Eminem won the Grammy Sunday for Best Rap Album for The Marshall Mathers LP 2, beating out newcomers to cement his role as the most awarded and top-selling rapper ever.
With the win, Eminem has won a record six Grammys for Best Rap Album.
The Marshall Mathers LP 2 was his eighth studio album, and was considered a sequel to his largely autobiographical The Marshall Mathers LP from 2000, which remains the fastest-selling album by a solo artist in the United States.
Azalea hit back by charging that Eminem was old and could not think of anything new other than to threaten a young woman.

But Eminem also encountered further controversy on the album by using anti-gay slurs. Eminem had for years tried to battle accusations of homophobia, going so far as to perform at the 2001 Grammys in a duet with Elton John, who is gay.
