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

They worked together on the 2010 hit Love the Way You Lie.

Eminem also apologized to Rihanna for a version of Chris Brown in an old song, after releasing a new surprise 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 again / And with all my heart, sorry, Rihanna,” he sang. “For the song that flowed, I’m sorry, Ri / It wasn’t meant to hurt you.

“Either way, it was wrong of me.”

Almost a decade ago, the artist – who is completely called Marshall Mathers – created a song with lyrics with Chris Brown.

Brown attacked Rihanna after a pre-Grammy party in 2009, where she later pleaded guilty to assault charges and officially ended probation in March 2015.

Dennis Dennehy, Eminem’s spokesman, said in response to the leaked lyrics at the time: “This is a leak of something over 10 years old. After Eminem recorded it, he abandoned it and rewrote it. Obviously, he and Rihanna have an excellent relationship. ‘

Eminem and Rihanna worked together on the massive hit Love the Way You Lie from their seventh studio album, Recovery.

The song – which had a theme around domestic violence – has sold over 12 million copies and won five Grammy nominations.

In his latest catalog, following the release of version A in January, the Detroit-born musician recognizes the Black Lives Matter movement that fights for equality, while MAGA rallies fight for salon services.

“This pandemic has brought us into a recession. We need to reopen America / Blacks who are dying, they want equal rights, white people want to get their hair cut.”
