In a lot of means, Eminem has often come across as a very likable guy over the years. Later on all, the rapper has a long history of putting out amusing songs equally singles and he typically adopted comedic personas in the accompanying music videos. Despite that, to say that Eminem has a long history of picking lyrical fights with his peers is a massive understatement.

When it comes to the rappers that Eminem has beefed with, some of the most notable people include the Insane Clown Posse, Tyler the Creator, Ja Rule, Joe Budden, and Volition Smith. In improver to those stars, for years Eminem called out people similar Fred Durst, Christina Aguilera, and Moby. Of course, every Eminem fan knows that he besides has a long history of saying nasty things about his ex-wife and mother during his songs.

Given all of the people that Eminem has beefed with during his career, it makes sense that his feud with Automobile Gun Kelly had little effect on his career. On the other terminate of the spectrum, Kelly has said that his beef with Eminem did serious damage to his career.

Beef Timeline

For some reason, in May 2012 Machine Gun Kelly decided to comment on a movie of Hailie Mathers that Eminem posted on Twitter. While that could take been innocent plenty, it was pretty gross since Kelly was 22 at the fourth dimension and he commented that Hailie was "hot every bit f**k" even though she was 16-years-old dorsum then. Furthermore, considering Eminem's long history of lyrically ripping apart his peers, it was baffling that Kelly would put himself in the crosshairs.

Presently after Car Gun Kelly posted his Twitter comment about Eminem's girl, it became clear that it had sparked off a feud between the rappers. For example, Kelly would continue to indirectly claim that Eminem tried to have him blackballed because of it. So in 2018, Eminem took things to a new level when he released the song "Not Alike" in which he dissed Auto Gun Kelly. From at that place, things were off to the races every bit Kelly responded with his song "Rap Devil" which was a play on Eminem's earlier track "Rap God".

During a 2018 interview with Sway, Eminem had this to say about Auto Gun Kelly. "I could give a f**chiliad about your career. Yous think I actually f**kin' think about you? Do you know how many f**kin' rappers that are amend than you? You lot're not even in the conversation." Shortly subsequently, Eminem released a song chosen "Killshot" in which he mocked Kelly'due south looks and his lack of commercial success. Unfortunately, for Kelly, "Killshot" was a massive hit that amassed 38.one 1000000 views on YouTube in 24 hours. Two days after "Killshot" was released, Kelly chosen out Eminem during a concert just soon thereafter he put an unofficial end to their beef past announcing he wasn't going to reply to the song.

Claimed Consequences

Some of the time when 2 rappers put an stop to their beefiness, both parties manage to come out the other side looking better. In the example of Machine Gun Kelly's beef with Eminem, it doesn't seem like that is the case at all. During a discussion with Interview Magazine, Kelly spoke about how his feud with Eminem had damaged his career in a big way.

While talking well-nigh his 2019 anthology "Hotel Diablo" Car Gun Kelly made it clear he was proud of his efforts. "As a hip-hop album, ("Diablo" is) flawless front to dorsum, and also a hint at the development of how I went into a pop-punk album." However, he is aware that the album didn't perform well and he blamed that on his beef with Eminem. "But it was coming off the tail-end of that infamous beef (with Eminem). So no one wanted to give information technology the time of twenty-four hour period."

"It's like if you make a shitty picture and then yous come out with a great pic right afterward, but people want to focus on the fact that they hated any you just did. What I did in the beef was exactly what it should be, but that project wasn't welcomed. The next album came from already feeling like I'd counted out, so I didn't fifty-fifty care what the public was going to recall. That's why the projection was ironically my best received one, because it was the most effortless, with the least exterior influence."

Fifty-fifty though Machine Gun Kelly'due south 2020 anthology "Tickets to My Downfall" has ultimately been well-received, that wasn't e'er the case. Instead, when Kelly teased the release of new music before its release, he initially was actively mocked online. From the exterior looking in, it seems pretty clear that the reason for that initial response was that some people still didn't like Kelly due to his Eminem feud.
