Eminem surprise released an album called Music to Be Murdered By today, but not everyone is loving the new tunes — especially Ariana Grande fans.
 
On album track "Unaccommodating," Em makes light of the 2017 Manchester bombing that took place at a Grande concert. The attack killed 22 people, and Grande has been open about suffering from PTSD since.
 
On the new track (which features Young M.A), Eminem raps, "I'm contemplating yelling 'Bombs away' on the game / Like I'm outside of an Ariana Grande concert waiting."
 
Understandably, Arianators have condemned the rapper and taken to Twitter to let their anger be heard. See some of their reactions below.
 
Beyond that, stream the song that started all the controversy.
 
Grande has yet to comment on the track, though she did speak out when her former fiancée Pete Davidson made a joke about the bombing during a stand-up set in 2018.
 
At the time, she said, "this has been v tough & conflicting on my heart. he uses comedy to help ppl feel better ab how f-ed up things in this world are. we all deal w trauma differently. I of course didn't find it funny. it was months ago & his intention wasn't/ is never malicious but it was unfortunate."
