Background and promotion
A brief feud between Snoop Dogg and Eminem was sparked in July 2020 after Snoop appeared on The Breakfast Club and insinuated that Eminem's success was solely because of Eminem's mentor, Dr. Dre. In response, Eminem took jabs at Snoop on the song "Zeus" from his album Music to Be Murdered By – Side B in December 2020. In January 2021, Snoop Dogg responded to Eminem's comments on Instagram, writing, "Pray I don't answer that soft ass shit." In October 2021, Snoop stated that he and Eminem had ended the feud, with Snoop admitting he now felt that his original remarks were "out of pocket". The two performed together at the Super Bowl LVI halftime show in February 2022. On June 24, 2022, Eminem released a tweet promoting the single and its accompanying video. The post included the single's cover art, which depicts the two rappers as cartoon monkeys in a comic book style, a reference to their connection to the Bored Ape NFT collection. Music video
