In his latest album, Eminem takes no prisoners, delivering one of the hardest-hitting and most controversial tracks of his career.
The track, which has quickly become the most talked-about on the album, sees Eminem addressing sexual assault allegations that have been leveled against Diddy. Eminem, never one to shy away from controversy, uses his lyrical prowess to call out Diddy in a way that only he can – with brutal honesty and razor-sharp wordplay. This latest release is part of a wave of new releases that are shaking up the industry this year.
But, there’s more cuz Eminem doesn’t stop at Diddy!
He also throws shade at other prominent figures in the hip-hop world, including Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar.

Some industry insiders are speculating about the potential legal repercussions and the impact this track could have on both Eminem’s and Diddy’s careers.
