Bieber has been name-dropped himself by Eminem, on his "Kick Off" freestyle in December. "Justin Bieber in a Catholic school/Selling dust and reefer when your back is to him," Em rapped.

Kamikaze originally came out August 2018, and "The Ringer" instantly became one of the most talked about tracks upon its release. Em spends the majority of the Ronny J-produced track taking aim at the current state of hip-hop, lamenting the "mumblin'" and "mumbo-jumbo" rap from the likes of Lil Pump among others. "The Ringer" wasn't the only song to spark conversation, however, with many calling out the 46-year-old rapper for his homophobic lyrics directed at Tyler, the Creator on "Fall."

Bieber recently made a surprise appearance on-stage with Ariana Grande during her Coachella set, promising fans that his new album is "coming soon."
