper took to Twitter to slam the former host of “The Celebrity Apprentice”.

“Back to Detroit but I won’t be forgetting the UK anytime soon,” Eminem tweeted on August 28, 2017. He added the hashtags #mightactuallymovetoscotland and #facktrump.
In October 2016, Eminem dropped a song against Trump titled “Campaign Speech.” When the rapper took the stage at the 2017 Reading Festival, he led the 90,000 people in the audience in a chant against the U.S. president.
Eminem told the 2017 Reading Festival crowd that he did not want to cause any controversy but he just could not stand Trump, Entertainment Weekly quoted the Detroit rapper as saying. The rapper’s set started after the chant against Trump.
“Scotland, you might have to be our new home,” Detroit Metro Times quoted Eminem as saying to the crowd in between songs. He added that things were not going well in the U.S. and he wanted to take the moment to slam Trump.
Whether or not Eminem is including a song to criticize Trump in his upcoming ninth studio album has yet to be seen. The album is expected to be released before 2018.
Eminem’s most recent studio album was “The Marshall Mathers LP 2.” Released on November 5, 2013, the album contained 16 songs including “Headlights” featuring Nate Ruess, “Love Game” featuring Kendrick Lamar and “The Monster” featuring Rihanna.
Glasgow
Known affectionately in Gaelic as the “Dear Green Place,” Glasgow, Scotland, is a vibrant metropolis built on a foundation of industrial prowess and artistic brilliance. Spanned across the historic River Clyde, the city evolved from a medieval religious settlement into the “Second City of the British Empire” during the Industrial Revolution, celebrated worldwide for its legendary 19th-century shipbuilding.
Architectural marvels dominate the city’s identity. Visitors can explore the 12th-century Glasgow Cathedral— mainland Scotland’s only medieval cathedral to survive the Protestant Reformation intact—or admire the striking Victorian grandeur of the Glasgow City Chambers at George Square. The city’s design legacy was profoundly shaped by pioneering visionary Charles Rennie Mackintosh, whose distinct Art Nouveau style influences landmarks across the West End.
Glasgow is also a world-renowned cultural powerhouse. In 2008, it became the UK’s first United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) City of Music, a title honoring its thriving live music venues and world-class institutions like the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. This rich heritage of hosting massive events culminated in the highly successful 2014 Commonwealth Games, which welcomed athletes from 71 nations and solidified Glasgow’s position as an unforgettable, warm, and creative global destination.
