When it comes to the rap game, Eminem is one of the top artists of all time. The ‘Rap God’ revolutionized the rap world with his quick flow and bars. However, through the years he has made some enemies. Notably, he dismantled Machine Gun Kelly after the rapper made a diss track. But that wasn’t going to be the case when he tried to pull a joke on Michael Jordan.

In his time in the NBA, Jordan made his name as the most ruthless competitor. His scary aura had teams in fear even before the game began. His willingness to win is what put him at the apex of the mountain among NBA greats.

But what happened when the GOAT of NBA and GOAT of Rap almost got into a competition?

Eminem spoke about the time he was scared when he tried to pull a joke on MJ.

Eminem said he will dunk on Michael Jordan

While speaking to Jordan on the phone, Eminem was close to finishing his deal for the sneaker collaboration. However, he almost ruined his chances right at the end. The Detroit native went on to tell MJ that he could dunk on him. And His Airness’ reaction had the Rap God on skates.

He said, “Everything was cool like he is super cool. Everything was good until we get to the end of the phone call when I said ‘Yo man, when you going to come to Detroit so I can dunk on you.’ And it was crickets. I don’t remember exactly what he said but he just kind of was like laughing. And I remember getting off the phone and going ‘Oh my god, I think I might have just blew it’.”
