Eminem and Snoop Dogg brought the metaverse to the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night (August 28).

The rap icons joined forces for a mind-bending performance of their “From the D 2 the LBC” collaboration inside New Jersey’s Prudential Center, which played host to this year’s annual celebration of music videos.

The performance began with real-life Em and Snoop sat next to each other on a couch as Snoop’s larger-than-life joint soon gave Shady a contact high. “Yo man, I feel like you’re getting me high again, bro,” Em commented before the pair were thrust into the metaverse.

From there, the “Bitch Please II” duo morphed into digital Bored Ape versions of themselves and navigated the virtual realm before making their way back to the VMAs stage to close out the psychedelic performance.
