MGK's got to be pretty embarrassed about this

Yesterday Eminem released his response to Machine Gun Kelly in the shape of "Killshot". The pair have been feuding since Kelly tweeted in 2012 that Em's daughter, Hailie Jade, was "hot as fuck". "Killshot" is intended as a response to Kelly’s “Rap Devil,” which itself was a response to Eminem’s “Not Alike". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxQTY-W6GIo On the track, Eminem has multiple digs at Kelly and responds specifically to claims that he is now out of touch.
"’Slim you’re old’ "Ow, Kelly, ooh, but I’m 45 and I’m still outselling you "By 29 I had three albums that had blew… "I’d rather be 80-year-old me than 20-year-old you."
And he also references the previous tweet MGK made about his daughter.
“Here’s that autograph for your daughter, I wrote it on a Starter cap “Stan, son, listen, man, dad isn’t mad/ But how you gonna name yourself after a damn gun and have a man bun?”
Following the release of the song, MGK tweeted to point out how long it had taken for the song to be released in the wake of his own diss track. https://twitter.com/machinegunkelly/status/1040767504342233089 However, many users on Twitter are taking the opportunity to point out that before the two feuded MGK had expressed his admiration for the 45-year-old rapper. Kelly wrote on Twitter in 2010: "Eminem makes me want to quit rapping...fuck, he's good lol" https://twitter.com/machinegunkelly/status/20020209613 You've got to admit it's pretty embarrassing for the rapper given what's going on currently.
