Glee creator Ryan Murphy has revealed that he opted not to use one of Eminem's songs on the show due to the excessive fee demanded by the rapper.

According to NME, Eminem's record label asked for $200,000 for the use of one of his tracks in an upcoming episode of the series.

"We couldn't do it because the episode would've been so over-budget," Murphy said, after deciding to rework plans for the episode in question.

Earlier this week, Murphy engaged in a war of words with rock band Kings of Leon after they denied Murphy the use of their songs on the show.

Glee returns from its mid-season break in the US on February 6. The show continues in the UK on Mondays at 9pm on E4.
