Reportedly, award-winning rapper, Eminem, was visited by the secret service due to his rap "Framed" from his 2017 album Revival. The visit was in relation to the reference of president Trump and his daughter Ivanka Trump that Eminem has used in his rap song.

"Framed"

In the song, he rapped the following lines on Trump “That’s an awfully hot coffee pot, Should I drop it on Donald Trump? Probably not, but that’s all I got ’til I come up with a solid plot".  In addition to this, the Grammy winner rapped on Trump's senior adviser and daughter, Ivanka Trump with the following lines  “Donald Duck’s on, there’s a Tonka Truck in the yard/ But dog, how the f— is Ivanka Trump in the trunk of my car?”

According to reports, just a day after Revival made it to the markets, the Secret Service was apparently alerted by an employee of a local media outlet, who had contacted them through an email for a comment in relation to the rap. In addition to this, the Secret Service deemed Eminem's actions and lyrics as inappropriate. 

According to the reports, the agents read out the lyrics to Eminem and in his response to them, he started to rap the lyrics along while they read out the lines. The Secret Service agents decided not to forward the case to a legal prosecutor. 
This is not the first time Eminem has berated the American president. He criticized Trump at the 2017 BET awards, where he performed a 5-minute freestyle rap.
