Eminem has stated that he uses Grindr, the popular dating app for gay and bisexual men.
Following the release of his ninth studio album, Revival, the rapper spoke to Vulture about the record and also opened up about his love life.
“It’s tough. Since my divorce I’ve had a few dates and nothing’s panned out in a way that I wanted to make it public. Dating’s just not where I’m at lately,” he said before confirming he uses Tinder.
He then continued on to say “and Grindr. I also used to go to strip clubs… What can I say? Going to strip clubs is how I was meeting some chicks. It was an interesting time for me.”
In the wake of his comments, many fans have been questioning whether Eminem was joking or not with many voicing their opinions online. See some fans’ tweets below.
So Eminem is gay? That… fits. And I know all his fans heads have exploded which is great.

Now if Eminem is gay or bi I really don’t mind, like that’s his business but if he says all this things for attention I think he’s a fool for that.. you can’t just say some stuff because you seek attention
