Eminem said he and Snoop Dogg ended their decades-long feud following Dr. Dre's health scare.
Their beef began after Snoop Dogg's appearance on Eminem's 2000 song, "Bitch Please II," which Dr. Dre was also a part of.
During an appearance on SiriusXM's Paul Pod: Curtain Call 2—hosted by Eminem's longtime manager Paul Rosenberg—the rapper, 49, said it was all just a "miscommunication."
"I think he had wanted to do something with me and maybe gave you the idea or something," Eminem—whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III—explained to Rosenberg.
"And you said something to the effect of, 'Well let's hear what the song is first. Let's see what the type of song is.' And I think he said the way that he took it was kind of like that I don't f*** with him. That I didn't f*** with him."
Rosenberg recalled a similar conversation, adding, "I don't even think I said it to him, because 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 and he thought that meant that you didn't f*** with him. Which obviously wasn't the case," he clarified.
Eminem said while he and Snoop Dogg "had our little issue," they patched things up last year after news broke of Dr. Dre's hospitalization.
"We were like, bro this is stupid. This is stupid as hell to be feuding right now," the Missouri native said on the podcast. "So I don't remember if I called him, or he called me, I can't remember, but we talked it out."
He added that Snoop Dogg's 1993 album Doggystyle "changed my life."
Newsweek reached out to Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre's representatives for comment.
In January 2021, Dr. Dre, 57, was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles after reportedly suffering a brain aneurysm.
In an interview with The Los Angeles Times in 2021, the "No Diggity" artist reflected on his health.
"It's a really weird thing. I've never had high blood pressure. And I've always been a person that has always taken care of my health," he told the outlet.
"But there's something that happens for some reason with Black men and high blood pressure, and I never saw that coming. But I'm taking care of myself."
Eminem and Snoop Dogg have since released a new track, 2022's "From the D 2 the LBC." They also performed alongside Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar and 50 Cent during the Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show in February.
