Eminem has defended his guest verse on Kid Rock’s new faith-based album, saying a friendship that goes back decades matters more than the political divide

Eminem has defended his guest verse on Kid Rock’s new faith-based album, saying a friendship that goes back decades matters more than the political divide between them. “Not about choosing sides, just choosing to make music with my old friend. Praying for all of us,” he wrote on social media hours after Halfway 2 Jesus came out on Friday.

His verse appears on “Heal My Faith,” which isn’t the song he was originally announced for. He was first billed on “7 Sins,” but the tracklist was reshuffled at the last minute, with Lil Wayne taking that song and Eminem moving to “Heal My Faith.” Kid Rock told Billboard they agreed they didn’t need two songs together, joking that otherwise “people are going to think we’re dating.” He also said he “really didn’t want to drag him into my political world,” and that the two talk politics only “a little bit, not a ton.”

    FWIW,

    The Story Behind Popular ‘Woman Yelling at a Cat’ Meme Was Actually the Result of Abuse

    You’ve seen the viral meme — a split-screen of a blonde-haired woman yelling at a white cat making a face in front of a plate of lettuce. The meme has inspired countless laughs, but the story behind the woman in the meme, Taylor Armstrong, has a very difficult origin.

    …

    For Armstrong, however, the image of her screaming comes from a 2011 episode in season two of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” During the episode, titled “Malibu Beach Party From Hell,” Armstrong was telling her friends about her experience with domestic violence and abuse by her late ex-husband. Armstrong also revealed after filing for divorce and speaking out about the alleged abuse, her former husband died by suicide.

    Another “Housewives” cast member, Camille Grammer, was filmed gossiping with other people about Armstrong’s past, which made Armstrong worry about how her current husband would react. After the other cast members kept trying to minimize Armstrong’s feelings about the gossip with Grammer, it sparked a major fight. The resulting fight led to the image now famous in the Woman Yelling at a Cat meme.

    …

    “Thank you – that is my past and I have moved on and am in a really healthy, happy marriage,” Armstrong tweeted. “It doesn’t seem like my life any longer. I work w domestic violence shelters and support victims. It’s ok to laugh at the images that have been created.”

      It just seemed like something out of a series, didn’t realise it was a reality TV show. Glad she’s doing better
