Conspiracy theories abound on the internet, but this one goes in an especially bizarre one. Recently, a TikTok user sparked controversy online by speculating that Eminem intervened to save Rihanna from Puff Daddy, also known as Diddy, through their 2013 hit song “The Monster.” This wild hypothesis holds that the song’s lyrics allude to a covert conflict in which Eminem aids Rihanna in escaping Diddy’s grip.

It’s crucial to keep in mind that, even how much fans may like the notion of Eminem as a superhero, this theory is still just that—a theory. Actually, Rihanna was under Jay-Z’s record company, and Diddy’s influence over her career is not supported by any official records.Naturally, there are even more insane hypotheses that link the three. However, they are supported by the same folks who assert that Eminem borrowed the Slim Shady character from Big Proof and that Chris Brown was the true victim of his notorious encounter with Rihanna.
