We have just exclusively heard that Rihanna and Eminem have re-united and recorded a sequel to their massive hit “Love The Way You Lie”. The follow up which is labeled simply as “Love The Way You Lie (Part 2),” takes the female side now that it is Rihanna featuring Eminem.
The Bajan singer croons, “Even angels have their wing cut schemes, and you take that to new extremes, but you will always be my hero, even though you lost your mind.”
The track is also produced by breakout UK producer Alex Da Kid, and it will be included on her new album LOUD, which hits stores November 16th. Stay tuned!

Rihanna says her duet with Eminem is the best song she has ever worked on.
The R&B beauty teamed up with the rapper on the hit single Love The Way You Lie. The music promo attracted a great deal of attention because along with Rihanna and Eminem, it also featured Megan Fox and Dominic Monaghan who played a couple in an abusive relationship.
Rihanna is hugely proud of the song and believes it is her greatest work to date. The Barbados-born star was thrilled to collaborate with Eminem and says they got along well in the recording studio.
"Working with Em was a huge honour,” Rihanna told Bravo. “He is such a great artist - very quiet, but super nice! The track is, in my opinion, the best I have ever made."
The singer went on to talk about her close friend Katy Perry. She insists the music stars don’t feel competitive with each other and they would love to work together one day.
Rihanna also denies she ever criticised Katy’s music, explaining she just finds it frustrating that some of the most successful female singers aren’t treated as individuals.
"Katy is my friend! I would never diss her,” Rihanna explained. “I am my only rival because I always want to be better. I was just slandering producers who offer stars like Katy, Gaga, Ke$ha or me always the same, total usual pop songs. Along the lines of, ‘One of them is gonna pick it.’ They just don't notice that every one of us has her own style.
“I love Katy’s music! That's why I absolutely want to record a duet with her. We work at full speed on that."

The blogosphere almost immediately began pitting teen pop sensation Justin Bieber against teen rap upstart, and Run DMC legend Rev. Run‘s son, Diggy Simmons against each other when Bieber unleashed his “Speaking In Tongues” freestyle this morning. But there’s no need to create negative competition between the two. Not only are Bieber and Simmons friends and shared the stage in concert in the past, they’re working on a new song together.
Producer Boi-1da, known for producing multiple tracks for Drake (“Best I Ever Had,” “Over,” “Forever” to name a few) and Eminem‘s “Not Afraid,” dropped the deets to Neon Limelight in a telephone interview yesterday (October 13).
After clearing up rumors that he was working with the Jonas Brothers (he hasn’t yet, but he’d love to. “I’d never be appalled to work with Jonas Brothers. They’re huge and they make good music,” he told us), the Toronto-based producer revealed that after tackling rap and R&B beats, he wants to take on pop. “I have some stuff in the works,” he said. “I’m actually working on a song with Diggy Simmons and Justin Bieber. It’s going to be crazy.”
Other details on the track — where it will appear, the title, etc. — are still being decided.
Diggy isn’t the only teen rapper Bieber is trying to gain more street cred from. According to VIBE.com, he’s also working on a joint mixtape with Young Money’s Lil Twist. That should definitely be enough to quiet the teen beef instigators for awhile.
