Rihanna Deems Eminem 'Real Man,' Disses Drake & Chris Brown? Hits Stage With 'Realist Rap Champion' For 'The Monster' Tour, Dating Rumors Intensify

Rihanna is currently performing alongside rapper Eminem on this summer's highly-anticipated "The Monster" tour. And apparently, the "Pour It Up" songstress is in totally awe of the infamous MMLP2 emcee. In fact, Slim Shady is a "real champion" within the world of hip-hop - take that, Drake and Chris Brown!

Rumors suggest that 41-year-old Eminem has a "crush" on the 26-year-old Barbadian beauty. Perhaps the feelings are mutual?

An alleged HollywoodLife.com insider reveals that RiRi's "ecstatic" to be touring with such a monumental musician:

"He's [Eminem] the realist. She says it's been a while since she's been on stage with a real champion who gets it in a long time."

Apparently, Rihanna digs her "Love The Way You Lie" collaborator because he's mature, but still always "tells it like it is and how it is."

Maybe ex-boyfriends Drizzy and Breezy were simply too immature and - ouch - untalented?

In fact, the two hip-hop stars are just "jealous" because they can't keep-up with the "Diamonds" muse - or her "Rap God" tour-mate.

Despite the ongoing rumors, RiRi and Shady are having a blast on tour. The six-show gig will hit three major cities throughout August:

August 7, Rose Bowl @ Pasadena, CA

August 8, Rose Bowl @ Pasadena, CA

August 16, Metlife Stadium @ East Rutherford, NJ

August 17, Metlife Stadium @ East Rutherford, NJ

August 22, Comerica Park @ Detroit, MI

August 23, Comerica Park @ Detroit, MI
