slated to kick off in August.
Eminem and Rihanna, who collaborated on 2013's "The Monster," a cut
off Em's The Marshall Mathers LP 2, plan on stopping in three cities for
this tour, New York, Los Angeles and Detroit.
“There are some shows coming up with Rihanna,” Eminem said in an
interview XXL . “It’s a three-city tour: New York, L.A. and Detroit
coming in August. The Monster Tour.”
Rihanna spoke about working with Eminem during a January 2013
interview with Complex .
"The moment I worked with him on 'Love the Way You Lie,' I wanted to
work with him again, and we did 'Love the Way You Lie Part 2,'" Rihanna
said at the time. "And then I wanted to work with him again. I just love
working with Eminem. He’s just one of my favorite rappers, and his
lyrics—he’s a true poet, and I enjoy that about him. For this song, I
needed someone with not only his skill, but his personality. And I needed
someone who really understands the perspective and the metaphor in
the song of going numb and being numb to everything around and to
say, 'Fuck you.' Eminem is definitely the perfect guy for that."
