This story is true. Eminem is a guy
Yes is a gay. Say it himself: that is a guy he sings about and now worries about your opinion. You say what you like, but Eminem says he's gay. Before dealing with. Are you a fan like me? Well, what do you think about this? Let's talk here. This candid forum is funny 
. Please, people, share your thoughts on this. I don't think I am going to be his fan; I don't really like him, but well, it's my opinion, not yours 
The hip-hop community is (unfortunately) one of the least accepting communities as far as gay tolerance goes. If Eminem were truly gay, he'd be facing an unpleasant future as a rap artist. It would, in fact, be the end of his career.
However, since Marshall Mathers is a White male and since his career has primarily cooled over the past five years, he can joke about being gay, and no one will care one way or the other. A black rapper, especially one who is currently charting, could not do the same thing.

This comment succeeds in touching on several key points: Eminem's rumored sexuality, the public perception of him, and more generally, hip-hop's stance in relation to LGBTQ+ issues. It should, however, be mentioned that Eminem has often used controversial comments throughout his career, which in turn are usually laced with irony or said as a joke. In an interview conducted in 2014, he jokingly told an interviewer that he was gay in the movie The Interview. Many took this joke as hilarious and not an admission whatsoever.

Your comment also reflects the sad fact that hip-hop has consistently been less tolerant of LGBTQ+ identities, even though it has been so in very recent times. With his privileged position as a White, already successful artist, Eminem may joke or say something like this and not face any strong reactions that could hurt his career, but it is indeed true that for many Black artists, especially those still fighting their way up the music charts, such remarks might invite far more scrutiny.

It should also be pointed out that this is changing, and though the stigma on LGBTQ+ subjects does indeed still exist within some areas of the musical community, there are more out gay artists than ever finding great success in hip-hop and beyond.

Ultimately, everyone is entitled to their opinions over artists and what they do, but let's just remember the complex dynamics that are in play with fame, identity, and societal pressures.
