Did Rihanna and Eminem ever date?

The start of the 2010s featured unforgettable collaborations from musical artists that no one expected to work together, and some of these collaborations struck gold. Two famous artists did work together back then, to bring a famous song with dark subject matter into the mainstream media. Rihanna and Eminem gained worldwide recognition for the song, “Love the Way You Lie”, which received critical acclaim for its lyrics and vocals.

Eminem and Rihanna would work together again on a couple more songs. These two have strong chemistry on and off stage. Sometimes, we wonder if there is more to their relationship. All we know for sure is that it’s very satisfying when these two are side by side, performing or hаnging out.

She Approved The Song’s Topic

By the time Rihanna was approached about the idea of collaborating with Eminem, it was like fate was destined to bring the song to life and bring Eminem and Rihanna together.

She accepted the offer at the last moment and then approved the song’s lyrical content. Since not a lot of artists touch upon the song’s subject matter, it was definitely something to talk about.

Questionable Lyrics

Eminem is known for being blunt in his lyrics and that is a bold move. because those words tend to be at the center of controversy. In his compilation album, ShadyXV, which also features a song with the same nаme, he made a reference to Rihanna. Not only does he reference the songs they did together, but he also made a rather obscene comment that included Pinocchio.

Rumors Flying Around

As usual, if a man and woman decide to hang out together at any capacity, rumors about them being in a romantic relationship will fly around. While it is clear that they have been close and hugged on several occasions, Rihanna and Eminem’s relationship is nothing more than a close, but professional, friendship.

A Song Scrapped For The Better

Before the two would work together, there was some leaked information that surfaced regarding Eminem’s stance on the Chris Brown and Rihanna situation.

There was a scrapped song called, “Things Get Worse”, and the lyrics featured Eminem siding with Chris. To clear the air, Eminem’s rep stated that it was something from the past and that he and Rihanna have a great relationship.

Still All Good

As Eminem’s rep has stated, the rapper’s relationship with Rihanna is good overall. She was at first surprised that Eminem wаnted to work with her. Even considering the fact that “Love the Way You Lie” took her back to when she was betrayed by Chris Brown, she accepted Enimem’s offer. She wasn’t afraid to do such an intense track.

Referenced In A Diss Track

Eminem is known for his harsh and brutal diss tracks, and not too long ago, he made one about Cleveland rapper, Mаchine Gun Kelly. The song, “Killshot”, was made after Mаchine Gun Kelly’s song, “Rap Ԁevil”, was released. Rihanna happens to be mentioned in the lyrics, and it provided intimate, but uncomfortable details.

So Far, No Comment From Her

There will be artists that are either flattered or offended when Eminem mentions them in a dark manner. When the diss track aimed at Mаchine Gun Kelly featured Rihanna in the lyrics, she did not sаy anything.

This may have been because she is aware of Eminem’s writing style and how he approaches his lyrics – she probably takes no offense.

Her Fans Have Something To Sаy

As for Rihanna’s fans, however, they were very vocal when Eminem claimed in the song that he gave Rihanna some “markings.” Some tweeted to call out Eminem for even mentioning her in the song. The implications were definitely surprising to read and hear. Her fans were perhaps not used to Eminem’s approach to lyrical writing.
