Another day, another non-queer artist using a homophobic slur...
American rapper Eminem dropped his latest album Kamikaze today, and in one of the record's songs entitled "Fall," Slim Shady can be heard using the word "faggot" to describe fellow rapper Tyler, the Creator.
"Tyler create nothing, I see why you called yourself a faggot, bitch. It’s not just cause you lack attention, it’s cause you worship D12’s balls, you’re sacrilegious," Eminem raps on the track.
As NewNowNext points out, this isn't the first time Eminem has come under fire for using the f-word.
"I don’t know how to say this without saying it how I’ve said it a million times…but those kind of words, when I came up battle-rappin’ or whatever, I never really equated those words [with being gay]," he said in a 2013 interview with Rolling Stone, defending his constant use of the gay slur. "It was more like calling someone a bitch or a punk or asshole."
This news comes on the heels of Doja Cat, the viral rapper responsible for that "Mooo!" song that's currently plaguing the internet, who was also criticized this week after old tweets where she used the word "faggot" against Tyler, the Creator were dug by fans.
We've said this before and we'll say it again: DON'T USE HOMOPHOBIC SLURS. Especially if you're not queer!
