Surprising fans with a new album, Eminem, on Tuesday dropped a new LP, Music to be Murdered By. The project spans 20 tracks and with guest appearances by the late Juice WRLD, Royce da 5’9’’, Anderson . Paak, Ed Sheeran, Skylar Grey and more. Things, howver, went south for the rapper, when, on the track "Unaccomadating," which features Young M.A, Em, Eminem raps about the Manchester Arena bombing during the Ariana Grande concert in 2017 that killed 23 people.
"I'm contemplating yelling bombs away on the game like I’m outside an Ariana Grande concert,” Eminem raps in the song.
The line, obviously, was seen insensitive by Tweeple who tweeted that a rapper went a little too far.
‘Eminem lame for joking about the ariana grande concert bombing’ tweeted one user.
Another user calling the rapper, ‘trash’ tweeted,
eminem literally just made a joke about the manchester bombing at ariana grande’s concert... that is just so fucking sick, y’all better not give this man any attention. people literally lost their lives, and you’re going to release music and try to make a profit off of them? pic.twitter.com/mKJo06RL9p

“I’m contemplating yelling bombs away on the game like I’m outside an Ariana Grande concert.”
Eminem literally just used a horrific terrorist attack that killed 22 innocent adults/children for a punchline in a song.

"(TW) Eminem really said in his new song "unaccommodating" the lyrics "bombs away like I'm at an ariana grande concert" and proceeded after with gunshots/explosions mocking manchester.. i am disgusted how did he or his team think this was okay? he's trash," wrote one Twitter user.
"Eminem, no. Just no," began another. "Who do you think you are to release this song? What made it seem right to write a lyric like this about Manchester? You have no idea what Ariana Grande went through. I’m absolutely disgusted."
As for Ariana Grande, she said that has since the attack, she's coping with the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
"I don't like it. I know people are trying to take care of me but I want to escape with my friends and run around and be free’ Ariana said.
