Eminem and Royce da 5’9 recently premiered their new track, as hip hop duo Bad Meets Evil, called “Kiss”. If you listen to the lyrics, the rappers threw in a couple of disses to several artists, including one Lady Gaga. Usually, when Eminem decides to hate on someone, there’s usually some beef between them or because he think they’re an easy target. It turns out that the princess of pop was the latter as Eminem explained in a recent interview that he actually likes Lady Gaga and the diss was just because she’s one of the biggest artists, therefore easy target, around. Sometimes, a lyric is just a lyric.
