It doesn't seem hypocritical to me. At the time LTWYL came out I remember being surprised what a nuanced and well-done look at dynamics of abusive relationships it was. Not painting the abuser as a monster went a good way towards explaining why people stay in these situations. Because the love and affection is (seems?) sincere. And then in the last verse you get the reminder that staying can have dire consequences. It's kind of subverting, music-wise and lyric-wise, the love song genre, to show that it can end in hell. It's very self-aware, IMO.

But now it seems that it was all Eminem deconstructing what's going on in these kind of relationships. I remember that he had been clean and in therapy for some time when the song came out, and you can see that he'd really taken a hard look at a lot of the choices/mistakes he made in the past. Rihanna didn't write either Stay or LTWYL, but LTWYL seemed to speak for her as well. And perhaps it still does, but unfortunately in a "still trapped in this toxic situation" way...

Good point about how much of it was driven by Eminem. I think not only is LTWYL very nuanced and honest, but the fact that Eminem is involved makes me, personally, more confident that said nuance and honestly is intentional, not a mistake or something I'm reading onto it. So much of his music in the latter part of his career is about deconstructing and reflecting on the mistakes he glorified in the early part, so it's easy for me to believe that LTWYL is self-aware. Whereas I just don't know about Rhianna.
