An unreleased snippet of Eminem rapping about his support of Chris Brown popped up on Reddit over the weekend. Titled “(SNIPPET) Eminem – Things Get Worse (Rihanna Diss),” the brief clip finds Em rapping, “Of course I side with Chris Brown/I’d beat a bitch down too.”
This, of course, is in reference to Brown’s 2009 assault on his then-girlfriend Rihanna.
The snippet is allegedly a scrapped verse from Slim Shady’s 2009 Relapse sessions. Clearly, the verse in question didn’t make the album, but an alternate version of it appeared on B.o.B.’s 2011 track “Things Get Worse,” although neither RiRi or Brown are mentioned in the verse. Em, however, does name drop other celebrity women, including Jessica Simpson, Angelina Jolie and Dakota Fanning.
Eminem and the Barbadian superstar have collaborated numerous times on songs such as 2010’s “Love The Way You Lie,” 2012’s “Numb” and 2013’s “The Monster.”
Check out the snippet below.
