The world is still collectively shook from Eminem's epic anti-Trump freestyle he unleashed at last week's BET Hip-Hop Awards, but it seems that Vince Staples is not impressed. At a Pitchfork-sponsored talk at Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art, he made his feelings pretty clear: "It was trash... he can do better."
He went on to say that “If I said, ‘This is for Colin/Ball up a fist/And keep it balled up/Like Donald the bitch,’ they would be like, ‘Get this n*gga out of here.’” The story was widely reported over the weekend by numerous outlets - including Pitchfork - but Staples has clarified in a series of tweets that his comments were simply "jokes" taken out of context. See his comments below.
