Eminems verse on Big Seans new track No Favors had the internet going nuts. One person who is not amused is political commentator Ann Coulter, who was name-checked on the track by Marshall, and not in a good way.

On the single, the Rap God sends some scathing shots Coulters way, spitting, And fuck Ann Coulter with a Klan poster/With a lamp post, door handle, shutter/A damn bolt cutter, a sandal, a can opener, a candle, rubber/Piano, a flannel, sucker, some hand soap, butter/A banjo and manhole cover/Hand over the mouth and nose smother/Trample ran over the tramp with the Land Rover/The band, the Lambo, Hummer and Road Runner/Go ham donut, or go Rambo, gotta make an example of her/Thats for Sandra Bland, ho, and Philando.

Em didnt stop there, even going in on President Trump. Im anti, cant no government handle a commando/Trumps a bitch/Ill make his whole brand go under, Eminem raps.

TMZ recently caught up with Coulter, who said the bigger issue with the Detroit rappers bars directed at her is they normalize violence toward women.

Eminem with his rap song has normalized violence against women, she said. He talks about f-ing women with an umbrella until the bleep comes out. This goes on for years. He denounces gays using ugly terms. His homophobia and misogyny is quite well known.

Check out what people had to say on Twitter about Ems verse below.

The European Parliaments lead Brexit negotiator has said that the European Union needs to reform or it risks disappearing completely.

Speaking to the BBC World Service on Wednesday, Guy Verhofstadt said that there are multiple sources of pressure on the bloc.

If we look to the pressure on the European Union at the moment [President Donald Trump] is bidding on the designation of the European Union and also Vladimir Putin who wants to divide the European Union, he said.

Then theres also the threat of jihadism and then internally we have enormous pressure by nationalists, populists, the whole question of Brexit, so its an existential moment for the European Union, he added.

He said that it is now the time to reform, otherwise it could disappear.

Mr Verhofstadts warning echoes a speech he made in London in January during which he said that the European trading bloc was facing a three-pronged attack from outside forces.

Two of the forces were Russian President Putin and radical Islamism; the third, he said, is Mr Trump, he said.

I have just come back from the US and my view is that we have a third front that is undermining the EU ... and that is Donald Trump, he said at the time.

Commenting on Brexit earlier last month, Mr Verhofstadt, who is the former prime minister of Belgium, said that Theresa May is creating an illusion after the prime minister outlined Britain's plan for leaving the EU at a landmark speech at Lancaster House.

He also said that it was not very helpful that there had been discussions about Britain becoming a tax haven after the split.

I think it creates an illusion that you can go out of the single market and the customs union and you can cherry pick and still have a number of advantages, he said at the time.

European Parliament's lead Brexit negotiator warns European Union could 'disappear' - The Independent

LONDON An independent Scotland would not be part of the European Union, Prime Minister Theresa May said on Wednesday.

A majority of Scots backed staying in the EU in last year's referendum and the ruling Scottish National Party (SNP), which lost a bid for independence in 2014, has said there should be another vote on the issue if its views on Brexit are rejected in upcoming divorce negotiations with Brussels.

On Tuesday, Scotland's devolved parliament rejected May's Brexit plans in a symbolic, non-binding vote.

Asked by an SNP lawmaker whether she would go ahead and trigger Britain's divorce from the EU without agreeing a UK-wide negotiating position, May said: "He constantly refers to the interests of Scotland inside the European Union - an independent Scotland would not be in the European Union."

LONDON British employers expect to offer less generous pay deals this year compared with 2016 despite rising inflation, probably putting pressure on consumer spending as the year goes on, a Bank of England survey showed on Wednesday.

EDINBURGH Support for Scottish independence rose last month after British Prime Minister Theresa May came out in favour of Britain making a clean break with the European Union, a BMG survey for Herald Scotland showed on Wednesday.

BEIJING/LONDON China has invited British Prime Minister Theresa May to attend a major summit in May on its "One Belt, One Road" initiative to build a new Silk Road, diplomatic sources told Reuters, as London said she would visit China this year.

High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs Federica Mogherini issued a statement on Tuesday in criticism ofthe Regulation Bill adopted by the Knesset, which will retroactively legalize thousands of West Bank settlement homes built on private Palestinian land.

"The European Union condemns the recent adoption of the 'Regularization Law' by the Israeli Knesset on 6 February. This law crosses a new and dangerous threshold by legalizing under Israeli law the seizure of Palestinian property rights and effectively authorizing the confiscation of privately owned Palestinian land in occupied territory. The law may provide for 'legalizing' numerous settlements and outposts previously considered as illegal even under Israeli law, which would be contrary to previous commitments by Israeli governments and illegal under international law.

"In passing this new law, the Israeli parliament has legislated on the legal status of land within occupied territory, which is an issue that remains beyond its jurisdiction," said Mogherini. "Should it be implemented, the law would further entrench a one-state reality of unequal rights, perpetual occupation and conflict," the statement continued.

The EU, also in line with recently adopted UN Security Council resolution 2334, the statement went on, "considers Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territory to be illegal under international law and condemns the recent settlement announcements. As identified in the recommendations of the report by the Middle East Quartet, such settlements constitute an obstacle to peace and threaten the viability of a two-state solution.

Mogherini's statement then said that "the EU urges the Israeli leadership to refrain from implementing the law and to avoid measures that further raise tensions and endanger the prospects for a peaceful solution to the conflict, so as to reaffirm unequivocally through actions and policy its continued commitment to a two-state solution in order to rebuild mutual trust and create conditions for direct and meaningful negotiations."

With her somewhat belated statement, Mogherini thus joins numerous represetnatives of other international bodies and nations to come out against the approved bill, such as UN Secretary-General Antnio Guterres, whose bureau expressed his objection to the bill earlier Tuesday evening.

"The Secretary-General deeply regrets the adoption of the so called "Regularization bill" on 6 February by the Knesset. This bill is in contravention of international law and will have far reaching legal consequences for Israel," said the statement ascribed to Guterres.

Eariler, a Palestinian Cabinet minister on Tuesday called on the international community to punish Israel for a contentious new law, just hours after the Knesset adopted the law.

French President Franois Hollande called on the Israeli government to repeal the law, warning that it marked the beginning of annexation.
