Eminem, Drake end feud rumors

- — Randy Lewis

So much for reports of a feud between rappers Eminem and Drake, amid growing social media speculatio­n that one or the other was readying a diss track aimed at the other.

Eminem joined Drake on stage Tuesday night at the Joe Louis Arena in Eminem’s hometown of Detroit to perform Drake’s song “Forever.”

Introducin­g his guest, Drake made his respect for the rapper born Marshall Mathers clear by inviting the crowd to “make some noise for the greatest rapper to ever get on a microphone,” according to a report from the show in the Detroit Free Press. Eminem then asked fans to do the same for Drake before saying, “Detroit, I love you. I’m out.”

A representa­tive for Eminem’s label, Interscope Records, provided no other informatio­n about the nature of the onstage duet.

Twitter and Instagram have been buzzing in recent weeks as fans have weighed in enthusiast­ically about the prospect of the two in a rap battle and who might win. The duo posed for photos together on social media.
