He specifically chose to censor Cassie's name on the track, though.

It wouldn't be a new Eminem album without some out-of-pocket lyrics.

Em just dropped his 12th studio album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), and many of the record's tracks have gotten fans talking thanks to some outrageous lyrics. His concept album delivers one of its most out-of-pocket moments on the track "Antichrist," which he opens by lambasting "political correctness" before making a direct reference to the video of Diddy assaulting Cassie in the hallway of a hotel in 2016.

In the second verse of the track, Eminem raps about the disturbing footage but specifically chooses to censor Cassie's name:

But who else is as pitiless, actually witty and crass, hideous
Ghastly, and insidious as me, or spitting as nasty?
Next idiot ask me is getting his ass beat worse than Diddy did ****
But on the real, though (What?)
She prolly ran out the room with his fuckin' dildo (Come here)
He try to field goal punt her, she said to chill (No)
Now put it back in my ass and get the steel toe (Ew, ah, the fuck? Yeah)

The album, which Em has cautioned fans to listen to in sequence otherwise it won't make sense, also features another track in which Eminem references all the allegations against Diddy.

On the song "Fuel," Eminem raps, "I'm a R-A-P-E-R (Yeah) / Got so many S-As (S-As), S-As (Huh) / Wait, he didn't just spell the word / 'Rapper' and leave out a P, did he?"

The rapper previously took aim at Diddy on the 2018 Machine Gun Kelly diss track "Killshot," in which he accused the Bad Boy Entertainment founder of killing 2Pac.

Killshot, I will not fail, I’m with the Doc still
But this idiot’s boss pops pills and tells him he’s got skills
But, Kells, the day you put out a hit’s the day Diddy admits
That he put the hit out that got Pac killed

Em's latest has given fans plenty to chew on so far, and not just when it comes to some of its edgier moments. On another track on the record, "Renaissance," Eminem namedrops a whole slew of current rappers from the perspective of a "Hater." He directly names Kendrick Lamar, Lil Wayne, and J. Cole among others on the song.
