Killer Mike appears on ‘Real Time With Bill Maher’, talks racism, Baltimore, and Bill O’Reilly
Run The Jewels member says O’Reilly is “full of shit” after recent controversial comments.

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.
The panel also discussed racism in America, links between hip-hop and violence, and the recent riots in Baltimore. Watch highlights from the show below.
Run The Jewels will play Field Day (6th - 7th June), where DIY is an official media partner. Tickets are on sale now. Visit diymag.com/presents for more information.
