Elton John Reveals The Bizarre X-Rated Wedding Gift He Received From Eminem

Elton John talks about the X Rated Gift from Eminem in a new interview on Graham Norton Show

Are Elton John and Eminem friends? Elton John and Eminem have been friends since 2001 when they performed the song “Stan” at the Grammy awards. It was aimed to prove that Eminem was not a homophobe despite criticism of gay slurs used in his lyrics. He even helped the Detroit rapper in his battle to quit drugs. Elton John recently stopped by the Graham Norton Show for an exclusive interview.

He was accused of being homophobic by so many people because of his lyrics, which I thought was nonsense,” Elton John talks on the reaction to Eminem’s album MMLP. “I Came out and supported the fact that he isn’t and I appeared on the Grammys with him, doing ‘Stan’. We’ve been friends ever since. He’s an amazing guy. I interviewed him last week for a magazine. I just adore him.

“We were debating on whether I was going to perform the Grammys or not,” he told MTV News in 2004. “I was like, ‘The only way I’ll perform at the Grammys is with Elton John.’ And I was saying it in kind of jest, thinking it would never happen.”

After John discussed his early 2000s support for Eminem and how the Shady Records CEO was not homophobic, Norton asked if it was okay to expose a quite unexpected item the iconic singer received from the rap artist. John launched right into the story, telling how he and his husband, David Furnish, came into possession of an expensive s*x toy.

Elton continues talks about Eminem and revealed the bizarre gift he received from Eminem after his civil partnership with David Furnish in 2006. “From my marriage… When David and I did our civil partnership, I got this package from Eminem,” he recalled. “It shows you how homophobic he isn’t. It had two diamond-encrusted c*ck rings on velvet cushions.” He then added: “And I have to say, they have remained unused.” Sir Elton John and his husband David Furnish have kept the diamond-encrusted c*ck rings Eminem gave them as a wedding gift.

The anecdote, predictably, elicited a lot of laughs from the other guests and studio audience. Eminem, on the other hand, is presently working on his highly anticipated Revival album. The new album is set to be released on December 15th.

Seems like Elton had repaid Eminem earlier than he received the gift by saving his life! How did Elton John saved Eminem’s life? Eminem slipped off the road several times and even had a life-threatening overdose before Elton came into his life as his sober mentor. The ‘Rocket Man’ singer allegedly assisted in shifting the rapper’s life away from drug addiction and toward addiction to writing. Eminem committed his life to learning everything he could about serial murderers before releasing his 2009 album ‘Relapse.’
