Liam Fray criticises Eminem for Manchester Arena bombing rap

Eminem’s controversial lyrics about bombing at Ariana Grande‘s Manchester concert back in 2017 has been giving rapper a lot of backlashes and Liam Fray, frontman of rock band Courteeners, recently claimed that American rapper has 'crossed a line'.

Eminem released Music To Be Murdered By last week and soon after it caused an instant furore on social media. While speaking to an international media outlet, Fray said, "It all just felt like an old comedian who can't get on telly any more just saying something outrous."

Manchester mayor Andy Burnham also reportedly said that lyrics were 'unnecessarily hurtful' and 'deeply disrespectful' to families and all those affected.

In song, Eminem has a line which stated, “But I’m contemplating yelling ‘Bombs away’ on game/Like I’m outside of an Ariana Grande concert waiting”. It is clearly a reference to tragic incidents that happened at pop singer’s show and it is shocking to see Eminem taking such references to express what he wants to say.
