Eminem claims that he’s been using Grindr to find love

Eminiem has claimed he uses Grindr to find love.
The rapper, who has previous been divorced twice, has insisted that he’s not given up on the idea of finding love in the future despite his relationship track record.
In an interview with Vulture, the star revealed that he’s been using apps to find a partner following years of attending strip clubs.
“Well, yeah. Yeah Tinder. And Grindr. I also used to go to strip clubs,” he said.
He continued: “What can I say? Going to strip clubs is how I was meeting some chicks. It was an interesting time for me.
“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. Am I lonely? No, I’m good. Thanks for asking though.”
Eminem has been slammed in the past over his mysoginistic and homophobic lyrics.
However, the 8 Mile star insisted that claims he’s anti-gay have been blown out of proportion in the past.
He added: “The honest-to-God truth is that none of that matters to me: I have no issue with someone’s sexuality, religion, race, none of that. Anyone who’s followed my music knows I’m against bullies — that’s why I hate that fucking bully Trump — and I hate the idea that a kid who’s gay might get shit for it.
Gay icon Elton John jumped to the rapper’s defence previously, insisting that he never saw his collaborator as homophobic.
“For me, Eminem was never homophobic,” he said. “I listened to the whole of the ‘Marshall Mathers’ album when I drove to a show in South Hampton and I was floored by it. And I thought how could anyone think this is… he’s just writing about the way things are.
“Not how he thinks, but the way things are.”
