It is a sign of strength to admit when you are wrong, and being a strong person, Snoop Dogg was not afraid to apologise to Em.
Now he is not afraid to detail the work he had to do to understand what was off in his statements last year and the conversation he had with Eminem. Snoop was the first to pick up the phone and seek forgiveness, the veteran rapper said to the Rolling Stone Music Now podcast:
I know how to call Marshall and say, man, I apologize. ‘I was wrong, bro. Do you forgive me?’ […] You got to understand we really love each other. So we don’t want the public to put a spin on something that’s not even that serious…. And we truly respect each other. So we wanted to get an understanding behind closed doors… We’re brothers, man. You know, my [real] brother hurt my feelings a lot of times — I wanted to join a gang and he wouldn’t let me!… You learn to understand and respect each other as brothers, as family members, and you respect each other’s opinions. And as long there was no disrespect directly or ill will, then it can all be forgiven and it can all be moving on.
Snoop talked about this conversation recently on the Breakfast Club show. Hopefully, now both GOATs can move forward, and fans can enjoy their music not muddled with controversy.
