Eminem slammed for calling Tyler, the Creator a homophobic slur on new song

It’s been 17 years since Eminem pushed back against accusations of homophobia by performing a duet to “Stan” with Elton John at the 2001 Grammys. The two men have since enjoyed a close friendship, with the openly gay John saying in a 2017 interview that the rapper’s lyrics “were never homophobic” and didn’t represent his actual attitude toward the LGBTQ community.
