Roseanne Barr faces backlash for taking aim at Eminem in pro-Trump rap song: 'Screaming embarrassment'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Comedian Roseanne Barr stumped the Internet by appearing in a bizarre pro-Donald Trump rap video alongside the Canadian rapper and singer Tom MacDonald, reported Independent.

Titled 'Daddy's Home,' the song was released on Friday, January 17. Barr is seen in the music video wearing box braids, gold chains, and a pair of sunglasses, and at one point even attempts to twerk for the camera.

At one point in the song, Barr calls out acclaimed rapper Eminem, saying, "Screw Eminem, I’m Roseanne,” and flips off at the camera. 'The Real Slim Shady' rapper notably endorsed Trump's rival Kamala Harris in November 2024.

Roseanne Barr's rap in 'Daddy's Home'

The music video of 'Daddy's Home' aims to show off the decisive victory achieved by the conservatives in the 2024 general election. It is reportedly filled with MAGA symbolism a convoy of cars waving dozens of US flags.

Barr raps in the song, "They try to cancel me and say I’m a racist / I got a mean hook, they can’t get me with that jam. Trying to take away my right to go and say this / Well, listen up, cuz this granny’s going bad.”

According to the Independent, 72-year-old Barr was accused of making racist remarks in a tweet about Obama and his senior advisor Valerie Jarrett in 2018. It led to her eponymous sitcom on the ABC network getting canceled soon afterward.

While Barr had apologized at the time, she appeared at a MAGA event in September 2024 and claimed to have been a "good friend" of Trump.

“President Trump … God bless that man I love him and everybody knows it. I love him more now than I ever loved him and I loved him pretty damn good. He drove me out in a Bentley when I did my second HBO special at Trump Palace in Atlantic City if you’ve seen it. He’s always been a good friend and a good man,” she said.

In the new song, MacDonald is seen alongside Barr rapping about MAGA victory, "We won, you mad / it’s done, too bad / boohoo, so sad / now your daddy’s home. Thank God, that we’re back / Couldn’t take another four years / that’s a wrap / I can take a bath in your tears... Say goodbye to Joe, your daddy’s coming home."
