- Nas recounted that he sent Eminem a request to appear on a remix of his 2012 track “Daughters,” which Eminem respectfully declined.
- According to Nas, Eminem said he had told his daughter he would not record more songs directly about daughters at that time.
- Nas said Eminem thanked him for a request that wasn’t a competitive or “battle” record and called it refreshing.
- “Daughters,” from Nas’ Life Is Good album, focuses on his relationship with his daughter Destiny Jones.
