Run The Jewels member Killer Mike appeared on American television channel HBO’s ‘Real Time With Bill Maher’ on Friday (15th May), on a panel to discuss race relations in Baltimore, following the death of Freddie Gray.
Killer Mike, John Waters, Charles Murray, Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Heather C. McGhee joined Maher’s show, with Killer Mike saying that Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly is “more full of shit than an outhouse.” The rapper’s comments follow the news anchor’s assertion that rap culture is at fault for the decline of Christianity.
