(AllHipHop News) A former bodyguard for Eminem said he fears for the rapper’s life, after a blistering freestyle directed at Donald Trump.

Eminem unleashed the bars directed at President Trump during the 2017 BET Awards in a rap called “The Storm.”

Em’s former bodyguard Byron “Big Naz” Williams did an interview with the “Murder Master Music Show,” and said he is worried about the Detroit rapper’s safety.

“It’s one thing when you go against an emcee but we are talking about going against the Government,” the rapper’s former muscle said.

“When he told the Trump fan’s that y’all gotta decide and then he threw up the black power first. That was powerful and somebody needed to say it but his bodyguards got their work cut out for them.”

Big Naz said that so far, Eminem’s skin color protected him from much more serious repercussions.

“If Eminem was black he would have had secret service at his house and been arrested.

A$AP Rocky still aiming to release his new album this year

Asked when he wants to release his new album, the New York rapper said, “ASAP—no pun intended.” Pushed as to whether that meant this year, he added: “Yes, sir.” He previously made a similar claim to Complex back in August.

Speaking about the upcoming record, Rocky said: “My new album is really about testing new sounds. People are scared to test new sounds, so they go with what’s current ’cause it’s the easy thing to do.”

Expanding on this topic, he added: “The top 100 songs sound a certain way. People cater more to that because it’s a bigger demographic behind that, or it’s a guaranteed demographic behind that. I prefer to experiment and have my crowd grow with me and to reach new crowds. I don’t just rap—I actually make music. That’s why it takes time. These sonics represent me.”

Earlier this year A$AP Rocky released Cozy Tapes 2 Vol. 2: Too Cozyalongside A$AP Mob.
