JUST days after he said he wanted to punch Lana Del Rey “in the face twice like Ray Rice,” controversial rapper Eminem, 42, has drawn criticism for lyrics about wanting to rape Iggy Azalea, reports E! News.
In a vile one-minute preview of Vegas, a song believed to be on his upcoming album, released on Wednesday, the MC makes fun of the Australian artist’s famous rear end, then raps about dragging her by an SUV before raping her.
The lyrics in question (via Genius):
So what’s it gon’ be? Put that s*** away Iggy/
You don’t wanna blow that rape whistle on me/
(Scream!) I love it/
‘Fore I get lost with the gettin’ off’

The preview follows last week’s release of SHADY CXVPHER, a 17-minute-long freestyle in which he rapped: “Play nice, b****, I punch Lana Del Rey right/In the face twice like Ray Rice in broad daylight.”
Fantasising about committing violent acts against female celebrities in his music is nothing new for the well-past-his-prime rapper.

Amy Winehouse, Kim Kardashian and Christina Aguilera have all been victims of Eminem’s inexplicable vitriol in the past.
Azalea chose to answer the rapper with simple and direct tweets, making it clear how she saw the situation:
im bored of the old men threatening young women as entertainment trend and much more interested in the young women getting $ trend. zzzz
