Eminem has received widespread praise from fans online after an inflammatory lyric from his song Fuel about Diddy resurfaced following his arrest this week.
Avid music fans claim they have finally understood the true meaning of a verse from the rapper, after Sean Combs, better known as Diddy, was charged with a series of sex offences.
They say Eminem’s lyrics, in the song released in July, were a warning about Diddy’s sexual abuse allegations.
The rapper skillfully sprinkles double meanings in his lyrics: a word or phrase that is open to multiple interpretations.
Eminem starts the verse with the word “essay” and then writes the word rapper, but purposely leaves out an extra “p” – making it “rapper.”
Speculation about Diddy’s dark history began about ten months ago when public allegations about him surfaced. Then, on September 16, Diddy was arrested and charged with racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

But it was the rapper’s next show that left fans stunned.
He twists the word “essay” to refer to his West Coast friends as “ese,” which is Spanish slang for friend.
The next variation of “essay” is “SA,” a common acronym used on the Internet meaning “sexual abuse.”
The final blow comes from the entire verse, which ends with, “Wait, he didn’t spell the word ‘rapper’ and leave out the P, did he?”
The text “leave out a P, did he?” also stands for P. Diddy, according to fans online.
Eminem is being praised online after a lyric from his July song Fuel resurfaced online. TikTok reaction videos to Eminem’s song Fuel went viral on Saturday as fans claimed they discovered the real meaning of one of the rapper’s verses – Diddy’s sexual assault allegations
Fans were captivated by Eminem’s wordplay, with one user commenting under a reaction video: ‘Eminem has always been a lyrical genius’
Fans were fascinated by Eminem’s wordplay, with some users pointing out that the rapper has always said this to his fans.
Someone wrote: ‘Eminem and 50 Cent have been hounding P Diddy for years trying to tell us everything.’
Another said: ‘Eminem has always been a lyrical genius.’
While a third added: ‘Just listen to “killshot” he already told us.’
Speculation about Diddy’s dark past began about ten months ago, when public allegations about him emerged.
On September 16, Diddy was arrested and charged with extortion, sex trafficking, and transportation for the purpose of prostitution.
The next morning, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York released a 14-page document detailing the ongoing investigation into the discredited hip-hop icon.
This sent the internet into chaos as people began speculating en masse about who was involved in Diddy’s alleged crimes and who had been victimized by looking through old photos and videos.
A video has surfaced of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs with Justin Bieber, showing the two partying in 2016.
The footage, which is believed to have been taken during Bieber’s early 22nd birthday celebrations, shows the rapper handing Bieber a Bad Boy Entertainment bomber jacket.
Combs, now 54, can then be seen putting his arm around the One Less Lonely Girl singer, now 30, who holds the garment up for the camera.
The couple posed for photos together, after which Bieber stripped down to put on his jacket as the crowd around him cheered.
Users discussed Bieber’s calmness and how it changed frequently throughout the clip, from a distant and emotionless demeanor to a cheerful and numb one.
