Eminem has a likeness for gaming, but it’s an odd one to say the least. That’s what his close friend and musical artist, Denaun Porter, once revealed during a livestream session. And it seems like if there’s one thing about video games that Eminem doesn’t like, it’s the modern consoles like PlayStation 5 and even latest titles themselves.

Now Denaun was once doing a livestream on Twitch and YouTube simultaneously. And as expected, most of the questions he was receiving in the comments section were generally related with video games.

In between the stream, Mr. Porter got a question from a fan who wanted to know if he and Eminem play together.

Well, the answer to this question wasn’t that surprising, especially for anyone who’s vary of Eminem’s interests.

“Only one game I might play with Em if we are playing Pac-Man every blue moon. But he played that s**t too good.”

So basically Mr. Porter said that Eminem is good at gaming when it comes to titles such as Pac-Man. However, when asked about when the artist could be seen playing a modern game, Porter replied:

“First of all, he don’t, he don’t even know how to play a PlayStation or turn it on. He don’t even know how to turn the PlayStation up. If it’s an Atari – yeah.”

Simply put, Eminem is not comfortable with any modern game or even console like a PlayStation 5 or any other device. He’s a true retro gamer and is highly competitive when it comes to the classics. But if it’s something like Call of Duty on a latest product, the rapper may not have a smooth time going through the levels.
