Eminem mocks Caitlyn Jenner in new rap
By Will Stroude
Eminem has mocked Caitlyn Jenner in a freestyle rap he performed on-air for a US radio station.
The 42-year-old rapper, who has a history of using homophobic language in his lyrics, name-checked a series of star in the six-minute rap for the Sway radio programme, the London Evening Standard reports.
Taking aim at Caitlyn Jenner, who came out publicly as transgender earlier this year, the 8 Mile star rapped: “Heat seeking missile duck, demented sick see who gives a fuck. I invented prick, and this a true statement, I see the bitch in you, Caitlyn.
“I keep the pistol tucked like Bruce Jenner’s dick. No disrespect though not at all, no pun intended that took a lot of balls.”
Eminem – real name Marshall Mathers – told radio station hosts afterward that any personal jibes he made were “all in fun”.
“The rhyme by the way, it’s all in fun. I just say shit to say it. I don’t even know if there’s anything.
“It’s very rarely, very rarely personal. Put it this way, if it was ever personal, someone would know it.”
Just last week, Jenner made an impassioned speech while accepting an Arthur Ashe Courage Award following her decision to come out. Taking to the stage, the 65-year-old Olympian and reality star said: “If you want to call me names … go ahead, I can take it. But for the thousands of kids out there coming to terms with who they are, they shouldn’t have to take it.”
Listen to the full rap below. The comments about Caitlyn Jenner comes just after the 4.30 mark.
