Eminem and Joyner Lucas Song 'What If I Was Gay’ Leaks And Listeners Are Feeling Uncomfortable

A collaboration between Eminem and Joyner Lucas, a song called ‘What If I Was Gay’ has leaked online. This unintentional leak demo, never meant to be released, features Lucas playing a character questioning his sexuality, while Eminem plays a friend of Lucas’ character “voicing his worst homophobic feelings”, according to ‘Pop Culture’.

“But on the real, what if I told you that I was brave?" Lucas raps. "I grew up different than I was raised / But still, what if I told you I’m out of place? Wait / What if I told you that I was gay?” to which Eminem answers "What if I told you I’m homophobic?”

In a series of fast lines Eminem suggested that homosexuality is a "genetic flaw," that "it's repulsive" and that it is a "sin" for which Lucas needs to “repent.”

The confusion raises when later in the song Eminem makes his own confession.

“What if I'm a hypocrite who's afraid to just face the truth?" he rapped. "Wait, what if I told you I'm gay too?”

“The song already had listeners uncomfortable, as they felt Lucas was ill-equipped to speculate on the inner monologue of a gay character. Rolling Stone's Charles Holmes added that the beat "would have been left on (the Kanye West album) 808s & Heartbreak‘s cutting room floor,” according to the same article by ‘Pop Culture’.
