Eminem banned from U.K due to offensive "Lyrics"

Eminem was banned from playing a day festival in Hyde park due to his lyrics being deemed "offensive" and "unsuitable".

In an email, Royal Parks CEO Linda Lennon said: "This artist flagged risks across the board. In particular respect of our public reputation. They said in a statement that any act with potential for lyrics to be deemed offensive and unsuitable language being audible within the park as a whole, let alone the surrounding residential areas is highly  unacceptable.

London Mayor Boris Johnson was reportedly asked to overturn the decision, but his office admitted they had no idea who the rapper was and refused to get involved, saying it wasn't their decision to make.

The rapper said " I don't want to split hairs but I do question how easy it is for any offensive lyrics to be heard and actually understood outside for our event site", adding he was not "aware of any other case whereby he has been prevented from performing in the UK".
