Eminem's scathing lyrics about Diddy revealed - as fans say they finally understand song's real meaning: 'He tried telling us!'

Eminem has been praised by fans online after an incendiary lyric from his song Fuel about Diddy resurfaced following his arrest this week.

Keen music lovers claimed they've finally realized the real meaning of one of the rapper's verses - following the shocking news that Sean Combs, known as Diddy, was charged with a slew of sex crimes. 

They say Eminem's lyrics, in the song that was released back in July, were a warning about Diddy's sexual assault allegations. 

The rapper expertly littered his lyrics with double meanings - a word or phrase that is open to more than one interpretation. 

Eminem sets up the verse by using the word 'essay,' then spelling out the word rapper but purposely leaves out an extra 'p' - spelling it 'raper.'

But it's the rapper's next set up which left fans stunned. 

He twists the word 'essay' to refer to his friends on the West Coast as 'ese' - which is Spanish slang for friend.

The next variation of 'essay' becomes 'SA' which is a well-known acronym used on the internet to mean sexual assault.

For the final blow, the entire verse culminates in 'wait, he didn't spell the word "rapper" and leave out a P, did he?'

The lyric 'leave out a P, did he?' doubles as P. Diddy, fans online said. 

Fans were enthralled with Eminem's word play, with some users pointing out the rapper had always been telling their fans this.

One person wrote: 'Eminem and 50 Cent have been chasing P Diddy for years trying to tell us all.'

Another said: 'Eminem has always been a lyrical genius.'

While a third added: 'Go and listen to "killshot" he already told us.'

Speculation on Diddy's shady history started around ten months ago when public allegations began surfacing around him. 

Then Diddy was arrested on September 16 and charged with racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.

The following morning the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York unsealed a 14-page document that revealed details of the ongoing investigation into the disgraced hip-hop icon.

This opened a can of worms on the internet as people rushed to speculate who had been involved in Diddy's alleged crimes and who had been victims by looking at old photos and videos.

One video of Sean 'Diddy' Combs with Justin Bieber emerged, showing the pair partying in 2016.

The footage, which appeared to be taken at early celebrations for Bieber's 22nd birthday, showed the rapper presenting Bieber with a Bad Boy Entertainment bomber jacket.

Combs, now 54, is then seen putting his arm around the One Less Lonely Girl singer, now 30, who held the garment up to the camera.

The pair proceeded to pose for pictures together before Bieber stripped to put the coat on while the crowd around him cheered. 

Users discussed Bieber's composure and how it changed frequently in the clip, alternating between vacant and emotionless, to happy and dazed.
