(AllHipHop News) It was certainly inevitable that attention would be placed back on Hot 97’s Ebro Darden after news began circulating that Drake and Eminem shared the stage together last night in Detroit.

Ebro was at the center of the rumors that Em and Drizzy were likely to diss each other in the near future.
The New York City morning show host would later claim his supposed conversation with Drake – which allegedly included talk of a potential battle between the two superstars – was just a joke.
That explanation did not stop online users from blasting Ebro for what they saw as a purposely misleading report. Even Drake took aim at Darden and his radio station for the comments.
Ebro took to social media to share his reaction to the Drake/Eminem performance. An Instagram post featuring a photo of the “Forever” collaborators was joined by a caption that simply had multi-colored hands emojis and a winking face emoji.
Twitter was also lit with people slamming Ebro. He actually retweeted some of the responses to his own timeline.
