Eminem has just gone and released an 11 minute rap where he freestyles about Ariana Grande and the Manchester Arena bombing.

In the video shared by the star on Twitter, he revealed that there was no holding back in the track as he wanted a reaction.

Dressed in a white hoodie and blue denim jeans, the 46-year-old bobs in front of the camera as he spits political lines at the screen.

Not only does he rip into Christina Aguilera, name drop Justin Bieber and Reese Witherspoon, Eminem then proceeds to address the Manchester bombing.

He chants: Like an Islamic regime, a jihadist extreme radical / Suicide bomber thats seeing / Ariana Grande sing her last song of the evening.

He added: Im not gonna finish that for obvious reasons.

Writing to his 22.4million followers, he revealed his inspiration for the track and why he decided to just drop the lengthy rap – with no warning

The star said: The release of BODIED has me feeling nostalgic about battle rap so I headed down to my old stomping grounds.

Ariana has recently expressed her devastation surrounding the attack in an open letter to her fans.

In her YouTube series, Dangerous Woman Diaries, the The No More Tears Left To Cry songstress displays a letter addressing the horrific incident which took place in May 2017.

The letter reads: Im writing to you this February, 22 2018. Its been eight months since the attack at our show at the Manchester Arena.

Its impossible to know where to start or to know what to say about this part. May 22, 2017, will leave me speechless and filled with questions for the rest of my life.

It continues: The spirit of the people of Manchester, the families affected by this horrendous tragedy, and my fans around the world have permanently impacted all of us for the rest of our lives.

Their love, strength, and unity showed me, my team, my dancers, band, and entire crew not to be defeated. To continue during the scariest and saddest of times. To not let hate win.

But instead, love as loudly as possible, and to appreciate every moment. The people of Manchester were able to change an event that portrayed the worst of humanity into one that portrayed the most beautiful of humanity. “Like a handprint on my heart” … I think of Manchester constantly and will carry this with me every day for the rest of my life.
