“U ever just cover Eminem on some tender sh*t for feels? (Not on a project Just for mental health🧘🏾‍♀️ ),” she captioned the Instagram post. Regardless, fans have had it on a loop, and are even more eager to hear her upcoming project, Lana. They’ve been anticipating the deluxe edition of SOS for some time now, though it’s taken longer than expected due to leaks. As for Eminem, he recently sparked controversy with his new single “Houdini,” which dropped last night. A line about Megan Thee Stallion getting shot in the foot by Tory Lanez has listeners split.

“If I was to ask for Megan Thee/ Stallion if she would collab with me/ Would I really have a shot at a feat?” he rhymes on the track, which is set to appear on his upcoming album The Death of Slim Shady.
