After rampant speculation that Eminem was working on a Drake diss track, with Drake set to fire straight back in the rap equivalent of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the pair seems to finally have set the record straight.
All with a surprise guest appearance from Slim Shady himself during the Detroit stop of Drake's Summer Sixteen Tour, at the Joe Lewis Arena; where the rapper popped up from a trap door to join in with "Forever", performing live his own section from the track.
"Make some noise for the greatest rapper to ever get on a microphone—he goes by the name of Eminem," Drake announced after a bow; with Eminem responding, "It’s an honor to share the stage with this man right here." Which is basically one step away from shaking hands, smiling, and posing for imaginary cameras.
Drake himself later shared an image of the pair, accompanied by the caption: "Shared the stage with the GOAT for Detroit. Done the hype."
Eminem's hardly the first star to jump up on Drake's stage so far this tour; with Rihanna, Kanye West, LeBron James, French Montana, Cam’ron, Juelz Santana, J. Cole, Fat Joe, and Remy Ma all having made guest appearances.
The rapper also teased a new visual component to his latest and fourth studio album Views, entitled "Please Forgive Me".
