<p>Eminem ignited a social media firestorm at the BET awards Tuesday with the release of a blistering rap on President Donald Trump.</p> 
<p>The recorded video shows the rapper in a parking garage freestyling on political controversies like the NFL's national anthem protests, Trump's proposed border wall and his international diplomacy.</p> 
<p>Warning: Explicit language in video below</p> 
<p>In one verse he rapped: "This is his form of distraction/Plus, he gets an enormous reaction/When he attacks the NFL, so we focus on that/Instead of talking about Puerto Rico or gun reform for Nevada/All of these horrible tragedies and he's bored and would rather cause a Twitter storm with the Packers."</p> 
<p>In another: "But we better give Obama props/Because what we got in the office now's a kamikaze that'll probably cause a nuclear holocaust."</p> 
<p>Soon after "The Storm" was released, the video became a top trending topic on Twitter, racked up hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube and sparked reactions from multiple celebrities.</p> 
<p>LeBron James quoted his lyrics in a tweet: "Racism is the only thing he's Fantastic 4(fantastic for), cause that's how he gets his rock off, he's orange. Sheesh @Eminem."</p>

<p>In the video, Eminem also raised a fist in support of NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, whose decision to kneel during the anthem sparked the current controversy.</p> 
<p>In response, Kaepernick tweeted: "I appreciate you @Eminem."</p> 
<p>Ellen DeGeneres also tweeted her praise: "I (heart) @Eminem."</p> 
<p>There was no immediate reaction Tuesday from Trump or the White House press office.</p>
