This unexpected performance came after Ramaswamy’s interview with Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds. As he was signing autographs and interacting with the crowd, Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” started playing. Ramaswamy couldn’t resist joining in, singing along to the rap song while posing for pictures and shaking hands.
The moment was captured on video and sparked a range of reactions on social media:

Some praised Ramaswamy for his bold and entertaining performance, while others found it cringe-worthy but acknowledged that it garnered attention.
He’s having fun and the people are too…based. People love connection and this is one way to connect.
If you wanna judge by song selection or what presidential candidates should or shouldn’t do then many cringe.

While some suggested that Ramaswamy should have freestyled his own rap instead of using Eminem’s lyrics, it’s worth noting that he has a history with rap. During his time at Harvard University, Ramaswamy performed as a libertarian rapper under the stage name “Da Vek.” He often performed “Lose Yourself” and identified with Eminem’s story of overcoming adversity and seizing opportunities.
The unexpected rap performance at the Iowa State Fair has certainly put Ramaswamy in the spotlight, generating both praise and criticism. Regardless of opinions, it’s clear that he knows how to make a memorable impression.
