Eminem is slated to perform in London’s Wembley Stadium, but the Detroit, Michigan rapper is not scheduled to perform at Hyde Park in England. A source recently told The Mirror why the Hyde Park performance is not set to be part of the emcee’s itinerary. 

“Eminem is a controversial artist, whose lyrics have been accused of being homophobic, provocative and pretty sweary,” the source said. “So there has been some debate about whether The Royal Parks will rubber-stamp any agreement to play there.

“He’s a huge name, and would be a great draw for fans, but it may not be the right image for the parks if he’s effing and blinding on stage,” the source added.
