The new lyrics make a reference to ongoing allegations against Sean Diddy Combs
Eminem has published a new song including a thinly-veiled jab at Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
Combs is currently facing allegations from his ex Ventura after she filed a lawsuit in Federal District Court in Manhattan
In the suit, she alleged that Combs ‘frequently beat’ her during their on-off around 10-year relationship.
The allegations against Combs were alluded to in Eminem’s new lyrics.
A fan posted them to Twitter, writing: “Eminem really just dropped the HARDEST Diddy Diss bar we’ve possibly ever heard….”
They added: “Layers on layers.
“I wanna see these other rappers to match this Diddy Diss.”
The lyrics make a thinly-veiled allusion to the allegations Combs is facing.
They feature in Eminem’s track Fuel, which is the ninth track on his album The Death of Slim Shady.
So what do they say?

The lyrics say: “I’m like a R-A-P-E-R (yeah), Got so many S-As (S-As), S-As, (huh).
“Wait, he didn’t just spell the word, “Rapper” and leave out a P, did he? (Yep).”
Anyone who has been on TikTok for any amount of time will know that ‘S-A’ stands for ‘Sexual Assault’.
The abbreviation is used as a way to talk about the subject without being penalised by the app’s algorithm.
In her lawsuit, Ventura claimed that Combs was a ‘serial domestic abuser, who would regularly beat and kick Ms Ventura, leaving black eyes, bruises, and blood’.
In a statement, she said: “After years in silence and darkness, I am finally ready to tell my story, and to speak up on behalf of myself and for the benefit of other women who face violence and abuse in their relationships.
“With the expiration of New York’s Adult Survivors Act fast approaching, it became clear that this was an opportunity to speak up about the trauma I have experienced and that I will be recovering from for the rest of my life.”

Combs has responded to the allegations, saying: “So difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, sometimes you got to do that. I was f**ked up.
“I mean, I hit rock bottom, but I make no excuses, my behavior in that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video, I’m disgusted.
“I was disgusted then when I did it, I am disgusted now. I went and I sought out professional help, I got into going to therapy, going to rehab.
“Had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I’m so sorry. But I am committed to be a better man each and every day. I’m not asking for forgiveness, I’m truly sorry.”
