Snoop Dogg and Eminem’s rumored feud

In July 2020, while being interviewed by The Breakfast Club on the impact of Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg made some comments about Eminem that would later become controversial. He compared Eminem with some other rappers saying:

“There’s some n***as in the eighties that he can’t f*ck with. Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Big Daddy Kane, LL Cool J. Ice Cube. I ain’t got no time to play, it is what it is. Cuz did it, he did that. He’s a teammate, he’s one of my brothers. But when you’re talking about this hip-hop shit that I can’t live without, I can live without that"

Snoop’s comment caused controversy in the media as many speculated as to whether the rappers were on good terms.

Eminem addressed Snoop’s comments in his 2020 track, Zeus.

"As far as squashing beef, I'm used to people knockin' me// But just not in my camp, and diplomatic as I'm tryna be// Last thing I need is Snoop doggin' me// Man, Dogg, you was like a damn god to me// Nah, not really -- I had "dog" backwards"

In an interview with SiriusXM’s Shade 45 in December 2020, Eminem admitted that he found Snoop’s comments disrespectful and was caught off-guard by it.
