Eminem plays on the meaning of “batter.” Battered Women Syndrome is a defence in court that states you had to kill/assault your partner in order to live. On the other hand, cake batter is the mixture of all the ingredients to bake a cake. These lines also contain a connection to the Chris Brown and Rihanna domestic violence case, as well as the two’s collaboration “Birthday Cake.” Eminem has also mentioned the case between the two on a lost version of Things Get Worse .
