The war of words betweenEminemandMachine Gun Kellyis heating up.
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 back.
“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,” hereportedly tweetedin 2012.
It took a few years for Em to get wind of it, but when he did he flew into Angry Dad Mode — firing shots at Kelly on “Not Alike,” a track off his new“surprise” albumKamikaze.

“And I’m talkin’ to you, but you already know who the f— you are, Kelly/I don’t use sublims and sure as f— don’t sneak-diss/But keep commenting on my daughter Hailie,” he rapped on the song.
Kelly, 28,fired back days later, dropping the song “Rap Devil” just days later. On the track, he claims Eminem, 45, had him barred from his radio channel, Shade 45, among other accusations.
“Mad about something I said in 2012 / Took you six years and a surprise album just to come with a diss / Homie we get it, we know that you’re the greatest rapper alive / F—ing dweeb, all you do is read the dictionary and stay inside,” he rapped.
“Yeah I’ll acknowledge you’re the GOAT / But I’m the Gunner bitch, I got you in the scope (Brra) / Don’t have a heart attack now (No) / Somebody help your mans up (Help) / Knees weak of old age / The real Slim Shady can’t stand up.”
“im standing up for not just myself, but my generation,” he explained on Twitter soon after the song’s release. “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.”
“It never hit my radar and then one day, you know, you go down the f—ing wormhole of YouTube or whatever right? So I see ‘Machine Gun Kelly talks about Eminem’s daughter.’ So, I’m like ‘What the f—?’ I click on it…he starts doing a press run basically about Hailie. I’m like, ‘What the f—? Yo, my man better chill.'”

“The reason I dissed him is actually a lot more petty than that. The reason that I dissed him is… first what 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 f— about your career. You think I actually f—ing think about you? You know how many f—ing rappers are better than you? You’re not even in the f—ing conversation.”
Eminem elaborated on what he considers the Catch-22 of rap feuds — wanting to get the last word in without giving the “enemy” extra publicity.
