Snoop Dogg responded to online comments about his recent low-key fight with Eminem.
The dispute started in July 2020, when Snoop explained why Eminem did not make his 10 greatest rappers of all time – and cited a series of hip hop stars that he values more than the Detroit artist.
Despite claiming that Eminem was still “one of my teammates, one of my brothers”, Snoop concluded with a bombshell: “But when you’re talking about this hip-hop shit I can’t live without, I can live without that . “
Then he replied in ‘Zeus’, from the deluxe edition of his album ‘Music to Be Murdered By’: “When it comes to crushing meat, I’m used to people hitting me / But not in my field / And diplomatic as I’m trying to be / The last thing I need is Snoop chasing me / Dude, Dogg, you were like a god damn me / Meh, not really (haha) / I had a dog backwards. “
In an interview with Eminem’s own station, Shade 45, on December 31, he clarified later that it was “more about the tone he was using” that caught the rapper “off guard”.
“I just saw you [Snoop]. What the fuck? That surprised me. Again, I could probably have gotten over the whole tone and everything, but it was the last statement in which he said, ‘As far as I can live without music, I can live without this shit.’ Now you’re being disrespectful. It caught me off guard. I was not ready for this. “

On Friday night (January 1), Snoop responded to an Eminem fan account on Instagram that asked, “Was Snoop Dogg being disrespectful when he said he could live without Eminem’s music?”
Snoop responded quickly in the comments with “Pray not to respond to that soft shit”, followed by three laughing and crying emojis.
Em recently admitted that he doesn’t feel as influential as some of the legendary figures in rap.
Speaking in an interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music’s ‘At Home With’ series, Slim Shady discussed the top rapper lists and shared his opinion of his position among some of rap’s biggest MCs.
“I know I’ve been around for a minute, but I don’t feel that, honestly, deep down in my heart, I don’t feel anything I did, everything I’ve done so far is more influential than they were for their time,” he said . “For me, I will never mean more than they did for their time.”
