"It's important to use your voice; I'm encouraging everyone to get out and vote, please … I don't think anyone wants an America where people are worried about retribution of what people will do if you make your opinion known," he said.
"I think vice-president Harris supports a future for this country where these freedoms and many others will be protected and upheld."
After showing his support for Kamala, Eminem also welcomed former American president Barack Obama to the stage to address the crowd.
"I gotta say, I have done a lot of rallies, so I don't usually get nervous, but I was feeling some kind of way following Eminem," he said.

"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 …"
