Eminem has had a collaboration with Beyonce on his wish list for "a long time".
The 45-year-old rapper recently worked with the ‘Single Ladies’ hitmaker on ‘Walk On Water’ and he admits this song just stuck out as the perfect one for them to work together on.
He said: "It [the collaboration] has been on my wish list for a long time, but I never really had a song that I felt like would be right to present to her. And based off what it was about, I felt like she probably could relate to this, too."
And the ‘Love The Way You Lie’ hitmaker feels Beyonce could relate to this track as she is always under pressure to be perfect.
Speaking to DJ Whoo Kid and Lord Sear for SiriusXM’s Shade 45 show, which will air in full on Saturday (18.11.17), he added: "You know, just because Beyoncé’s always … everything she does is so perfect. But, the pressures behind that to … for her to do it so perfect, you know, I felt like she could probably relate to that.
"’Cause I told her, I said, ‘I never seen you make a mistake before, ever.’ Like, performance wise, everything. Every song she puts out, every album, it’s so calculated and precise. And everything’s always so perfect."
Eminem recently made a return to the stage when he performed at the MTV EMAs at The SSE Arena in Wembley, north west London last week. Whilst Beyonce – who recently welcomed twins – was unable to make it, Skylar Grey – who co-wrote the song – filled in on vocals.
Shortly after his performance, the rapper was honoured with the MTV Europe Music Award for Best Hip-Hop and in his acceptance speech, he promised a new album was coming soon.
Speaking to accept his award – which was presented by Prophets of Rage – he said: "I’m not sure how I got this because I haven’t had an album in a few years but I got one coming. Just before I forget, I want to thank the fans and MTV."
