Eminem took to Twitter yesterday (Feb. 21) to make a huge announcement.

The Detroit rhymer took to the social networking site to reveal that he will be joined by "Love The Way You Lie" and "The Monster" collaborator on a three-city tour run.

"There are some shows coming up with Rihanna," Slim Shady told XXL magazine's latest issue. "It's a three-city tour: New York, L.A., and Detroit coming in August. The Monster Tour."

Eminem is currently on his "Rapture Tour" with Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole in Australia, while Rihanna wrapped up her "Diamonds World Tour" last year.

During an interview with complex in January 2013, Rihanna spoke on working with Eminem. Here's what she had to say:

"The moment I worked with him on 'Love the Way You Lie,' I wanted to work with him again, and we did 'Love the Way You Lie Part 2,'" Rihanna said at the time. "And then I wanted to work with him again. I just love working with Eminem. He's just one of my favorite rappers, and his lyrics-he's a true poet, and I enjoy that about him. For this song, I needed someone with not only his skill, but his personality. And I needed someone who really understands the perspective and the metaphor in the song of going numb and being numb to everything around and to say, 'F**k you.' Eminem is definitely the perfect guy for that."
