Eminem Lends El-Sayed 'Not Afraid' for Election Day Campaign Ad
The rapper’s 2010 hit underscores El-Sayed’s final campaign push as he urges Michigan voters to show what is possible.
Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed released a campaign video featuring Eminem's 2010 hit 'Not Afraid' on Election Day, winning the race on Nov 4, confirmed by The Associated Press.
Eminem's team denied direct contact with the campaign, clarifying that the music usage did not amount to a personal endorsement of El-Sayed.
The 1-minute, 18-second ad paired campaign footage with lyrics from 'Not Afraid,' including visuals of President Donald Trump over the line 'all those who look down on me.'
El-Sayed defeated Republican Mike Rogers in a close competition for the Senate seat vacated by Democrat Gary Peters, with victory confirmed on Nov 4.
Recently collaborating with Kid Rock, an outspoken critic of El-Sayed, Eminem stated the partnership focused on friendship rather than choosing political sides.
