Royce Da 5'9 has said people shouldn't take Eminem's diss of Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber in their new song seriously.
The track, entitled 'A Kiss', which also pokes fun at Katy Perry, features on the rapper's new EP, 'Hell: The Sequel'.
"(Eminem) has a great sense of humor. He's been doing that type of thing his whole career. It's one of the things that makes him great,” he told Billboard.
“I laughed when I heard it and told him he was crazy. I definitely don't think anyone should take it as an insult."
Royce Da 5'9” also claimed that the Detroit rappers' new EP, released on June 14 under the monkier Bad Meets Evil, was “God's work”.
The pair first worked together in the late 90s but later fell out. They only reconnected after their mutual friend Proof was shot dead in 2006.
