Among the stories “how I first met Eminem”, Ed Sheeran takes the prize for the nerdiest one. They met in the studio but did not even get to making music because they talked too much.
The English singer/songwriter opened up about this experience in his interview with Apple Music. Prompted by the question is he remembers how it felt to step into the studio with Eminem to make music with him, Ed responded:
Yeah. It was in Detroit, and I was playing a gig in Detroit. And yeah, I arrived, and he’s got loads of games consoles there. He loves games. I actually bought him a Nintendo 64 with GoldenEye on it as a gift. Yeah. I just stepped in there. Actually, the first time we met, we didn’t make music. I hung out there for about four hours, and we just spoke Marvel and Avengers for about four hours. And then the next time I went back, we made a tune. The first tune we made, I was in Mexico, and his producer flew to Mexico, and I did the hook there and stuff.
