Eminem has come out and said that he was involved with the Bruno-arse-face stunt at the Brit Awards. The rapper said to RapRadar:
‘I’m thrilled that we pulled this off better than we rehearsed it. It had so many people going ‘nuts’ so to speak*. Everyone was blowing me up about it.’
The rapper then said that Cohen called him up when they were both in Europe with an idea and, being a big fan of Cohen, agreed to go along with it.
‘After the ceremony I went back to my hotel and laughed uncontrollably for about three hours,” he adds. “Especially after I saw it on air.’
We don’t know, it seems a bit fishy. This does, however, have an up-side: Either Eminem was attacked by Cohen’s arse unknowingly or he helped orchestrate having his arse in Cohen’s face. We get to laugh at him, either way.
*Apparently, Eminem thought he needed to clarify that he didn’t mean people were turning into brazil nuts.
