You'd gone back to someone who put you in the hospital

[Getting angry] Oh really? Did I?

Well... yes

Did I? Did I? Did I?

You went and recorded with him, yes.

Ok. In a completely professional environment. And on a complete professional note. I mean, if I went back to him [as a girlfriend], then that's a whole different discussion. And if I ever do, then that's something that y'all have to talk to me about when -if- that ever happens. Until then, look at it for what it is. I think a lot of people jumped to an assumption that was incorrect and they ended up looking stupid.

The assumption you were dating again?

Because of a song. How stupid. If I was together with every collaborator I worked with... **** my life

Still, the lyrics didn't do much to dispel that impression. His opening line is "Girl I want to **** you right now/been a long time/I've been missing your body". You reply "Remember how you did it/If you still want to kiss it/Then come and get it"

That was the tone before he was even on the record. You think it was going to about hopscotch or jump rope?

So neither of you for a minute thought "This is going to put the cat among the pigeons"?

I could never see anything wrong with making music

Maybe the thing is that as an artist your personal and private life are intertwined, and you've already played on this. The first song you put out after the beating incident was "Love the Way You Lie", about domestic violence

Absolutely. But LTWYL was me as an artist working with Eminem as an artist, telling our stories individually. On a track together. I'm lost. I'm confused as to what you're trying to get at.

That it's hard to separate the person who's been the victim of domestic violence and the pop star singing about domestic violence

I know. And that's how ****ed up society is. There's a lot of **** y'all can't get over. Y'all holding your breath on a lot of stuff that doesn't matter. When you realize who you live for, and who's important to please, a lot of people will actually start living. I am never going to get caught up in that. I'm gonna look back on my life and say that I enjoyed it - and I lived it for me- and God. This is turning into a tacky interview. What do you really want to talk about? I'm not here to [talk] about messy ****.

It's just what's been making the headlines recently

OK! So do you want to talk about everything on Google? Or do you want to talk about stuffthat my fans want to know? Let's get to the real stuff. The stuff that's important.

What do your fans want to know

You tell me, as a journalist. You're asking the questions and I give you the answers. I can't give the questions too.

I'm sorry it's upset you

It hasn't upset me. It upsets me that you keep asking the same kind of questions about stuff that's trivial. What's there to talk about? Are all your questions like that? Let's move onto the next one.

It's just that you haven't given an interview for a while. A lot has happened

You think I haven't given an interview for a while? I did four this morning

Did they go any better than this?

We'll see [when they come out] tomorrow.

I really don't know who to side with.

I'm happy that Rihanna stood up for herself, regardless of her compromising position.

But I'm impressed that the reported pushed this far
