Eminem and Rihanna’s duets deal with heavy topics and a pretty intense romantic relationship. While the two artists have never been romantically linked in real life, that didn’t stop the “Slim Shady” rapper from trying to say they were. Refinery29 reported in 2018 that in Eminem’s song “Killshot” — which is a Machine Gun Kelly diss track — the “8 Mile” star used Rihanna as a hook. “Rihanna just hit me on a text / Last night I left hickeys on her neck,” his opening line says. It was in response to MGK’s diss line in the song “Rap Devil,” in which the Cleveland native called Eminem, “The type to be scared to ask Rihanna for her number.”

Eminem’s line about hickeys and Rihanna sparked a lot of ire from fans and people in the industry alike. “Rihanna’s running an empire. She’s not busy leaving hickeys on your neck,” DJ Samantha Ronson told TMZ, via The Cut. “Why do you have to bring Rihanna into this fight? … It’s just misogynistic and childish. You’re basically calling Rihanna a w**** so you can get back at Machine Gun Kelly … ” Just a year after that, an old recording of an unreleased Eminem song leaked where he took shots at Rihanna’s domestic violence situation. “Of course I side with Chris Brown / I’d beat a b**** down too,” he rapped according to Entertainment Weekly reported, via People.
