I'M A GAY,I LIKE MEN---EMINEM

Eminen

Eminen’s gay confession sparks controversy

Legendary rapper, Marshal Mathers, better known as Eminem played a cameo in a Seth Rogen and James Franco short video titled The Interview, where he admits to being gay; the singer left his fans in shock.

 

“If I say something about women, I think a lot of that is just me dealing with issues with my mother. Or when I say things about gay people; people think that my lyrics are homophobic but it’s because I’m gay. It’s kind of about me just confronting it,” he revealed in the 2:40 minutes video.

Prodded further by the interviewer, Skylark, he said; “I am homosexual. I like men. I’m more shocked that people haven’t figured it out yet. It’s kind of like I’ve been playing gay peekaboo, I pretty much have just been leaving a breadcrumb trail of gayness.”

However, it turned out it was just a parody. According to information, the cameo has been in the works for years and was an idea of the director, Evan Goldberg. But with Seth Rogen‘s help, they got it all figured out and okayed by Eminem. They all thought it was brilliant and hilarious. Evan was the one who opened the door on discussions, though, after the idea was hatched.

“Evan has a history with Sasha Baron Cohen — they worked together on Da Ali G Show and they remained close. Also, Eminem went and did that stunt at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards with Sasha during the time of Bruno’s release. So everyone was already connected in one way or another.

 The relationships led to everyone doing the fun bit in The Interview because they knew it would be one of the funniest things in the movie. So it was formed by previous relationships and it’s great that everything worked out, but Evan should get the credit for getting the ball rolling,” a source said.

Though it was intended as a funny skit, fans of the artistes failed to see the humour in it, going by the comments generated on the internet.
