Eminem recently dropped his latest album Kamikaze without warning, and tonight he released the first part of an interview with Sway Calloway. During the segment, the Detroit rapper discussed why he chose the surprise release strategy for the project and described dealing with criticism from the hip-hop community. Toward the end of the clip, there is a teaser for the next part, in which Eminem addresses his beefs with Joe Budden and Machine Gun Kelly.
Regarding the latter rapper, Eminem said he discovered MGK’s comments about his daughter Hailie while going down a YouTube wormhole:
So I see, ‘Machine Gun Kelly talks about Eminem’s daughter’ or whatever, right? So I’m like, ‘What the fuck?’ I clicked on it. Then he starts doing a press run, basically, about Hailie. I’m like, ‘What the fuck. Yo, my man better chill.’ So, that’s not why I dissed him. The reason I dissed him is actually a lot more petty than that. Now, I’m in this fucking weird thing because I’m like, ‘I gotta answer this motherfucker.’
Although the teaser clip cuts off at the end of the quote, it sounds like Eminem has a response track in the works. Earlier this week, Eminem’s frequent collaborator Mr. Porter assured fans that the Shady Records boss is plotting his next move:
It's safe to say Eminem is working on a MGK diss track, my biased opinion wants to tell Kelly to go join Patrick Star under his rock in Bikini Bottom.
Let's be real, do we expect anything mediocre from Em? I don't.
When Eminem dropped his surprise album Kamikaze, he went at MGK noticing he commented about his daughter.
In part 1 of his interview with Sway he says, ‘Machine Gun Kelly talks about Eminem’s daughter’ or whatever, right? So I’m like, ‘What the fuck?’ I clicked on it. Then he starts doing a press run, basically, about Hailie. I’m like, ‘What the fuck. Yo, my man better chill.’ So, that’s not why I dissed him. The reason I dissed him is actually a lot more petty than that. Now, I’m in this fucking weird thing because I’m like, ‘I gotta answer this motherfucker.’
