LONDON, UK – Eminem, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg joined forces for a special performance in London in front of famous faces like LeBron James.
Snoop and Dre were in town to launch their Gin & Juice beverage in the U.K. and capped off the release party with a short concert.
After being introducedto the stage by Shaquille O’Neal, the rap legends performed a number of hits such as “The Next Episode,” “Drop It Like It’s Hot” and “Nuthin’ But a G Thang” before surprising the crowd by bringing out Eminem.
Em’s cameo was brief but memorable as he performed his recent single “Houdini,” as well as his and Dre’s classic 2001 collaboration “Forgot About Dre.”
It marked the first time in over two years that the trio had shared the stage following their all-star Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2022 which also included appearances from Kendrick Lamar, 50 Cent, Mary J. Blige and Anderson .Paak.

LeBron James was seen in the crowd for the historic moment, as was actor Idris Elba, English soccer star Jude Bellingham, The Queen’s Gambit star Anya Taylor-Joy, Liverpool captain Virgin Van Dijk and Little Mix singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock.
Eminem had already been spotted in London to promote his new album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) at a pop-up event in English capital.
The somewhat controversial project is poised to make a big splash on the Billboard charts, judging by its first-week sales projections.
HITS Daily Double reports that the project is expected to earn between 270,000 and 290,000 album-equivalent units in its opening week.
This would secure Em a No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200, dethroning Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department after a dominant 12 consecutive weeks atop the chart.
It would also mark the Detroit rap legend’s 11th No. 1 album, putting him level with Kanye West, Bruce Springsteen and Barbra Streisand. Only Drake (13), Swift (14), JAY-Z (also 14) and The Beatles (19) have had more albums reach the top spot on the chart.
