Question

3. The rapper Eminem is well-known for his song writing ability, but he is equally known for his

shockingly profane and obscene lyrical content. Eminem has made a fortune selling his curse filled
songs to millions of children around the world. But, on a 60 Minutes interview, Eminem claimed that
there was no swearing in his own home and that his children were not allowed to play music with curse
words, including his own tracks.
Which type of irony is used?
Explain your answer.

Answer 1

I believe this would be called Situational Irony.

Step-by-step explanation:

My reasoning behind this is because you'd expect a famous rapper who's well known for using profane and vulgar words in songs to be okay with swearing songs being played in his home. It's what has created his reputation and what he manufactures/creates for a living.
