Eminem Is Target Of New Machine Gun Kelly Song
The two rappers have been feuding over perceived slights for years and it heated up on Labor Day.

DETROIT, MI — Machine Gun Kelly released a song taking shots at Eminem on Labor Day. Called "Rap Devil" (a play on Eminem's 2013 hit song "Rap God"), the track was released through World Star Hip Hop as a response to Eminem's new album "Kamikaze."
The two Midwest rappers have been feuding since 2012, when MGK Tweeted out his thoughts on Eminem's daughter, Hailee. That social media post irked the Detroit-legend, who allegedly had MGK blacklisted from certain radio shows.
Other than silent accusations and side eyes, there was little direct confrontation from either man for nearly six years. That was, until "Kamikaze" dropped on Friday.

The direct call-out on the track spurred a quick response from MGK, who dropped "Rap Devil" less than four days after "Kamikaze's" release. Adult language is again used throughout the below track.
