Nas talks Eminem turning down “Daughters” collab

Posted on By

Legendary Nas recently sat down with Joe Budden to discuss his latest album Light-Years in collaboration with DJ Premier. Speaking on his thought process on some of these records, and with Budden picking his brains as part of the exclusive interview, Nas revealed a detail that may be shocking for some. BUT, this was already known for core Eminem fanbase.

Back in the days, Nas reached out to Eminem for a feature on his song ‘Daughters,’ only to receive a respectful rejection on Em’s end. Shedding light on the situation, Nas revealed exactly how the conversation went down.

“Every record I do is not a battle. I remember I had sent the song ‘Daughters’ to Eminem, and at the time, you know, he had spent so much time speaking on daughters, he was like, ‘Thank you, but I told my daughter I’m not doing any more songs directly about daughters at the moment because that’s a sensitive issue with all the music I put out.’” said Nas,

“But he was like, ‘Thank you, ’cause most people wanna do songs where they’re battling me. It was refreshing to get a record where you’re not coming for me.’” Nas added. You can watch the interview below:
