Eminem’s career has been marked by numerous feuds, but none more impactful than his clash with Machine Gun Kelly (MGK). Their feud, spanning nearly a decade, captivated the public and shook the rap industry. This narrative explores how Eminem effectively pushed MGK out of hip-hop, transforming the latter’s career path.
The feud began in 2012 when MGK tweeted about Eminem’s daughter, Hailie Jade, calling her “hot” in what he claimed was a respectful manner. While Eminem remained publicly silent, it was clear he was privately harboring resentment. This comment ignited the animosity that would boil over years later.
In 2015, Eminem took a significant step by banning MGK from his radio station, Shade 45. This move curtailed a crucial platform for MGK’s music, indicating that Eminem was not going to let the tweet slide without consequences.
In 2018, Eminem addressed the issue directly in his song “Not Alike,” from the album “Kamikaze.” The track contained a direct challenge to MGK, making it clear that Eminem had been holding a grudge. This call-out marked the start of an intense public feud.
MGK quickly responded with “Rap Devil,” a diss track aimed at Eminem. Released just days after “Not Alike,” the track attacked Eminem’s status and abilities. MGK declared himself the “rap devil” in contrast to Eminem’s “Rap God.” The song achieved significant success, peaking at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and amassing over a billion streams on Spotify.
Eminem retaliated with “Killshot,” a scathing diss track that demonstrated his lyrical prowess. “Killshot” climbed to number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and garnered over 1.2 billion streams on Spotify. The track was not only a commercial success but also critically acclaimed, further solidifying Eminem’s position in the rap game.
The feud continued to influence both artists’ careers. MGK released his EP “Binge” in 2018, followed by his album “Hotel Diablo” in 2019. Despite the feud’s shadow, these releases showcased his resilience and dedication to his craft.
