Eminem criticized for rap about Manchester

Eminem has been called "disgusting" and "pathetic" after rapping about the Manchester Arena bomb attack, which killed 22 people in 2017, BBC News reported.

The lyric comes in a new song, Unaccommodating, in which the star boasts about his impact on hip-hop.

At one point, the singer says: "I'm contemplating yelling 'bombs away' on the game / Like I'm outside of an Ariana Grande concert waiting."

Figen Murray, whose son died in the attack, called the song "pointless".

like he is piggybacking on the fame of Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber and says distasteful things about other celebrities," she wrote on Twitter.

"Not clever. Totally pointless. And before all Eminem fans pounce on me, I am not interested and will not engage."

Murray's 29-year-old son, Martyn Hett, was one of the 22 people who died when Salman Abedi blew himself up at the end of Ariana Grande's concert in May 2017.

She has since campaigned for the introduction of Martyn's Law, which would require venues to introduce more stringent security checks.
