Snoop Dogg became furi0us the moment he saw the gift Eminem had brought for his 10-day-old grandson who had just p:assed away: “How dare you bring this here?”
In a deeply emotional and heartbreaking moment, rap legend Snoop Dogg was reportedly furious after fellow artist and longtime friend Eminem brought a gift to commemorate the short life of Snoop’s 10-day-old grandson, who tragically passed away last week. The emotional exchange took place at a private family memorial held in Los Angeles.
According to sources close to the family, what was meant to be a heartfelt gesture by Eminem quickly turned into an emotionally charged moment when Snoop Dogg saw what the rapper had brought — a hand-written letter and a small baby-sized hoodie emblazoned with the word “Survivor” in bold white letters.
Witnesses say Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Broadus Jr., was already in a fragile emotional state when Eminem arrived at the private memorial. Upon seeing the gift, Snoop reportedly became visibly upset and raised his voice in front of close family and friends, saying, “How dare you bring this here? What part of this feels okay to you?”
Sources say the hoodie was part of Eminem’s limited-edition merchandise line released earlier this year to raise awareness for premature birth survival. Eminem, born Marshall Mathers, allegedly had good intentions and wanted to show support for the family’s loss, unaware that the symbolism of the word “Survivor” would be so painful in light of the tragic outcome.
“This was never about disrespect,” a representative for Eminem told reporters. “Marshall wanted to express his deepest condolences in a way he thought would honor the child’s strength. He never intended to cause hurt.”
However, close friends of Snoop Dogg say the gift struck the wrong chord. One family member, who asked not to be named, told The Los Angeles Tribune, “Snoop was already barely holding it together. The word ‘Survivor’ on that hoodie just brought everything crashing down. It was like a cruel reminder of what didn’t happen.”
The baby boy, born prematurely to Snoop’s son Corde Broadus and his partner, had been struggling in neonatal intensive care before he passed away just ten days after birth. Corde confirmed the devastating news in an Instagram post last week, writing: “He died in my arms, and that’s all I can ask for. We gave him all the love we had.”
Though Snoop has remained mostly private in his grieving, he did post a short message to social media days before the memorial: “Broken doesn’t even begin to explain it. Rest in peace, Lil Man.”
This unfortunate misunderstanding has reportedly created tension between the two hip-hop icons, who have shared a long and complex history of both collaboration and rivalry. The two had mended their relationship in recent years, even appearing together in music projects and commercials.
“Em is heartbroken that his gesture caused pain,” a source close to him said. “He respects Snoop deeply and understands that grief can make emotions run high.”
As of now, there has been no public reconciliation between the two. Insiders say Snoop Dogg left the memorial early after the incident, choosing to spend time with his immediate family in private.
Grief counselors remind the public that people process loss differently, and what may seem like a kind gesture to one person can be deeply triggering to another. The tragic loss of a child, especially one so young, leaves emotional wounds that words — or gifts — can’t always heal.
Though the moment has left a rift between the two rap giants, those close to both hope that time and understanding can eventually mend the hurt.
