In response Dr. Umar, fans unveil list of donations Eminem has made through the years

Posted on By

During a recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, Pan-Africanist motivational speaker, Dr. Umar Johnson expressed his resentment over Eminem’s Greatest Of All Time status and accused Eminem for not helping black community by building schools and hospitals.

“No non-African can ever be the best of anything African. It is an insult to the ancestors. It’s an insult to the race and it is an insult to every Black person. Do you think I can go to Palestine and be the best of anything of Palestinian culture? You never see that. You think I can go to Israel and be the best of anything in Israel whether it be a cook, an instrumentalist, a dancer? Hell no. We have to stop naming non-African people as being the best of any aspect in our cultural product because it’s an insult. I can acknowledge Eminem’s talent but for you to put him at the top, that’s white supremacy bro. I don’t see Eminem building schools and hospitals. I don’t see DJ Khaled building schools and hospitals. I don’t see DJ Vlad doing none of them.” – said Dr. Umar.

In response to him, @OIIie_X account on X, pulled off the official documents of Eminem’s donations to the community through the years which includes donations for impoverished kids, people with drug abuse and mental illness, preventing gun violence, contribute to music education, etc. Eminem never talks about any of these donations.
