In 2001, Eminem was facing backlash and scrutiny over his lyrics with many accusing him of being homophobic. Eminem shot those accusations down when he decided to perform his hit song "Stan", with legendary artist, Elton John, an openly gay singer. Not only did Elton John defend Eminem from the harsh accusations, he has also helped Eminem through some of his darkest days when he was struggling with substance use and addiction. The two remain great friends to this day. | 90s.nostalgia4millennials
