‘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.’
