Rapper Eminem has denied recent reports that claimed he was planning to retire from performing after his Slane concert in September.
The rapper told MTV News that he was taking a break to work on producing but hadn't decided yet what he would do after that.
"When I say I'm taking a break, I'm taking a break from my music to go in the studio and produce my other artists and put their albums out. That's called taking a break for me," he said.
"I never said (Encore) was my last album. I never said anything yet. I don't know what I'm doing yet," Eminem said.
"I know that I'm not gonna be rapping forever, I know that much," the rapper said. "As long as I feel like I got the energy in me to do it, and the spirit, and I can do it."
