Eminem made a surprise appearance at the 92nd Annual Academy Awards on Sunday night (February 9) where he performed his Oscar-winning song “Lose Yourself.”
Sir Elton John, who also collected a gilded trophy in the Best Original Song category for “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again” from the film Rocketman, reconnected with Shady backstage. Subsequently, Em decided to share the moment with his 22.9 million Twitter followers.
“I got to see my Uncle Elton tonight at the Oscars,” he captioned a photo of himself and the music icon. “Congrats on your win too, Sir! @eltonofficial.”
Following the backlash for Eminem’s perceived homophobia, John and Eminem performed “Stan” together at the Grammys in 2001 to everyone’s surprise.
John has also been instrumental in Em’s journey to sobriety. In a 2009 interview, Em revealed he contacted John for advice when he initially wanted to get sober.
Several years later, John interviewed Shady for Interview magazine. During their conversation, Em mentioned he started using right around the time of their aforementioned duet but now had nine years clean.
“Your sobriety day is in my diary,” John told him. “I’m so proud of you. I’m 27 years clean, and when you get clean, you see things in a different way. It makes your life so much more manageable. It seems to have made all the difference — I can tell when I speak to you.”
Em replied, “Getting clean made me grow up. I feel like all the years that I was using, I wasn’t growing as a person.”
Following a near-fatal overdose in 2007, the Detroit-bred rap god ultimately decided to get clean on April 20, 2008. He will celebrate 12 years clean in April of this year.
Ah Eminem is back on his gay shit again
I bet Elton pulled strings and got Em this appearance … Em is so lame..
Em is so desperate he’s reaching for the gay demographic.. he’s now dating Elton John .. Trying to take the lane created by Frank Ocean, Tyler the creator and LIL Nas.. Next thing you know he will be trying to hook up with Jayden Smith… ( DONT forget that gift he gave Elton) .., #speaksvolumes
He saved his life and was his sponsor. How stupid are you?

LMAO “now he’s dating Elton John” that shit was funny 🙂 (but also very true i’m afraid)
eminem used to rap about all these fakkets. Now he is one. How pathetic. The fact that you stans still support him after he changed into who he made fun of before is pathetic. Pure sell out trash.
LOL… you guys hate seeing other people mature! Em knows his time is past, and he really doesnt need to prove anything, yet all you keyboard warriors are stuck in 1999.
Dont you guys need to serve fries or something!
My husband and I love having this little hippity hoppiting white boy round for a threesome… We always bust out the diamond cock rings that he bought us and have a right old time sucking the spunk out of each other’s arses!!!
Did Em and Elton exchange c.0ck rings on stage?
And for no reason at all….here’s Feminem to “rap” to a bunch of dimwits so they can pretend to know his music. Looks like Fem is now doing talent shows at the elite senior center.
