N.O.R.E. revealed he had a conversation with JAY-Z, in which he says the Roc Nation executive explained how Eminem managed to get 50 Cent to be a part of the halftime show as a result of the bond the Detroit MC shares with the rapper-turned-TV producer.

“I said to JAY-Z, I have to ask this straight up,” N.O.R.E. recalled. “‘Who is gonna perform at the NFL?’ and he said to me—and I’m sorry for everybody who don’t understand—and he said, ‘the white guy called for 50 Cent,’” he recalled. “I said, ‘Who is the white guy? Jimmy Iovine?’ And he said, ‘No, Eminem called directly for Fifty and he said I can’t do it if I can’t bring 50 with me.’ That’s spiritual.”

Snoop Dogg appeared to be on the same page with N.O.R.E. and responded, “Of course, that’s his [Eminem’s] guy! And guess who’s Dre’s guy? It’s me!”

In addition to discussing the Super Bowl LVI Pepsi Halftime show, Snoop Dogg went on to speak on several topics including his ownership of the Death Row brand, working at Def Jam, the East Coast versus West Coast Hip Hop beef in the ’90s and more.
