They fell out spectacularly in 2007 when Oprah Winfrey hit out at Snoop Dogg for being a driving force behind misogyny in hip-hop. 

However, the duo have now put their feud firmly behind them and posed for a smiling picture at an Oscars party in Los Angeles on Friday night. 

Proud Snoop even posted the picture, which also featured Oprah's best friend Gayle King, on his Instagram page and labelled it 'Black history'.

The happy snap shows how relations have thawed between the pair in recent years. 

Oprah did an episode of her chat show in 2007 about misogyny in hip-hop and labelled Snoop as one of the main offenders. 

However, he was furious that the talk-show queen didn’t offer him the chance to come on the programme to defend himself and insisted he was no longer a fan of hers. 

He said: 'I don't like her no more.

'I really was offended, because I kind of like her. Liked her. 

'I'm very articulate, very intellectual. She didn't even get a chance to even know me.'

Meanwhile, Oprah recently revealed that her pal Gayle thought it was hilarious that she received a lifetime achievement award for her film work earlier this month.

The chat show doyen admitted her journalist comrade could not stop cackling when she told her she was picking up the highly coveted Montecito Award as part of the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.

Previous recipients include Annette Bening, Naomi Watts, Javier Bardem, Kate Winslet, Julianne Moore, Geoffrey Rush and Daniel Day-Lewis.

Oprah said: 'Gayle called me this afternoon and she's like, "I heard your getting some award?" I said, "yeah its a Montecito Award," and she said "for what?"

'I said for my body of work. She said, "for the Oprah show?" I said, "no for my film work," and she started howling.

'Not LOLing but howling. She goes, "I think that's a big stretch." I said, "Gayle I've done at least five films."'

Multi-billionaire Oprah was given the expensive paperweight for a cinematic body of work that includes 1985's The Color Purple and last year's hit Lee Daniels' The Butler.

Well hurrah and hurrah, that's a relief. I was getting a bit concerned about these two. One or two sleepless nights worrying about it. Pathetic
