Eminem sets his sights on New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees in a new track. John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports

Drew Brees came under fire recently for some comments he made about protests during the national anthem in the NFL, and it seems like rap mogul Eminem may have been among those who were unhappy with the New Orleans Saints quarterback.

Eminem and Kid Cudi released a new track called “The Adventures of Moon Man & Slim Shady” shortly after midnight on Thursday. In the song, Eminem sneaks in a quick line that says “f— Drew Brees.” Beware that the clip below contains inappropriate language:

We don’t know why Eminem is so angry with Brees, but the timing hardly seems like a coincidence.

Last month, Brees said he still does not agree with kneeling during the national anthem even in the wake of George Floyd dying while in police custody. Brees was ripped by his own teammates over the remarks and later issued an apology.

What does that have to do with Eminem? The rapper has openly supported Colin Kaepernick and gave him a huge shout-out a few years ago in a verse that eviscerated Donald Trump. We’re guessing that has a lot to do with why he called Brees out.
