During the past few days, there have been rumors going around regarding a feud between Eminem and Drake. On Tuesday, the "Hotline Bling" rapper ended these rumors by bringing out the "Rap God" artist onstage during a Summer Sixteen Tour concert in Detroit.
Drake surprised concert goers while performing his 2007 hit single "Forever," a song which, aside from Eminem, also features Lil Wayne and Kanye West. Without any introduction from Drake, Eminem emerged from underneath the stage through a trapdoor and immediately began rapping his part in the song.

After their performance, Drake commended the Detroit native and even referred to him as the greatest rapper.
"Detroit, make some noise for the greatest rapper that ever got on a motherf*cking microphone," the Canadian artist told the crowd.
Aside from treating fans to an unexpected performance from Eminem, the surprise appearance by the rapper at the concert also showed that there was no feud between him and Drake. As noted by Billboard, this rumored dispute began after Joe Budden, a member of Eminem's Slaughterhouse group and an artist signed under Shady Records, publicly criticized Drake's Views album.
This then led to back and forth with remarks from both rappers which the media and some fans of these artists translated as a feud. Budden's close connection to Eminem then led to rumors about the latter's issue with Drake.
Hopefully, Drake's recent live performance with Eminem will finally put an end to the rumors surrounding them.
