Is eminem gay yes or no
While the use of character Ken Kaniff on his albums' interluded rubbed folks the wrong way, it was the actual subject matter of the songs that have drawn the most focus from gay rights advocates, specifically his use of the word "fa**ot", or "F*g". “How can anyone think this is, you know? He’s just writing about the way things are, not how he thinks, but the way things are,” the pop legend told Lowe.

According to Elton, who went public about his identity as a homosexual man decades ago, he never got a sense of Eminem the person, but especially the artist, as hateful towards gay people, asserting that the Detroit rapper "was never homophobic." Apple Beats 1 DJ Zane Lowe touched back on the historic moment during an interview with John, as he celebrated his 70th birthday over the weekend. The following year, Em would receive a co-sign from an industry heavyweight whose very name is synonymous with LGBT in music, when during his performance of "Stan" he was joined on stage by Elton John at the 2001 Grammy Awards. The song created controversy for coming out the gate with him rapping, "My words are like a dagger with a jagged edge/ That'll stab you in the head, whether you're a fag or lez/ Or a homosex, hermaph or a trans-a-vest/ Pants or dress, hate fags? The answer's yes," in the opening bars of the song's very first verse. Eminem has been ridiculed by the LGBT community ever since GLAAD waged a protest against him for lyrics deemed homophobic on The Marshall Mathers LP cut "Criminal," back in 2000.
