Roseanne Barr has stepped into the music scene with a new pro-Donald Trump rap music video, titled "Daddy's Home," featuring Canadian rapper Tom MacDonald. Released recently, the video showcases Barr in a new light, sporting blond box braids, gold chains, and sunglasses, while delivering bold lyrics that have sparked significant debate and criticism.
The video's lyrics include lines such as "We won, you mad, it's done, too bad, boo hoo, so sad … you cry, we laugh," coupled with MAGA iconography. Barr uses the platform to address her past controversies, rapping about being canceled and accused of racism. She attempts to start a feud with Eminem, declaring "Screw Eminem, I'm Roseanne," adding another layer to the already contentious release.
Roseanne Barr's career faced a turning point in 2018 when ABC canceled her show "Roseanne" following a tweet she made about Valerie Jarrett. Barr's tweet compared Jarrett to a "Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby," which led to widespread backlash. Channing Dungey, ABC Entertainment President at the time, stated that Barr's tweet was "abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values." The network subsequently created a spinoff titled "The Conners," reviving the show without Barr by writing off her character.
"Roseanne’s Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show." – Channing Dungey
In response to the uproar, Barr issued an apology:
"I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans. I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me-my joke was in bad taste." – Roseanne Barr
Despite these past events, Barr remains a vocal supporter of Donald Trump and continues to make headlines with her outspoken remarks. In "Daddy's Home," she confronts those who have attempted to cancel her:
"They try to cancel me and say I’m a racist. I got a mean hook, they can’t get me with that jam. Trying to take away my right to go and say this. Well, listen up, cuz this Granny’s going bad." – Roseanne Barr
Barr, who is Jewish herself, has previously stirred controversy with claims that "nobody died in the Holocaust," adding another layer of complexity to her public image.
The release of the rap video has reignited discussions about Barr's past and her role in current political discourse. Critics have been quick to point out the provocative nature of her lyrics and imagery, questioning her motives and the impact on her legacy.
