Eminem apologizes to Rihanna for Chris Brown’s lyrics in an old leaked song

They collaborated on the 2010 hit Love the Way You Lie.

And Eminem apologized to Rihanna for some Chris Brown lyrics in an old leaked song after releasing a surprising new album at midnight on Thursday.

In the song Zeus from his new catalog, Music To Be Murdered By – Side B, the 48-year-old rapper tried to correct his own mistakes with the note.

“But I, as long as I promise to be honest / And wholeheartedly, Rihanna,” he sang. “For that song that got out, I’m sorry, Ri / It wasn’t meant to cause you grief.

“Anyway, I was wrong.”

Nearly a decade ago, the artist – whose full name is Marshall Mathers – created a song with the lyrics alongside Chris Brown.

Brown infamously attacked Rihanna after a pre-Grammy party in 2009, where he later pleaded guilty to felony charges and formally completed his probation in March 2015.

Dennis Dennehy, Eminem’s spokesman, said at the time in response to the leaked texts: ‘This is a leak from something that is more than 10 years old. After Eminem recorded it, he deleted it and rewrite it. He and Rihanna clearly have a great relationship. ‘

Eminem and Rihanna collaborated on the hugely successful hit Love the Way You Lie from his seventh studio album, Recovery.

The song – themed around domestic violence – sold more than 12 million copies and earned five Grammy nominations.

In his latest catalog, a follow-up to its A-side release in January, the Detroit-born musician recognizes the Black Lives Matter movement fighting for equality as MAGA rallies fight for salon services.

“This pandemic has put us in recession, we need to reopen America / black people who are dying, they want equal rights, whites want haircuts.”
