Musician Sia has announced that all the proceeds from her collaboration on Eminem’s new album will be donated to the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Centre.
The move comes after rapper Eminem was criticised for his use of homophobic slurs in his new song ‘Rap God’. In the tune Eminem raps, “break a motherfu**er’s table over the back of a couple off faggots and crack it in half, and ‘you fags think it’s all a game till I walk a flock of flames off a plank.”
Sia had previously defended Enimem describing him as a performance artist, telling her fans that she know that he is not homophobic.
In a recent interview with ‘Rolling Stone’ magazine Enimem explained that when he used the word faggot it was not necessarily meant as a homophobic remark and that it was often his fictional character Slim Shady who made the remarks, not him personally.
Eminem’s latest album is ‘The Marshall Mathers LP 2’.
