American rapper and singer Eminem took potshots and digs at a lot many people like American President Trump, Tyler, The Creator, Machine Gun Kelly etc. in his recently released surprise album ‘Kamikaze’. But what happens when someone declares war with the God of American Rap music, Eminem? That too someone who once considered him as his idol?
im standing up for not just myself, but my generation. im doing the same shit you did back in ur day. life is still real on my side, and i had to take time from the grind to defend myself from someone i called an idol. love, Rap Devil.

While many of them chose to not respond to the digs, Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) decided to give it back to the legend, going all gun blazing at him fearlessly with his diss track ‘Rap Devil’.

In the year 2012, MGK who was 21 that time had made not so very appropriate comment on Eminem’s daughter Hallie whose pictures had just surfaced the social media. Hallie who was 16 then, MGK in his tweet referred her “Hot as fuck, in the most respectful way possible cuz Em is king”, which created quite a stir and he received strong back lash from people for his inappropriateness. It also had a strong impact on his career.
Now after six years of the incident, Eminem took a pot shot at him in his Kamikaze album song ‘Not alike Ft. Royace Da 5’9″ where he goes ” If you wanna come at me with a sub, Machine Gun, And I’m talking to you, but you already know who the fuck you are, Kelly. I don’t use sublims and sure as fuck don’t sneak-diss, But keep commenting on my daughter Hallie, I keep on telling motherfuckers, but just in case you forgot really and need ja memories jarred like strawberry or pineapple, apricot jelly, I respond rarely, but this time shady ’bout to sound off'”
The diss track war has just begun and the fans just cant contain their excitement on this popcorn worthy battle between these two rappers. Till the time fans and spectators wait for Eminem to come back with an equally powerful response to MGK’s Diss, check out some of the reactions on twitter from the fans :
So Machine Gun Kelly had the nerves to take shots at the Rap God & Eminem is about to respond? Thank you MGK for reminding Eminem why we love him. #TeamEminem #RapGod pic.twitter.com/TPfxUkT7Hw

Machine Gun Kelly hitting Eminem harder than Chris hit Rihanna. This is why senior men should know when to keep quiet.

I’m team Eminem. Not just because he’s the one who paved the way for white rappers in the first place, but also because I just saw 3 guys that looked exactly like Machine Gun Kelly at the Chevron station

Even the die hard Eminem Stans have to admit the Machine Gun Kelly diss is pretty good. He drops a lot of facts on there. Plus dissing a guy like Eminem, Jay Z Drake etc is dangerous cos you can get blacklisted. Guys like that have real power in the industry not just on the mic
