Lyrics caused a controversy
The song ‘Unaccommodating’ on the record brimmed a massive controversy in the world of music for its 'insensitive' lyrics that are, “but I'm contemplating yelling 'Bombs away' on the game / Like I'm outside of an Ariana Grande concert waiting". The number caused strong dissension among the fans online and Twitter had #EminemIsCancelled hashtag trending, but despite that, the album was near leading the race at the midweek stage.
Eminem's music composition eventually hit the victory as the best-selling that also topped the singles charts with the track Godzilla that featured the rapper Juice WRLD, real names Jarad A. Higgins, who died at the age of 21 in December 2019 having a seizure.
Eminem reportedly topped in the official UK Album chart in the year 2019 with his tenth studio album ‘Kamikaze’ that recorded the sales of 55.000 copies outstripping DLES’ album ‘Joy As An Act Of Resistance’. ‘Kamikaze’ was Eminem’s ninth consecutive chart smash hit making the album the fourth fastest-selling release 2018.
