There's been more beef in the world of hip-hop lately, thanks to an ongoing row between Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly, it all started after MGK called Eminem's daughter Hailie 'hot as fuck' back in 2012. Six years ago might seem a long time, but some things aren't forgiven or forgotten very easily - and apparently not if you're Eminem.
The two rappers have both released diss tracks targeted at one another, and now Eminem has opened up about it all in an interview with Sway Calloway.
He said: "You've got people who don't do anything and are just critiquing it. So I sat back and I'm like, 'Ok, that's fine,' people can talk crazy about me, that's fine, they should express themselves and they have a right to. But I also get to say whatever the fuck I want about you now."
Uh-oh, it's going down.

Then he talked about the idea behind his surprise new album, Kamikaze which he explained as: "What if I give everybody my opinion, about them?"
Sway went on to ask about MGK and their 'discrepancy' to which Em responded: "Just for the record the thing that was going on that he was saying about my daughter, I didn't even know about that until literally like a year and a half later.
"It never hit my radar. And then one day you go down the fucking worm hole of YouTube, so I see Machine Gun Kelly talks about Eminem's daughter, whatever. What the fuck."
We're just impressed at the fact that we've probably been stuck in the same 'wormhole' as Slim Shady at one point or another.

He continued: "So I click on it... he starts doing a press run, basically, about Hailie. I'm like, 'What the fuck? Yo, my man better chill.'
"That's not why I dissed him, the reason I dissed him is actually a lot more petty that that. The reason I dissed him is because he got on - first he said, 'I'm the greatest rapper alive since my favourite rapper banned me from Shade 45,' or whatever he said, right? Like I'm trying to hinder his career.
"I don't give a fuck about your career. You think I actually fucking think about you? You know how many fucking rappers are better than you? You're not even in the fucking conversation. I don't care if you fucking blow or if you don't blow, it doesn't matter to me."

Then he took aim at MGK's verse on Tech N9ne's 'No Reason (The Mosh Pit Song) where he claims that Eminem is 'just rap and not God'.
Eminem added: "It's like, shut the fuck up, shut the fuck up. Now, now I'm in this fucking weird thing because I'm like I gotta answer this motherfucker.
"And every time I do that it makes that person - as irrelevant as people say I am in hip-hop - I make them bigger by getting into this thing where I'm like, 'I wanna destroy him, but I also don't wanna make him bigger,' because now you're a fucking enemy."

We wonder what's going to happen next? Something tells us that this isn't the last we're going to hear from this pair.
