Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to spend a night with Eminem get on a dating app - but it might not be the one you think.

While it's well-known the 'Kill You' rapper is divorced from Kim Scott, mother to his daughter Hailie, little else has been said about his dating life.

But in a new interview with Vulture, Eminem opened up.  

"Since my divorce, I've had a few dates and nothing's panned out in a way that I wanted to make it public. Dating's just not where I'm at lately," said the 45-year-old rapper.

When asked if he uses any dating apps, Eminem responded, "Yeah, Tinder. And Grindr. I also used to go to strip clubs."

Fans were left very confused by that surprising revelation, given Grindr is the app used predominantly for gay men to meet and hook up.

Many questioned why the interviewer didn't follow up with some more questions about the rapper's dating life.

If it was a joke, it's not the first time Eminem has poked fun at his homophobic reputation.

During an appearance on the Graham Norton Show earlier this month, Elton John revealed Eminem sent he and partner David Furnish "two diamond-entrusted c**k rings, on velvet cushions" on the day of their 2006 civil union.

John also defended the claims of homophobia against the rapper in the past.

"He was accused of being homophobic by so many people because of his lyrics, which I thought was nonsense," John said.

"I came out and supported the fact that he isn't and I appeared on the Grammys with him, doing 'Stan'.

"We became friends. We've been amazing friends ever since. He's an amazing guy. I interviewed him last week for a magazine," he continued.
