Eminent says he's gay in an interview

The rapper, who has been accused of homophobia, comes out of the closet for a cameo in the

controversial Seth Rogen and James Franco film.

“When I say things about gay people, or people think my lyrics are homophobic – it’s because I’m gay,” Eminem deadpans in the movie.”I like men.”

During a scene where he is interviewed by Franco’s character, the Eight Mile star says, “I’m more shocked that people haven’t figured it out yet. I mean, it’s kind of like I’ve been playing gay peek-a-boo.”
