Eminem Criticised Over Lyrics Alluding To Ariana Grande & Manchester Bombing

Eminem felt the wrath of Ariana Grande fans on Friday after releasing his surprise album, Music To Be Murdered By. The Alfred Hitchcock-themed project includes a collaboration with Young M.A. called ‘Unaccommodating,’ which finds the Detroit rapper referencing the suicide bombing at Ariana Grande’s 2017 Manchester Arena concert.

“But it seems like the more they studied my music, the more they remind me of eyeballs/ I’m watching my pupils get cornier/ But I’m contemplating yelling ‘Bombs away’ on the game/ Like I’m outside of an Ariana Grande concert waiting,” he raps.

This is so messed up! Many people (mostly children) were injured at this concert and some even lost their lives, and he thinks it’s ok to put this lyric in a song? @Eminem maybe try and have a little respect, and don’t use a terrorist attack to gain clout https://t.co/tnPLNxY8dD

The United Kingdom bombing was ruled a terrorist attack and killed 23 people, injuring 139 others. Grande and other attendees have since said they’ve experienced psychological trauma since the bombing.
