Eminem Faces Backlash For Gunshot Sound Effect At Bonnaroo 2018

Manchester, TN – Eminem is no stranger to controversy, but this time, it has nothing to do with the content of his lyrics.

Slim Shady has come under scrutiny for using a gunshot sound effect during his set at the 2018 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival on Saturday (June 9). The rap superstar used the sound effect multiple times in his performance, which scared some concertgoers in light of the frequency of mass shootings in the United States.

Disappointed in @Bonnaroo for allowing gun shots in @Eminem’s set. So much for #radiatepositivity. #GunControl #PTSDawareness pic.twitter.com/UsKpCWLX9o

Multiple Twitter users expressed their outrage and disappointment over Eminem’s performance. Some attendees said they left the festival due to his use of the sound effect.

Honestly, fuck Eminem. Added gunshots to his set. Had to leave. So disgusting and distasteful. Shame on you.

Worst decision ever to ask @Eminem to play, @bonnaroo. My night was awesome but now I’m in absolute tears and shaking because I thought the multiple gunshots from his performance from across Centeroo were real. This is not OK.

Others on Twitter defended Eminem, noting that has been using the gunshot sound effect for years. Slim Shady has even used it this year without facing such backlash.

The Kill you outro Gunshot has been part of The Eminem live shows since 2001. Why all of a sudden is Tennessee getting all cut up about it? The millions of people who have seen Em do it haven’t had a problem. You don’t deserve Eminem ffs.

It’s not Eminem’s fault that it’s now normalized to be afraid going to a concert. Guns are allowed in the US. And Americans glorify them. Maybe y’all should worry about that instead of a fake gun shot.

You claim to have grown up loving eminem and his music girl and yet you complain abt it now after years of hearing one of his oldest songs that has a gunshot effects on it ??? https://t.co/hJbGBHBPbP

I don’t really see why people are freaking out about this gunshot sound effect in Eminem’s Bonnaroo performance. I mean, if you didn’t expect it, I could understand your body jumping a bit from surprise. But, to give him crap for doing a performance the way he has many times…

Eminem hasn’t publicly commented on the matter at this time.
