Following a performance of the early 2000s hit "Lose Yourself," Eminem suddenly took a knee.

Taking a knee became a controversial act when former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick decided against standing for the national anthem in 2016.

The quarterback took the knee to protest police brutality and racism in the United States.

Kaepernick was criticized and subsequently ousted from the league for his actions.

According to CNN, this isn't the first time Eminem has signaled support for Kaepernick.

At the 2017 BET Hip Hop Awards, Eminem took the stage, performing a spirited freestyle rap in which he embraced Kaepernick's stand against racism.

F— that, this is for Colin, ball up a fist and keep that s— balled like Donald the b—-.
