Obama raps Eminem’s ‘Lose Yourself’ as both rally for Kamala Harris in Detroit

'I have done a lot of rallies, so I don’t usually get nervous,' Barack Obama told the cheering crowd. 'But I was feeling some kind of way following Eminem.'

At Kamala Harris‘ campaign rally in Detroit on Tuesday, former U.S. president Barack Obama told the crowd his “palms are sweaty, knees weak, my arms are heavy” over having to speak on stage after rapper Eminem.

Both Obama, 63, and Eminem, 52, attended the rally to promote Vice-President Harris ahead of the Nov. 5 American presidential election.

“I have done a lot of rallies, so I don’t usually get nervous,” Obama told the cheering crowd. “But I was feeling some kind of way following Eminem.”

The former president — a known music lover — then recited several lines from Eminem’s song Lose Yourself, but adapted the lyrics to be in first-person.

Harris’ supporters grew raucous as they shouted support and waved campaign signs while Obama rapped.

“I notice my palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy, vomit on my sweater already, mom’s spaghetti, I’m nervous but on the surface I look calm and ready to drop bombs but I keep on forgetting,” Obama recited while bouncing up and down behind the podium.

He then sang along to the Lose Yourself melody and joked, “I thought Eminem was performing, I was going to jump out.”

“Love me some Eminem,” Obama said.
