Eminem fans only just realising rapper took savage swipe at Diddy MONTHS before shamed star's arrest
EMINEM took a massive swipe at under fire Sean 'Diddy' Combs months before his arrest for sex trafficking - but fans have only just realised.
Last week Combs, 54, was hit with trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution charges after cops arrested him at the five star Park Hyatt hotel in New York.
He denies any wrongdoing and has vowed to fight the charges at trial. A judge denied Combs bail and the music mogul will be remanded in custody until his court hearing.
Back in June, Detroit rapper Em took aim at Diddy in his track Fuel.
The sharp-tongued artist cleverly turned the word 'essay' into the abbreviated 'SA', which is shorthand for sexual assault, within a matter of lines.
At the same time, he purposely misspelled 'rapper' as 'raper', and delivered the blistering line: "Wait, he didn't just spell the word, 'Rapper' and leave out a P, did he? (Yep)."
In a further attack on Combs, Em then then referenced the infamous deaths of Notorious B.I.G, who was Diddy's best pal in the 90s, and Tupac Shakur , which have never been solved.
He continued: "R.I.P., rest in peace, Biggie And Pac, both of y'all should be living (yep) But I ain't tryna beef with him (nope) 'Cause he might put a hit on me like, 'Keefe D, get him' And that's the only way you're gonna be killing me (nah)."
The track's lyrics have taken on a darker meaning since Combs' arrest, but fans have praised Eminem 's foresight.
One person wrote on X: "Fuel is going crazy viral cuz of them Diddy lines damn. Eminem ahead of the curve."
Another posted: "Thinking abt the diddy diss in Fuel and how like 3 months later diddy gets arrested. Eminem magic."
A third said: "Sup with Eminem fuel foreshadowing and naming diddy in 'cuffs'."
The charges levelled at Combs allege he "abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct."
US Magistrate Judge Robyn F. Tarnofsky ordered Combs to be held without bail, citing "very significant concerns" about his reported substance abuse and "what appears to be anger issues."
It comes as...
Speaking to reporters outside the courthouse after, Combs' attorney, Marc Agnifilo, announced, "We are appealing the decision to hold him without bail."
"We'll fight every day until we don't have to fight anymore," Agnifilo said.
"We made the points that we've been wanting to make. Mr Combs is a fighter. He'll fight this to the end. He's innocent. He's not afraid."
When asked how Combs was doing, Agnifilo said, "He's doing fine. He's a fighter."
In court filings, his attorneys argued that he should be released on a $50 million bail because he was struggling to find a place to live in New York City.
The lawyers cited the US Open and Fashion Week as some of the reasons why their client couldn't land a month-long rental.
Meanwhile, prosecutors argued that Combs was a danger to the community and urged the judge to keep him locked up until trial.
"Mr. Combs physically and sexually abused victims for decades," Assistant US Attorney Emily Johnson said in the hearing.
"He used the vast resources of his company to facilitate his abuse and cover up his crimes.
"Simply put, he is a serial abuser and a serial constructor."
The prosecutors then referenced a video that matched the footage of Combs chasing his ex, Cassie Ventura, in a hotel hallway and beating her, which CN N obtained in May.
They argued this was surefire proof that Combs shouldn't be trusted to roam free alongside his alleged victims.
UNSEALED INDICTMENTThe court appearance came after a federal indictment detailing the charges was unsealed ahead of Combs' arraignment.
Prosecutors accused Combs of using his business empire, called Combs Enterprise, to carry out and cover up his alleged crimes, the documents said.
Combs offered his Miami home, valued at $48 million, plus his mother's Miami home, worth $2 million, to make bail, TMZ reported.
He's was also willing to limit his travel, keep his private jet parked in Los Angeles, and wear a GPS tracking device, the report continued.
If Combs is convicted and receives a maximum sentence, he faces a combined 45 years behind bars; the racketeering charge has a 20-year max, the sex trafficking charge carries a 15-year max, and the other charge has a 10-year max.
