Machine Gun Kelly to Eminem: ‘This is a battle between past and future’

Written by on September 18, 2018

Eminem just escalated his ongoing feud with Machine Gun Kelly.

One day after the Kamikaze rapper, 45, admitted he wanted “to destroy”Kelly, 28, during an interview with Sway Calloway, he released a savage diss track of his own aimed towards the significantly younger rapper.

“#Killshot,” Eminem wrote on Twitter on Friday afternoon, sharing a link to the song alongside album artwork that appeared to depict a cartoon version of Kelly’s face in the crosshairs of a weapon, with his eyes covered by two red Xs.

“You sound like a bi**h,” Eminem rapped in the first lines of the track, before starting off with a relatively benign remark about the musician’s sense of style.

“How you gonna name yourself after a damn gun and have a man bun?” he continued, later adding, “I’d rather be 80-year-old me than 20-year-old you.”

The bad blood began when Slim Shady discovered that the “Bad Things” rapper had said some less-than-gentlemanly words about his beloved daughter, Hailie Scott, a few years ago.

“Ok so I just saw a picture of Eminem’s daughter… and I have to say, she is hot as f—, in the most respectful way possible cuz Em is king,” Kelly reportedly tweeted in 2012.

The long-running rap feud was reignited last week with the release of Eminem’s “Kamikaze,” which included a jab at the Ohio rapper.

MGK’s “Rap Devil,” a cynical nod to Eminem’s song “Rap God,” arrived a few days later, blasting Em on multiple fronts, from his age (45) to his beard to his longtime Detroit cohorts, including rapper Trick Trick.
