Los Angeles, CA — Leave it to Eminem to take birthday shenanigans to the next level. The rap icon recently pulled off a legendary prank on none other than his longtime friend and collaborator, Snoop Dogg — and the internet can’t stop talking about it.

According to sources close to the two hip-hop giants, Snoop Dogg thought he was being treated to an all-expenses-paid yacht party in Miami for his birthday, courtesy of Slim Shady himself. What he didn’t know? The yacht, the catering, the open bar, and even the live DJ — were all technically booked under his own name… and his own credit card.

The Setup

Eminem reportedly told Snoop he had “a little something” planned to celebrate his birthday — just a low-key gathering, “nothing too fancy.” What Snoop walked into, however, was a full-blown luxury bash: a multi-deck mega-yacht, champagne fountains, celebrity guests, and even a custom cake shaped like a giant blunt.

Eminem made a grand entrance mid-party and toasted to “Snoop’s generosity,” before handing him what appeared to be an envelope of lyrics — but was actually the bill.

The Reveal

Witnesses say Snoop’s reaction was a mix of disbelief, laughter, and a few colorful curse words. “You got me good, Em,” he reportedly said, shaking his head. “Real good.”

The total cost of the “gift”? An eye-watering $250,000 — all charged to Snoop’s platinum card.

Reactions Pour In

Fans and celebrities have flooded social media with reactions, hailing Eminem as the prank king. Memes of Snoop looking shocked with fake dollar signs floating around have gone viral, and hashtags like #YachtGate and #SnoopGotShady’d are trending on X (formerly Twitter).

Even 50 Cent chimed in, writing on Instagram:

“Snoop just funded his own party and didn’t even know. I’m dead 😂”

No Hard Feelings

Despite the massive surprise, sources confirm there’s no bad blood between the two stars. In fact, Snoop has reportedly already gotten his revenge — though he’s keeping the details under wraps. “It’s coming,” he teased during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. “He won’t see it coming.”


Bottom Line?
Only someone like Eminem could turn a birthday celebration into a $250,000 viral moment. One thing’s for sure: the next time Slim Shady says “don’t worry, I got this,” read the fine print.
