Eminem denies rumours

Eminem denies retirement rumour

Eminem has publicly denied claims he is preparing to retire as a rapper.

A newspaper in his native Detroit said he was going to concentrate on producing after his current world tour.

It was suggested that Eminem's show at Slane Castle, Ireland on September 17 would be his last.

However Eminem ridiculed the story during a gig at Washington's White River Amphitheatre.

'How many of you all read the tabloids? Cause there's some sh*t goin' around that I'm retiring,' he told the crowd.

He noted that the story ran next to an article about the moon exploding and added: 'I'm retiring? Then I guess the moon just blew up', before mooning the crowd.
