Since the high-profile assassination of conservativist activistic Charlie Kirk on fri, lot of sham word about his death are circulating. One such viral post concerns Eminem and Kid Rock supposedly putting aside their differences and launching a charity for Kirk that will "promote debate." Some posts also claimed that Eminem composed a track in Kirk's memory.
However, HT.com can confirm that rappers Eminem and Kid Rock have announced no such collaboration. Not has Eminem released a track paying tribute to Charlie Kirk.
It all started with a post on the Facebook page RAP Devotees. According to the Readers' Added Context section underneath an X post with the false claim, the page is operated from Pakistan and Vietnam.
The post read: "Eminem and Kid Rock shocked the world when they buried their political differences to launch a charity in Charlie Kirk’s name, called 'Charlie Kirk: From Debate to Great.” The foundation will fund and organize debate events at universities across the country—carrying forward the mission Kirk never got to finish."
The post also included supposed speech by Eminem that read: "“Our political views are different, but when you look at the common ground, Kirk was a huge inspiration to young people. More than that, he was a good father and a good husband.”
They went viral, but neither the social media handles of the two rappers nor any official statement made on their behalf confirm such a plan.

On Saturday, multiple news outlets reported that Robinson, was involved in a romantic relationship with a 'trans roommate.'
