In a bombshell revelation that’s setting the hip-hop world ablaze, a fellow rapper has openly claimed that working with Eminem on the 2010 track “No Love” was far from smooth sailing — even going so far as to call the rap legend “an asshole.”

The comment, which surfaced in a recent interview, paints a picture of intense creative tension behind the scenes of one of the most iconic collaborations of the last decade. The artist confessed:

“I just wanted to make sure Eminem didn’t touch me. I even had to rewrite my verse in No Love three times because that dude is an asshole.”

The statement shocked fans, given that “No Love” — from Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter IV album — is widely regarded as a masterclass in lyrical sparring, with both verses praised for their razor-sharp wordplay. Eminem’s feature on the track, in particular, has long been considered one of his most aggressive and technically impressive performances of the era.

Industry insiders say it’s not unusual for Eminem to push collaborators to their limits. Known for his perfectionism and competitive spirit in the booth, he’s often been described as someone who “goes for the throat” when recording guest verses, determined to outshine even his closest collaborators. But for some artists, that drive can cross into intimidating territory.

The revelation has reignited debates in the hip-hop community over Eminem’s personality and approach to making music. While some see him as a relentless professional whose only goal is to elevate the track, others suggest his intensity can alienate those working alongside him.

Social media has been quick to weigh in. Eminem’s loyal fanbase, known as “Stans,” rushed to defend the rapper, calling the comment “out of pocket” and accusing the unnamed artist of clout-chasing. Others applauded the honesty, saying it pulled back the curtain on the pressures of collaborating with a rap icon.

Music critics note that this isn’t the first time tension has been reported when working with Eminem. Over the years, stories have surfaced about late-night rewrites, obsessive retakes, and relentless competition in the studio. Some say it’s exactly this high-pressure environment that’s produced so many unforgettable verses — but it’s clearly not for everyone.

Despite the drama, “No Love” remains one of the most celebrated rap collaborations of the 2010s. The track’s combination of Lil Wayne’s swagger and Eminem’s ferocity captured a moment in hip-hop history when two giants went head-to-head in their prime.

As for whether this revelation will affect future collaborations between the two? That remains unclear. But one thing’s certain — this comment has ensured that fans will never listen to “No Love” the same way again.
