Eminem is opening up about his former feud with Snoop Dogg, revealing it ended when their friend Dr. Dre got sick.
Dre (real name Andre Young), 57, suffered an aneurysm in January 2021 and spent two weeks in intensive care.
That scary incident lead Eminem (real name Marshall Mathers), 49, and Snoop Dogg (real name Calvin Broadus), 50, to bury the hatchet, Eminem revealed in a Sirius XM interview.
'Me and Snoop had our little issue and then when Dre, when that thing happened with Dre, the brain aneurysm thing…; Eminem told his longtime manager Paul Rosenberg on SiriusXM's Paul Pod: Curtain Call 2.
'We were like, bro this is stupid. This is stupid as hell to be feuding right now. So I don't remember if I called him, or he called me, I can't remember, but we talked it out,' Eminem added.
He added that the beef started with a, 'miscommunication' on a potential collaboration on his song Bitch Please II on 2000's The Mathers LP.
'I think there was a miscommunication at the time in regards to him being on my album ‘The Mathers LP,’ ‘Bitch Please II,’” Slim Shady, 49, recalled, adding that Snoop wanted Eminem to appear on one of Snoop's tracks too... though it never happened.
'I think he wanted to do something with me, and maybe gave you the idea or something, and you just said something to the effect of, "Let’s hear what the song is first. Let’s hear what the type of song is,"' the rapper said.
'He said the way that he took it was kind of like that, "I don't f**k with him,' Eminem explained of how the beef started.
Rosenberg confirmed that Snoop, 'was looking for you to do something for his record, in return for that, and whatever I said was relayed back to him in a way that he didn't like, and he thought that meant that you didn't f**k with him.'
Eminem clarified that was definitely not the case, adding he told Snoop that his breakthrough debut album Doggystyle, 'changed my life.'
Eminem, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg would all join forces - along with Mary J. Blige - just over a year after Dre.'s aneurysm at the historic Super Bowl halftime show in Los Angeles in February.
He also opened up on the same podcast appearance about his near-death methadone overdose in December 2007.
'It took a long time for my brain to start working again,' the rapper revealed.
While he did go back to using briefly, he entered rehab, and finally got clean in April 2008.
