what did eminem say about mgk
Eminem has taken several shots at Machine Gun Kelly (MGK), mostly through diss tracks and an in‑depth interview, rather than just a single quote.
How it started
- In 2012, MGK tweeted that Eminem’s daughter Hailie was “hot as f***,” which Eminem later said annoyed him but was not the main reason he dissed MGK.
- Years later on the 2018 album Kamikaze , Eminem called MGK out by name on the track “Not Alike,” warning him to stop commenting on Hailie and mocking him for sneak disses and a Tech N9ne feature.
What Eminem said about MGK (key points)
In songs and interviews, Eminem has basically painted MGK as irrelevant, petty, and beneath him:
- On “Not Alike,” he makes it clear he is talking directly to MGK: he says he does not “use sublims” and tells him to stop commenting on his daughter or he’ll “end up like Ja Rule,” referencing a past destroyed rival.
- In his diss track “Killshot,” responding to MGK’s “Rap Devil,” Eminem:
- Brags that at age 45 he is still outselling MGK and reminds him that by 29 he already had multiple hit albums.
* Clowns MGK’s image (hair, “man bun,” tough-guy persona) and success, framing him as a clout-chaser using Eminem’s name for attention.
* Jokes about MGK’s personal life and brings up other artists (like Halsey and G‑Eazy) to embarrass him.
What he said in interviews
When Eminem sat down with Sway to talk about MGK, he downplayed MGK’s importance and explained why he really went at him:
- He said the tweet about Hailie and the press MGK did around it bothered him, but the “real” reason he dissed him was “a lot more petty.”
- Eminem said MGK claimed he was “the greatest rapper alive since my favorite rapper banned me from Shade 45,” implying Eminem tried to blackball his career, which Em called nonsense.
- Em’s exact stance in that interview is basically: he doesn’t care about MGK’s career, doesn’t think about him, and believes many rappers are better than MGK, saying MGK is “not even in the f***ing conversation.”
- He also said responding puts him in a weird spot because every time he answers someone like MGK, he risks making that person bigger, even though his instinct is to “destroy him.”
Simple takeaway
- If you’re wondering “what did Eminem say about MGK,” it boils down to this:
- He dissed MGK on “Not Alike” and then on “Killshot,” mocking his career, image, and motives.
* In interviews, he said he doesn’t care about MGK’s career, thinks MGK exaggerated the “blackballing” story, and that MGK is not even close to being in the same tier of rappers he respects.
