Machine Gun Kelly appears to be responding to Eminem’s new diss

Slim Shady really didn’t hold back when he smoked Machine Gun Kelly with his 2018 diss-track called “Killshot,” and for a lot of people that was the final blow in a beef between the two.

But six years on, Eminem has just released a new album and it seems like he’s coming for Kelly all over again. “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)” arrived on Jyly 12, 2024 after Em gave us a taste of his new tracks with the singles “Houdini” and “Tobey,” featuring Big Sean and BabyTron.

The album, which he promoted with a picture of a gravestone, focuses on Eminem’s Slim Shady alter-ego and draws attention to some of the controversies he’s been involved with in the past, before the Detroit legend indicates that he’s leaving that part of himself behind. That’s not to say he’s forgiving and forgetting everything that came before, though.

In the song titled “Bad One,” featuring White Gold, Eminem makes reference to his beef with Kelly as he raps: “But I gotta keep going Tyson on Kelly / I bodied him twice and already / That little motherf***er’s back throwing subs like a food fight at the deli.”

The track officially reignites the feud between the two rappers, and fans are loving it. In a Reddit thread about ‘Bad One’, one user commented: “Mgk gettin buried again is hilarious [sic].” Another said: “That Mgk diss was slick on “Bad One” I can’t even lie. Eminem will never stop beating on him.” Others praised the song as a whole, with one fan describing it as ‘fire’.

Several hours after the album dropped, Machine Gun Kelly hit X (formerly Twitter) to seemingly respond to Eminem’s name-drop. “G.O.M.D.” MGK tweeted. It’s an acronym for the statement “Get Off My D–k,” popularized by J. Cole. With everything that’s going on around his boss Diddy and considering the past beet with Rap God, Machine Gun Kelly probably thinks the best course for him is to make a cryptic tweet and get done with it.

G.O.M.D.
