In 2017 on The Graham Norton Show, Sir Elton John revealed the erotic gift Eminem, who Elton John has remained friends with since they both performed a duet of Stan at the 2001 Grammy Awards got for him.
After five years of friendship Eminem gifted Elton John with a pair of diamond-encrusted sex toys in celebration of Elton’s civil partnership to David Furnish. At the time in 2001, Eminem was slammed over so-called ‘homophobic lyrics’ and was picketed by The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) outside the Staples centre, where that year’s ceremony was taking place.
‘He was accused of being homophobic by so many people because of his lyrics, which I thought was nonsense. I came out and supported the fact that he isn’t [homophobic] and I appeared on the Grammys with him, doing “Stan,”‘ revealed the music icon. ‘We became friends. We’ve been amazing friends ever since.
He’s an amazing guy. I interviewed him last week for a magazine. ‘I just adore him… When David [Furnish] and I did our civil partnership, I got this package from Eminem. It shows you how homophobic he isn’t! It had two diamond-encrusted cock rings on velvet cushions. ‘I have to say, they have remained unused!’
“Instead of Dido. I was the one who took the ‘L’ out of Dido!” Elton John jokes.
