Eminem and Rihanna have had major success with the songs that they’ve collaborated on, and now the duo is attempting to translate that success into a tour. Slim Shady and Rihanna will embark on a three-city tour of New York, Los Angeles and Detroit, Eminem’s hometown.

As reported by news.radio.com:

“The huge news comes from the latest issue of XXL, which features Eminem on the cover alongside Dr. Dre and Interscope Records head honcho Jimmy Iovine, with a story based around the recently launched Beats Music streaming services.

“Eminem also took to his Twitter account to spread the word regarding the “Monster Tour” with Rihanna, which he revealed would happen this August in New York, Detroit and Los Angeles. No dates or venues have yet to be announced.”

Eminem and Rihanna’s collaborations have been major successes since 2010. Both songs that they have done together, “Love The Way You Lie” and the most recent, “Monster” have been No.1 hits on the Billboard charts.

Dates have not been confined yet, but when they do fans can almost be certain that the tickets will sell out in a very short time.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
