Eminem apologizes to Rihanna on new song ‘Zeus’ amid controversy

Eminem is apologizing to Rihanna, his former collaboration, via his new album.

The 48-year-old Slim Shady unexpectedly released his new album “Music to Be Murdered By—Side B” on Friday.

He utilizes the song “Zeus” to make amends for backing Chris Brown in lyrics that surfaced in 2019.

Eminem raps on “Zeus,” saying, “But, me, long as I re-promise to be honest / And wholeheartedly, apologies, Rihanna.” “I apologize to Ri for the music leak; it wasn’t intended to upset you. In any case, I was wrong to do it.

After Brown assaulted 32-year-old Rihanna in 2009, Eminem rapped, “Of course I side with Chris Brown / I’d beat a bitch down too,” in the song that was released.

The songs “Love the Way You Lie” (2010), “Numb” (2012), and “The Monster” (2013) were all co-written by Eminem and Rihanna. In 2014, they embarked on a joint tour. According to reports, the song with the thought-provoking lyrics was produced during sessions for his 2009 album “Relapse.”

Following the assault, Brown, 31, was placed on probation for almost five years and ordered to do 1,000 hours of community service. In 2012, he and Rihanna made up and got back together romantically, although they broke up again in 2013.
