Historically, rappers have been known to throw jabs back and forth, usually over catchy beats. And while Mark Wahlberg’s rapping past is a distant memory today, he found himself at odds with his rap peer right after he changed career paths. Back in 1999, both stars appeared on “TRL” together and Eminem appeared to shade Wahlberg’s rapping past. According to Far Out Magazine, Eminem reportedly greeted Wahlberg on camera by saying, “Well, why don’t we stand together like a happy fun bunch.” It would seem that Eminem’s comments were in reference to Wahlberg’s former group, Mark Wahlberg and the Funky Bunch, which Wahlberg interpreted as an insult.

As noted by Insider, Wahlberg appeared to hit back at the “Lose Yourself” rapper by calling him an a**hole in response. With that said, Wahlberg and Eminem have since gotten over their petty feud. When responding to a fan’s inquiry about Eminem mentioning him in a song during a GQ interview, Wahlberg said, “I hadn’t met Eminem before I heard that song. And then I met him at an MTV event; we hung out. Very cool guy. Very talented. And yes, I didn’t give him credit for that a long time ago. I was a hater, ’cause he’s a better rapper than me.”
