Detroit, Michigan rapper Eminem drew criticism from many on social media due to what some deemed an expletive-filled performance at The Concert For Valor in Washington D.C. earlier this week.
According to XXLMag.com, Em opened his performance by proclaiming “happy mothafuckin Veterans Day” and then proceeded to throw out the word “fuck” numerous times.
During his performance, which was free to the public and streamed live on HBO, Eminem was joined by singer Rihanna.

One Twitter user questioned why Eminem would use profanity during a concert celebrating the nation’s veterans.
Pretty strange to hear Eminem swearing up a storm as the grand finale to thank our vets. So much anger and hostility is those F-bombs.

@LanaDelRey tell him to go back to his trailer park and eat his microwave hotpocket dinner and suck on his sisters tiddies.
