Clearly it's about someone who uses their position of power to exploit an underage girl.

It must be so hard for her being rich, famous, popular, and desired.

What a tough life.

Eminem has made it relatively clear that he has 3 personas, 2 of which really aren't reflective of him but are mostly performance.

There is
Marshall Mathers
Slim Shady
and
Eminem

Marshall Mathers is the real him, but he is rarely super real.

Eminem is kinda close to the real him, but a bit more flexy and braggadocios, also more melodramatic.

Slim Shady is basically troll Eminem, very over the top.

As far as Billie...

I truly truly doubt though that Billie is depressed, or at least she's only depressed in that way you are when you are feeling hopeless or frustrated but yet you still expect more out of life. It's like a heightened longer version of how those girls on my super sweet 16 were "sad" when their parents didn't buy them the expensive car they wanted.

lol i phrased that as more of a I'm sick of you bein' rich and you still mad, let's talk about it Eminem joke to ask about Billie and *It being hard for her being rich* pretty much;

but Ive read angry blonde, the way I am, the stories behind every song, and his bodyguards book shady bizzness; Im new to Billie though thats why I asked if shes actually depressed beyond this new single.

thats understandable then, and oh haha I never saw my super sweet 16 but I can imagine the gist of it lolol
