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.
