Rapper Eminem slipped an eyebrow-raising confession into his latest interview - and it's left fans very confused.
The Stan hit maker, 45, was speaking with Vulture upon the release of his new album Revival when talk turned to his dating life.
Divorced twice from Kim Scott, the mother of hisdaughter Hailie, the long-single music star said he's been asked how he met potential dates, Emimem mentioned Tinder - and popular gay dating app Grindr.
Here's the full exchange:
Interviewer: When you were dating, how'd you meet people? Tinder?
E: [Laughs] And Grindr. I also used to go to strip clubs.
From there, the conversation turned to other topics, the interviewer apparently missing the scoop Eminem had just delivered him. It was left to fans to ask: Was Eminem joking, or does the rapper - who's courted controversy for his use of homophobic language in the past - date dudes? on a few dates, but "nothing's panned out in a way I wanted to make public".
There's been a lot of great journalism in 2017, but the reported who didn't ask Eminem any followup questions about using Grindr has let down their entire profession https://t.co/sVTD6qr1lw
This Eminem using Grindr story reminds me of that scene in The Interview except this time the interviewer just didn’t follow up on it pic.twitter.com/qstMUWq6qN
So Eminem, the king of homophobic slurs, just casually (and, seemingly, seriously) drops that he’s used Grindr in this Vulture Q&A and the interviewer doesn’t ask him about it at all. In an interview that’s supposed to be about his growth, no less. https://t.co/ai6uWJBzuy
No confirmation from the man himself - or his interviewer - about whether the comment was meant in jest, but in the meantime... keep an eye out on the apps, guys and girls.
