PITTSBURGH, April 29 (UPI) -- Rapper Eminem's new freestyle song "Despicable" has a line that refers to rape allegations made against Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

Although no criminal charges were brought against the pro football player, the NFL suspended him for six games after a 20-year-old college student accused him of sexually assaulting her in a Milledgeville, Ga., nightclub.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said the topical line in Eminem's song goes: "(Expletive that,) I'd rather turn this club into a barroom brawl. Get as rowdy as Roethlisberger in a bathroom stall."

The song isn't expected to be included on the rapper's forthcoming album "Recovery," the newspaper said.
