Machine Gun Kelly Blames Eminem for Career Struggles—Eminem Fires Back!
In a recent twist in their long-standing feud, Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) made headlines by claiming, “It’s all Eminem’s fault!” in reference to the challenges he’s faced in his music career. Unsurprisingly, the rap icon Eminem didn’t hold back, delivering a fiery response that reignited the rivalry and sent fans into a frenzy.
MGK’s Blame Game
During a candid interview, MGK vented his frustration, implying that Eminem’s influence has negatively impacted his trajectory in the rap industry.
“The way people look at me now, it’s all because of him. He painted a picture of me that I can’t escape from.”
The feud, which dates back to 2018 when MGK released the diss track “Rap Devil” in response to Eminem’s “Not Alike”, has remained a hot topic in hip-hop. MGK’s latest remarks suggest he feels his shift to pop-punk and alternative music was partly driven by Eminem’s shadow in the rap world.
Eminem’s Blistering Response
Never one to back down, Eminem addressed MGK’s comments in a social media post, showcasing his signature wit and sharp tongue.
“Blame me all you want, but last I checked, I’m not the one who switched genres. Stay mad, kid.”
Fans quickly took to the internet to share their reactions, with many siding with Eminem, pointing out MGK’s drastic change in style and persona since their beef began.
The History of Their Feud
The rivalry started when MGK commented on Eminem’s daughter Hailie in a tweet, which Eminem later addressed in his album Kamikaze. This sparked a heated back-and-forth, culminating in both rappers releasing diss tracks that captured the attention of the music world. Eminem’s “Killshot” remains one of the most viewed rap battle tracks on YouTube.
Fans Weigh In
Social media exploded with reactions, with fans debating whether MGK’s claims hold any merit. While some argue that Eminem’s diss damaged MGK’s reputation as a rapper, others believe MGK’s genre shift has allowed him to thrive in a new space, independent of his beef with Eminem.
What’s Next?
As the feud flares up again, it remains to be seen whether MGK will respond to Eminem’s latest jab. With both artists known for their lyrical prowess, fans are eager to see if this rivalry will lead to another round of diss tracks—or if it’s simply another chapter in their heated history.
For now, one thing is clear: the Eminem vs. MGK saga is far from over.
