Did Eminem speak about Charlie Kirk in a tribute song? Viral claim debunked

A Facebook post about Eminem and Charlie Kirk is going viral on the social media platform. The post claimed Eminem allegedly mentioned the late political commentator in his recent performance.

Despite the difference in political ideologies, the rapper supposedly shared his condolences. For the unversed, Eminem has been a vocal critic of Donald Trump and the MAGA movement for a long time.

The viral Facebook post claimed Eminem reportedly stated that due to the assassination, Kirk's young children lost their father.

Eminem's alleged rap for Charlie Kirk has been spread on YouTube and has garnered thousands of views.

"Eminem spoke as a father to grieving daughters: 'I hate them, but as a father, Kirk was a great father, and it's heartbreaking for the two girls to lose their dad too soon.' In that instant, the battle-hardened rapper became a man sharing raw grief, and the shockwave of compassion rippled across the globe. Social media erupted, tears, tributes, and awe, as fans and strangers alike felt the weight of that shared sorrow," the post claimed.

The news of Eminem rapping or talking about Charlie Kirk's death is fake. The tribute song is AI-generated, and the rapper has not addressed the assassination yet.

The page that uploaded the news, 90s HipHop Throwbacks, is known for creating fake news using AI-generated images.

The Charlie Kirk tribute song was shared on the r/Eminem subreddit as well. Fans called out the blatant use of AI in the reply section.

"YouTube needs to impose a policy that AI songs need to be mentioned as AI in the title. Imagine a clueless person clicking on this thinking it's a real song," one fan wrote.

"It's crazy how AI is developing. This is less than a couple of hours. I can imagine if such AI songs came out in the 2000s, we probably would think it's some leak," another fan stated.
