Eminem and Rihanna have recorded four collaboration songs, namely "Love the Way You Lie," "Love the Way You Lie 2," "Numb" and "The Monster." It has been almost three years since the release of their last collaboration song but the two have yet to record another one.
"The Monster" is one of the 16 tracks from Eminem's eighth and most recent studio album titled "The Marshall Mathers LP 2." The album was released on Nov. 5, 2013 by Interscope Records, Shady Records and Aftermath Entertainment.
The upcoming ninth studio album of Eminem is said to be titled "Success." It has yet to be confirmed whether or not the album will be released before 2018 and if Rihanna is one of the collaborators to be featured in the upcoming album.
What fans can be sure of is that Eminem is currently working on his ninth studio album. This means that those who wish to see the Detroit rapper as an actor several years after "8 Mile" may not see him on the big screen anytime soon.
On the other hand, Rihanna is set to return to the big screen. In 2018, she will star "Ocean's Eight" with Matt Damon, Sarah Paulson, Dakota Fanning, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Sandra Bullock, Helena Bonham Carter, Damian Lewis, James Corden, Mindy Kaling, Charlotte Kirk, Alexader Wang, Denisa Juhos, Anna Wintour, Awkwafina. Zac Posen, Eric West and Oscar Pavlo, among others.
On Jan. 12, Thursday, Rihanna was spotted in New York City heading to the set of "Ocean's Eight." Carrying a Louis Vuitton backpack, Eminem's four-time collaborator was wearing an oversize Vetements hoodie, striped Gucci socks and buckled Maison Margiela sneakers, Us Weekly reported.
Meanwhile, Eminem was mentioned in a recent Billboard interview with Columbia Records' A&R senior vice president Dominick "DJ" Mormile. The latter is a nephew of Interscope Records co-founder Jimmy Iovine.
"When I was still in college, (Will.i.Am) was my guy," Mormille said while discussing his early years in the music industry. "Then I was working with Em, and then I started working with 50 Cent."
