Eminem, born Marshall Mathers, has been known to exaggerate things in his lyrics, but he apparently wasn’t kidding about being visited by the Secret Service. In fact, BuzzFeed has obtained documents showing agents interviewed the rapper about “threatening lyrics” toward President Donald Trump and his daughter Ivanka Trump in his 2017 release, “Revival.”These specific lyrics caught the attention of the agency: “Donald Duck’s on as the Tonka Truck in the yard / But dog, how the fuck is Ivanka Trump in the trunk of my car? The rapper alluded to the visit in a 2018 track called “The Ringer,” where he claims the Secret Service paid him a visit at the behest of the president: “’Cause Agent Orange just sent the Secret Service / To meet in person / To see if I really think of hurtin’ him / Or ask if I’m linked to terrorists / I said: “Only when it comes to ink and lyricists.”Eminem has made it clear that he’s not a Trump fan. “What he’s doing putting people against each other is scary fucking shit,” he said in a December 2017 interview. “His election was such a disappointment to me about the state of the country.”
