Dr Dre's aneurysm helped Eminem and Snoop Dogg make up after they fell out
Eminem has revealed that he put aside his feud with Snoop Dogg following Dr Dre's health scare last year.
Upon hearing the news of Dre's health complications, all animosity was seemingly squashed and put behind the pair.
Coming up in the music scene around the same time, the two American rappers were no strangers to a little bit of feuding, however, their beef supposedly began in 2000.

It was reported that tensions grew after Snoop wanted something in return after appearing on Eminem's album 'The Marshall Mathers LP'.
Speaking on Paul Pod - the SiriusXM show hosted by Eminem’s longtime manager, Paul Rosenberg - the 49-year-old outlined further details surrounding the situation.
"I think that there was a miscommunication at the time in regards to him being on my album,
"I think he had wanted to do something with me, and maybe gave you [Rosenberg] the idea… " he explained.
When Eminem's manager had wanted further information about the song, the 'The Real Slim Shady' rapper explained: "The way that he took it was…that I don’t f*** with him."
In 2020, Snoop, 50, took it one step further when he disagreed on Eminem's status as being one of the 10 greatest rappers of all time.
Speaking to The Breakfast Club back in 2020, Snoop dubbed Dre as the 'the dopest producer in hip-hop' before citing his protege Eminem as a testament to his talent.
"Eminem! ‘The Great White Hope’. White rappers had zero respect in rap. Let’s keep that one thou-wow," Snoop said.
"[Dre] has probably put Eminem in the position where he would be considered one of the top 10 rappers ever.
"I don’t think so, but the game feels like that he’s top 10 lyricists and all that that comes with it. That’s just because he’s with Dr. Dre. and Dr. Dre helped him find the best Eminem that he could find," the 'Drop It Like It's Hot' rapper revealed. When Eminem called him 'disrespectful' in an interview, Snoop hit back, dubbing his comments 'soft a** s***'.
The 'Lose Yourself' rapper then fired back on his track 'Zeus' which appeared on the deluxe edition of his eleventh studio album Music To Be Murdered By.
His lyrics read: "Last thing I need is Snoop doggin’ me / Man, Dogg, you was like a damn god to me / Meh, not really / I had dog backwards."
However, everything changed when things went south for the pair's mutual friend.
Upon getting light of the news that Dre, 57, was hospitalised due a brain aneurysm as ICU doctors prepared for his death last January - the pair were prompted to drop their beef.
"When that thing happened with Dre, we were like, ‘Bro, this is stupid,'" Eminem recounted.
He continued: "This is stupid as hell to be feuding right now."
Since moving past the feud, the two have made multiple appearances together including at the Super Bowl Half-Time show earlier this year and the VMA's in August, last month.
