Gin & Juice, a new line of alcoholic beverages owned by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, held a launch party last night (July 18) to celebrate the release of its canned cocktails in the country.
The event was hosted by Shaquille O’Neal, who brought out Dre and Snoop for a brief live set of fan favourites like ‘The Next Episode’, ‘Drop It Like It’s Hot’ and ‘Nuthin’ But A G Thang’.
Towards the end of the set, Dre welcomed to the stage Eminem, who performed the lead single from his latest album ‘The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce)’, alongside ‘2001’ cut ‘Forgot About Dre’. Watch footage of the night below shared by Eminem, along with fan footage.
The Dre and Snoop Instagram account also shared a picture of the trio backstage: “Slim Shady came thru,” it reads. Notable attendees that night include Idris Elba, Lebron James and Real Madrid player Jude Bellingham, per The Sun.

In NME’s three-star review of ‘The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce)’, Jordan Bassett writes: “Eminem is attempting to have it both ways here – to emulate his 2000s hits while lampooning Shady as a cultural relic who makes geriatric barbs at sensitive Gen Z-ers (as on ‘Trouble’), which enables him to say the same old thirstily provocative stuff.
“The extent to which he does so only overshadows the point he’s apparently trying to make,” he continues. “Much more powerful is ‘Temporary’, a genuinely moving ode to his daughter, Hailie, which proves Marshall Mathers can say something that matters when he wants to.”
