Machine Gun Kelly Vs Eminem Beef

Hello, and welcome to the celebrity feud you never knew you needed. No, I'm not talking about Nicki Minaj and Cardi B—I'm talking about the beef between Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly, who are approximately two diss tracks and one public brawl away from throwing Louboutins. So why do Eminem and MGK hate each other so much? In the words of Hilary Duff:

Machine Gun Kelly, then 22, tweets that Eminem's then-16-year-old daughter, Hailie, is "hot as fuck." Which, to be clear, is super-duper gross:

October 19, 2015

MGK claims he was banned from radio stations because of his tweet about Hailie. Here he is talking on Hot 97 FM about the effect that tweet had on his career:

"Pictures of [Hailie] had came out, and I'm, like, what, 20 years old, 21 at the time? I said, 'She's beautiful, but all respect due. Eminem is king.' What's wrong with that? Is there a 15-year age gap where I'm a creep for that? I was 21, dawg. Certain people took it and ran with it and hyped it up....Certain people won't even listen or review [my album]. Certain places, you won't even hear Machine Gun Kelly on."

Machine Gun Kelly low-key shades Eminem on Tech N9ne's song "No Reason." The following verse is apparently a direct reference to his rival's (aka Eminem) song "Rap God":

I pop cherries and pop stars, you popsicles is not hard
Popped in on the top charts out the cop car
To remind y'all you just rap, you're not God
And I don't care who got bars

August 21, 2018

Eminem drops his new album Kamikaze, and after six long years, he finally calls out MGK for the comments he made about Hailie on the track "Not Alike."

But next time you don't gotta use Tech N9ne 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

August 31, 2018

Tech N9ne removes himself from the narrative and denies knowing MGK was dissing Eminem on his track (suuure, friend):

September 3, 2018

Machine Gun Kelly releases another Eminem diss track called "Rap Devil," which is, IDK, fine, I guess, and includes lyrics like:

Took you six years and a surprise album just to come with a diss

and...

Tough talk from a rapper paying millions for security a year
'I think my dad's gone crazy,' yeah, Hailie, you right
Dad's always mad cooped up in the studio yelling at the mic
You're sober and bored, huh (I know)
About to be 46 years old, dog

September 12, 2018

Eminem sits down for an interview with Sway Calloway and chats about the time he saw MGK's tweet about his daughter. (Yep, we're still talking about that saaame tweet.) "One day, you know, you go down a fucking wormhole on YouTube or whatever," he says. "I see 'Machine Gun Kelly Talks About Eminem's Daughter' or whatever. I'm like, 'What the fuck?' I click on it…he starts doing a press run, basically, about Hailie. I'm like, 'What the fuck? Yo, my man better chill.'"

He then proceeds to slam his rival, saying, "The reason I dissed him is actually a lot more petty than that. The reason that I dissed him is because he got on—first he said, 'I'm the greatest rapper alive since my favorite rapper banned me from Shade 45' or whatever he said, right? Like I'm trying to hinder his career. I don't give a fuck about your career. You think I actually fucking think about you? You know how many fucking rappers are better than you? You're not even in the fucking conversation."

September 14, 2018

Eminem releases "Killshot," a giant MGK diss track that's filled with burns—including this gem:

Here's that autograph for your daughter, I wrote it on a Starter cap
Stan, son, listen, man, dad isn't mad
But how you gonna name yourself after a damn gun and have a man bun?

MGK responds on Twitter, mocking Eminem for taking so long to return the diss:

September 17, 2018

MGK shows up to his slot at Fall Out Boy's concert wearing Eminem's "Killshot" art on a shirt. Wow, ~edgy~.

(Psst: He was booed during his performance of "Rap Devil," which, well, yikes.)

September 19, 2018

Fans on Twitter whip out a bunch of receipts and attempt to prove that this entire beef has been staged, including allegations that MGK and Eminem are on the same record label and share a producer:

Some fans even speculate that "Rap Devil" was actually uploaded months ago but set to private. Freaky.

September 20, 2018

Eminem drags Rihanna into his feud with MGK by name-dropping her in his latest diss track. The lyrics are as follows: "Rihanna just hit me on a text / Last night I left hickeys on her neck." Wha??

In case you're like, Truly, WTF is going on right now, Eminem's lyrics are in direct response to a verse in Machine Gun Kelly's diss track "Rap Devil," where he shades Eminem by rapping, "The type to be scared to ask Rihanna for her number." Safe to say that fans are not happy about RiRi's mention.

September 21, 2018

This is the song that neverrrrr ends. Your boy MGK just trashed his nemesis Eminem once again, this time in an interview with The Breakfast Club. You see, MGK is deeply offended that Eminem refuses to talk to him. "He doesn't want to have a conversation," the rapper ~~complained~~ explained maturely. "Fuck you. You blew it. You blew it. It's cool till it ain't. I wish he would shut the fuck up." Yikes. Tell us how you really feel, MGK!

October 3, 2018

TMZ got its hands on a video of MGK's "crew" allegedly beating up Gabriel "G-Rod" Rodriguez, who is an actor and called MGK a pussy because of his tweet about Hailie. The incident seems to begin with Gabriel putting a camera in MGK's face and confronting him even though MGK tells him to get out of his face and that he's "not cool with that sh*t." And a few hours later, MGK's "crew" allegedly confronted Gabriel at a hotel and beat him up.

January 17, 2020

And here we thought 2022 would be different. Eminem surprise-dropped a new album called Music to Be Murdered By and couldn't resist comparing himself to God and talking about MGK in his "Unaccommodating" song. He rapped:

I won't topple, I'm giving it to anyone who wanna come and get it and I'm not gonna stop
But when they ask me is the war finished with MGK? Of course it is
I cleansed him of his mortal sins, I'm God and the Lord forgives even the devil worshippers
I'm moving on but you know your scruples are gone when you're born with Lucifer's horns

Aaand that brings us up to date! I'm going to go eat some chocolate and listen to anything but these two men.
