Dr. Dre’s health was the reason behind Eminem and Snoop Dogg’s squashed beef.
At the end of 2020, a beef between Eminem and Snoop Dogg erupted when the Detroit rapper took shots at the Long Beach legend on his song “Zeus” off the “Music To Be Murdered By Side B” album. The reason behind the shots was Snoop Dogg trashing Eminem on the Breakfast Club interview, and not naming him in his top 10 rappers.
However, the beef was squashed in about a month’s time, after Dr. Dre suffered from a Brain Aneurysm at the start of 2021. “Me and Snoop [Dogg] had our little issue,” said Eminem on Paul Rosenberg’s podcast. “When that thing happened with Dre, the brain aneurysm thing, we were like, ‘Bro, this is stupid. This is stupid as hell to be feuding right now.’ I don’t remember if I called him or he called me; I can’t remember. But we talked it out. I think there was a miscommunication at the time, in regards to him being on my album, The Marshall Mathers LP – ‘B***h Please II,’ and I think he had wanted to do something with me.”
“Whatever I said or somebody else said, I don’t even think I said to him,” added Rosenberg. “I don’t remember talking to him but I may have talked to somebody on his team, and whatever I said was relayed back to him in a way that he didn’t like.”
In an interview with Rolling Stone Music Now in October 2021, Snoop Dogg described the matter and referred to Eminem as his “brother.” “I know how to call Marshall and say, ‘Man, I apologize. I was wrong, bro. Do you forgive me?’” he said at the time. “You got to understand we really love each other. So we don’t want the public to put a spin on something that’s not even that serious… And we truly respect each other. So we wanted to get an understanding behind closed doors. We’re brothers, man.”
The two then joined forces with Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige and 50 Cent for the iconic Super Bowl halftime show this year. Recently, they also collaborated on a new track “From The D To The LBC” which they also performed at MTV Video Music Awards 2022.
