Royce Da 5’9 has said people shouldn’t take Eminem‘s diss of Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber in their new song seriously.
The track, entitled ‘A Kiss’, which also pokes fun at Katy Perry, features on the rapper’s new release, ‘Hell: The Sequel’.
“Eminem has a great sense of humour. He’s been doing that type of thing his whole career. It’s one of the things that makes him great,” said the controversial star’s co-conspirator on this latest project.
“I laughed when I heard it and told him he was crazy. I definitely don’t think anyone should take it as an insult.”
Royce Da 5’9” also cheekily claimed that the Detroit rappers’ new album, released today under the moniker Bad Meets Evil, was “God’s work”.
The pair first worked together in the late 90s but later fell out. They only reconnected after their mutual friend Proof was tragically shot dead in 2006. After feuding with his former group D12 for years the beef was finally put to bed with the release in 2008 of mixtape “Return Of the Dozen” by the group including Royce .
Since then the Detroit native has been closely associated with his former cohort and as well as writing for the likes of Dr Dre and P Diddy the two have been working on this new project for sometime, ultimately culminating in today’s release of an album which has already made headlines both sides of the Atlantic.
