Manning recently went viral for his “mic-drop moment” trolling Brady in a rap during the Pro Bowl.
But the two NFL legends were seen happily chatting at Michael Rubin and Casey Wasserman’s annual Super Bowl VIP luncheon, we hear.
Manning’s rap diss was part of a Pro Bowl bit with Supa Hot Fire, a comic that parodies rap battles.
Manning, of course, has previously beaten Brady’s New England Patriots two times in the Super Bowl, and also won MVP honors both times.
Brady has previously thrown some playful shade Manning’s way during their fun rivalry. He quipped in an interview last year, “Do I think the NFL is scripted? You think I would really have played along with a script that had me losing to Peyton’s little brother Eli twice in the Super Bowl?”

Eli Manning showed off his surprising rap skills.
Also at Rubin and Wasserman’s Las Vegas lunch at Lavo on Friday were 49ers CEO Jed York and Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, who spies told us were friendly at the power powwow, even though their teams will face off for the NFL title on Sunday.
A source said the pair were overheard insisting to guests, “We’re friends!”

Meanwhile, CBS morning host Gayle King was asking guests their predictions for the game, since, “I have to talk about it on Monday,” we hear.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell was spotted talking to California governor Gavin Newsom.
Spies said that Brady was also having a Boston brodown with Patriots owner Robert Kraft and movie star Mark Wahlberg, and Ari Emanuel was seen chatting with Rubin, UFC boss Dana White and Endeavor president Mark Shapiro.
