Eminem, who has 20 million Twitter followers, reportedly also gave an undisclosed donation personally.
The Manchester City Council replied to the tweet, thanking the controversial performer for his support.
Actor Tom Hardy also launched a JustGiving page to raise money for the victims of the suicide bombing attack, which he called "cruel, cowardly and barbaric".

In a lengthy, heartfelt post, Hardy urged urges fans to donate "as a gesture of goodwill and love" following the "inconceivable atrocity" that took place at Manchester Arena.
"I hope between us we can raise some funds as a gesture of goodwill and love to help in some small way towards repairing some if any of the damage done in the wake of last night's events," Hardy said.
As donations soared, he uploaded an emoji-decorated picture with his dog thanking fans for their support.
