Nelly Addresses Past Eminem Feud: 'I Misinterpreted Something'

Nelly recently opened up about his past feud with Eminem, attributing it to a "miscommunication" early in his career. During an interview on The Bootleg Kev podcast, the "Hot in Herre" rapper, now 50, apologized to Eminem and explained how their falling-out began. According to Nelly, his initial misunderstanding led him to believe Eminem made negative comments about him, which he addressed jokingly on MTV’s Total Request Live by stating, "I don’t play with candy. I eat M&Ms." The error surfaced when both rappers were at their career peaks in the early 2000s. This is prepared by SSP.

Their relationship took a positive turn at an event in Detroit, where they met face-to-face, and Eminem introduced his young daughter, Hailie. Nelly recalled feeling regretful for the mistaken feud, realizing he and many others were fans of Eminem, whom he praises as "the GOAT." Eminem and Nelly have since reconciled, disbanding any rumors of animosity. Looking back, both artists have acknowledged each other in their works, with Eminem referencing Nelly in his later songs.

In the same interview, Nelly touched on reconnecting with Ashanti, whom he famously dated for a decade. Following a rekindled relationship, they married after Ashanti's pregnancy was revealed, a move Nelly described as essential due to their rapidly changing dynamics. Both Nelly's tour, celebrating 25 years of Country Grammar, and Eminem's recent album, signify their ongoing influence in music.
