The song “What If I Was Gay” leaked online on Halloween, days after a snippet surfaced in online forums. Eminem apologizes for his harsh words, prays to God for forgiveness, reveals his own internal struggle with sexuality, and then closes with another question asked to the friend who can no longer hear him: “What if I told you I’m gay too?” A lifetime of enduring homophobia results in Lucas’s character dying by suicide. Meanwhile, Eminem initially starts out his lyrics as the straight person who believes being gay is a “disease.” According to him a gay man would be straight if he tried having sex with a woman or got a girlfriend, among many other missives that assume being gay is abnormal and unwanted. Lucas raps from the perspective of someone who keeps their sexuality hidden because they’re afraid of the “eternal damnation” preached by faith-based bigots, and want to be themselves in public but fear being abandoned by the people they love.

The pair have bonded since childhood, talked about women, and the things that purportedly “made them boys.” On “ What If I Was Gay,” Lucas plays the character of a closeted gay man addressing his close friend, who is apparently homophobic. Eminem’s career is littered with tracks and music videos that diss and denigrate LGBTQ+ people.īut now, on a newly leaked collaboration with rapper Joyner Lucas, they ask whether or not two grown men could remain friends, should one of them reveal that he’s not straight.
