Nas has revealed that Eminem turned down a collaboration on his 2012 album Life is Good.
In a new interview with Joe Budden, the rapper said he attempted to tap Eminem for his single "Daughters," but the offer was declined.
"Every record I do is not a battle. I remember I sent the song 'Daughters' to Eminem and at the time he had spent so much time speaking on daughters, he was like, 'Thank you, but I told my daughter I'm not gonna do anymore songs directly about daughters at the moment because it's a sensitive issue with all the music I've put out,'" he said, alluding to songs like "Mockingbird" and "Hailie's Song."
"I think [his] message was like, 'Thank you 'cause most people want to do songs where they're battling me on a record. It was refreshing to get a record where you're not coming for me,'" Nas added.
The pair have collaborated only twice to date, the first time on "The Cross," produced by Eminem for Nas's 2002 album God's Son, and later on 2021's "EPMD 2," from Nas and Hit-Boy's King's Disease II.
