AceShowbiz - Eminem may have gone too far this time. The rapper, who's never afraid of name-dropping fellow celebrities, threatens to assault Lana Del Rey in a new cypher released on Monday, November 10 in support of the upcoming compilation "ShadyXV".
In the video, Em appears with Shady Records labelmates like Joe Budden, Royce da 5'9" and Yelawolf. "But I may fight for gay rights, especially if they dyke is more of a knockout than Janay Rice/ Play nice?" he raps at one point.
"B**ch I'll punch Lana Del Rey right in the face twice, like Ray Rice in broad daylight in the plain sight of the elevator surveillance/ 'Til her head is banging on the railing, then celebrate with the Ravens," he continues.
Ray Rice in the line is of course the Baltimore Ravens running back who got suspended by the NFL after a surveillance video of him assaulting wife Janay surfaced online via TMZ back in September.
Del Rey, who said in a 2012 interview that she "f**king love Eminem," hasn't said anything about the cypher. Azealia Banks, meanwhile, has some harsh words for the Detroit rapper. "@LanaDelRey but does eminem know that I will personally punch him in his mouth?!" she tweeted. "Tell him to go back to his trailer park and eat his microwave hotpocket dinner and suck on his sisters tiddies."
Del Rey is hardly the first female musician Eminem has ever dissed. The self-declared "Rap God" has degraded everyone from Britney Spears to Mariah Carey on his previous tracks.
