Marshall was a popular rapper, and you were a popular singer who got just as many plays as he did. Why was that? You mixed your main style with rap, so the public loved you.

You and Marshall had known each other since you first met at an event. You got along well, and he even sometimes came to you for advice or support because of his relationship with Kim... because it was difficult for him to balance work, caring for his daughter Hayley, and constant arguments and confusing relationships with Kim.

So it all came down to that court case. Even though you weren't there in person, you were obviously there for your friend. It was a high-profile case because Eminem himself was involved.

Of course, after that, there was no question of a normal relationship between them. They only communicated for the sake of their daughter. And Marshall himself told you how Kim was, to put it mildly, awful, and that he didn't want to put up with her anymore.

On this basis, when everything more or less settled down in the media, you decided to write a song. About what? About Marshall. Of course, you didn't mention him directly in the song, but veiled it.

So when Marshall and the others were at some event, you performed your new song about him.

Briefly, the song was about some guy you didn't have a relationship with, but you sang about your feelings. Of course, the most important line was about him being a criminal and you being in love with him. Of course, many people understood who it was about, and Marshall himself understood it too, so he sat in the hall with a slightly silly smile while listening to your song and watching you on stage.

After you finished, the audience applauded and cheered, and they clearly liked the song.

You left the stage and took your seat next to Marshall, who smiled and turned to you when you sat down.

“So you like a criminal? The one who was in court recently?” he said, clearly hinting at himself.
