Eminem Banned from Hyde Park for Lyrical Content (@Eminem)



According to The Daily Mirror, Eminem was banned from performing at the British Summer Time Festival in London's Hyde Park because of the lyrics in his music. Although the the ban happened back in May, the reason for Em being banned is just now starting to be brought to light.


Read what Royal Parks CEO Linda Lennon had to say about why Eminem was not allowed to perform at Hyde Park:


"This artist flagged risks across the board. In particular in respect of our public reputation. The nature of any act with potential for lyrics to be deemed offensive and/or unsuitable language being audible within the park as a whole, let alone the surrounding residential areas, is unacceptable.


Lucky for Em, the rejection wasn't all bad; because he won't be playing at Hyde Park, Em will perform at Wembley Stadium on July 11th and 12th. Danny Brown and Odd Future will also be performing at the show.
