(AllHipHop News) Once again social media and the blogosphere was lit with reactions and responses after audio of Hot 97’s Ebro Darden claiming a potential Eminem vs Drake feud could ignite the internet.
In the clip, Ebro recalls a supposed conversation he had with Drake about Joe Budden, and the discussion eventually included a mention of Em.
“I told Drake that I heard the rumor was that Eminem was going to gear up to come after him,” said Ebro. “He laughed and was like, ‘That’s not going to happen. He’d never do that. And if he did, I got something for him to.'”

Twitter exploded with users debating what would happen if the two platinum-selling rappers went head-to-head. As a result, Eminem was a trending topic on the platform for hours.
But was Ebro just trolling with his claims about Drake and Eminem? His own tweets seem to suggest that was the case. One tweet stated, “It was such a joke and people ran with it.”
It was such a joke and people ran with it… Slow news day. Drake got too much respect for all that… https://t.co/fzq1WnwRbb

Facts we was joking…
Talked about in jest & fools jumped out the window. I ain’t even think it was a big deal https://t.co/xBbWkzjXMN— El Viejo Ebro (@oldmanebro) August 4, 2016
Individuals connected to Eminem also came out to offer hints that the Drizzy/Slim Shady battle scenario was extremely far-fetched.
Em’s manager Paul Rosenberg as well as Slaughterhouse members Royce da 5’9″, Joe Budden, Kxng Crooked, and Joell Ortiz each posted messages on Twitter that seemed to be related to the topic.
“Slow news day I see,” wrote Rosenberg.
Slow news day I see.

Wild rumors out here.. Plus it’s hard to believe that anybody would invite Eminem to make diss songs about them..
