However, there is one thing that brings them together – their Detroit Lions fandom. They both expressed it as much on social media on Sunday, as the Lions dominated the Tennessee Titans, 52-17.

"Here's one thing @KidRock and I do agree on... GO @Lions!!!! Appreciate you, Bob," Eminem wrote on X.

Kid Rock replied.

"Thanks @Eminem - Who would of thought it would be 2 white rappers from Detroit / Michigan to show our divided Country what class is and how it should be done! Appreciate ya too Marshall!"

The Lions appear to be making believers out of everyone. Detroit’s win put them at 6-1 for the season and on top of the NFC North. It is the third time this season the Lions have scored at least 40 points.

"That's what champions do," Detroit’s head coach Dan Campbell said after the game, via The Detroit News. "When you come out, you don't care what time of day it is, what the records are, what the surface is, you come out and handle your business, and we did that."
