Eminem popped up from under the stage
Rumors on radio and the Internet had been circulating in the past weeks that Eminem and Canadian rapper Drake were beefing.
That may have been put to rest when hometown celeb Eminem made a surprise appearance at Joe Louis Tuesday night before a a sold-out crowd for a Drake concert in what appeared to be a show of solidarity, the Detroit News' Adam Graham reports.
Graham writes:
After Drake ran through his verse on “Forever,” the only song on which the two artists have ever appeared, Drake primed the crowd with a promise he had been making all night. "You work with me, I work with you," he told the crowd.
Eminem then shocked the Joe by rising from beneath the stage and charging through his breathless verse on the 2009 track. Fans, already amped up from Drake’s energetic set as it hit the two-hour mark, collectively lost it as seemingly everyone whipped out their phones to capture the moment on their preferred means of social networking.
Drake excitedly bounced around the stage as Em cleanly spat his words, at one point mimicking shooting a basketball. He was every bit as hyped as the crowd.
