Oddball rocker Marilyn Manson, reportedly turned down the chance to duet with rapper Eminem on one of his first hits – because he felt the song was too “misogynistic”.

The ‘Tainted Love’ singer reveals that Eminem had previously approached him with a view to collaborating on a tune, in which he boasts about killing his girlfriend.

Manson tells Spin magazine, “He asked me to sing on his first record, and I would have, except that the song he asked me to sing was… too misogynistic.

“It was the one about killing his girlfriend and putting her in a trunk. It was on a record I could listen to, but it was too over-the-top for me to associate with. It didn’t represent where I was at.

“First of all, I don’t drive. And I wouldn’t put a girl in a trunk; that’s where I keep other stuff.”
