Eminem shocked the DC crowd Tuesday with his “Happy Motherf*cking Veteran’s Day” greeting.
Here’s the video…
The Concert for Valor is a free concert being held on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., in honor of Veterans Day. The concert’s featured performers include The Black Keys, Eminem, The Zac Brown Band, Bruce Springsteen, Carrie Underwood, Metallica, Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters, Jennifer Hudson, Rihanna and Jessie J. Onstage hosts include Bryan Cranston, John Oliver, Jamie Joxx, Jack Black, Bob Woodruff and George Lopez.
NBC Washington reported:
Eminem punctuated Tuesday evening’s Veterans Day concert on the National Mall.
Military veterans and active-duty service members packed the Mall Tuesday for the free performance also featuring Bruce Springsteen, Metallica and Rihanna among other performers.
…and Eminem is just dropping “f” bombs left and right. Not positive this is the right venue for that. #TheConcertForValor

There were kids in the crowd.
Is Eminem supposed to be cussing like that?!? Aren’t there kids there? #TheConcertForValor

Viewers were not impressed.
Those who brought the kids to #TheConcertforValor are regretting it now. I don’t think the F-word belongs in any Veteran’s Day greeting

@JulieCareyNBC I put the blame squarely on the promoters / #HBO & not Eminem. They should have known better #HeadsShouldRoll #disrespectful

Everyday word in the military. #TheConcertforValor MT @JulieCareyNBC I don’t think the F-word belongs in any Veteran’s Day greeting.

@JulieCareyNBC nothing like a little F-Bomb to make for a classy evening.

55 F-Bombs and counting.
@MadeleineBlaze @oliverdarcy I think I was up to like 55… I stopped counting. An absolute disgrace.
