Nelly Opens Up About Early 2000s Misunderstanding with Eminem

Nelly and Eminem have long since squashed any beef remaining between them, but that wasn’t always the case.

Nelly says the tension he dealt with regarding a rivalry with Eminem in the early 2000s was the result of a miscommunication and the two have long since made amends. He discussed their relationship during a new interview with Bootleg Kev.

“Miscommunication,” he said of the feud. “I misinterpreted something when I was really new, and I wanted to apologise to him. I misinterpreted that he had something to say about what we were doing. When I went on MTV, I made some comments because, you know, I’m still fresh from Louis. But that wasn’t the case. Em is the GOAT. He’s so dope.” From there, he recalled running into Eminem at an event in Detroit. “Somebody came and was like, ‘Yo, Em wants to come through and holler.’ I’m like, ‘Okay.’ Then he came in, and he’s such a dope cat. He had Hailie with him, she was young. And he was like, ‘Yo, man, my daughter.’ I felt like a d*ck. Because we were Eminem fans! I’m glad we got that out of the way. It’s f*cked up when [it’s like that with] people that you f*ck with and that you admire. Yo, dude spits! I’m glad we squashed that,” he said.

Nelly & Eminem Rivalry

While Eminem and Nelly never broke out into a fully fledged feud, there was a bit of a cold war between them in the early 2000s as they both dominated the charts. Nelly initially believed Eminem had been throwing shots at him and called him out while serving as a guest host on TRL, which only made the rumors of a beef between them worse. “I don’t play with candy, I eat M&Ms,” he remarked at the time.

Elsewhere in Nelly’s new interview with Bootleg Kev, he discussed his relationship with Ashanti. The two famously dated from 2003 to 2013 before getting back together a decade later. They’ve since gotten married and welcomed their first son, Kareem Kenkaide Haynes. Nelly explained to Kev that the decision to get married came quickly after learning Ashanti was pregnant. “Once we found out that she was pregnant, I was just like yeah… We hadn’t talked about any of that yet,” he said. “But I was like, ‘Yo, you know what. Let’s just knock this out because we’re gonna be doing so much, and everything’s moving so fast.’ And I didn’t want her to be a 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 mama.”

Iman Shumpert Goes Off on Aaron Pierre: The Shocking Fallout of Teyana Taylor’s New Romance!

In a dramatic turn of events, former NBA player Iman Shumpert has found himself embroiled in a public feud after his estranged wife, Teyana Taylor, was spotted getting close with British actor Aaron Pierre. The two made headlines following their appearance together at various Hollywood events, including the recent Oscars, where Taylor shared a striking photo of them with the caption, “Oscar KN in black and white no gray area.” This bold declaration of their relationship was met with mixed reactions, particularly from Shumpert, who reportedly has been struggling with jealousy since their split. Sources reveal that Shumpert was far from pleased about Taylor’s new romance, allegedly going so far as to confront Pierre at an Oscars afterparty. The confrontation ended without incident, but reports indicate that Pierre took precautionary measures by filing a restraining order against Shumpert, highlighting the escalating tension between the two men. The backstory of Shumpert and Taylor’s relationship is fraught with complications. The couple’s marriage has faced numerous challenges, including allegations of infidelity on Shumpert’s part. Taylor has previously defended him against these accusations, asserting that their separation was not due to cheating but rather a culmination of emotional and psychological issues that plagued their relationship. Despite her efforts to protect Shumpert’s image, the narrative shifted dramatically when details about his alleged extramarital activities began to surface. As the drama unfolded, Taylor’s public appearances with Pierre have further fueled speculation about Shumpert’s emotional state. Reports suggest he never anticipated that Taylor would find happiness so quickly after their separation, leading to feelings of bitterness and resentment. This has reportedly prompted Shumpert to consider pursuing custody of their two children, a move that some view as retaliatory given his past parenting missteps. The situation has taken on a life of its own, with social media users and tabloids dissecting every detail. Taylor’s recent Instagram posts with Pierre have painted a picture of newfound happiness, contrasting sharply with Shumpert’s ongoing struggles. As the couple finalizes their divorce, Taylor appears to be securing her financial independence, reportedly walking away with multiple properties and a significant settlement. In a shocking twist, Taylor’s disclosure of Shumpert’s alleged negligence as a father has raised eyebrows, particularly given his attempts to question her parenting abilities. This irony has not gone unnoticed, as many reflect on the complexities of their relationship and the challenges they faced. As the public watches this unfolding drama, it becomes increasingly clear that the road ahead for both Shumpert and Taylor will be anything but smooth. With tensions high and emotions raw, the story is far from over. Fans and observers alike are left wondering how this will all play out as they continue to navigate their new realities.
