It sounds like a response track is in the works.
Eminem recently dropped his latest album
Kamikaze without warning, and tonight he released the first part of an interview with Sway Calloway. During the segment, the Detroit rapper discussed why he chose the surprise release strategy for the project and described dealing with criticism from the hip-hop community. Toward the end of the clip, there is a teaser for the next part, in which Eminem addresses his beefs with
Joe Budden and
Machine Gun Kelly.
Regarding the latter rapper, Eminem said he discovered MGK’s comments about his daughter Hailie while going down a YouTube wormhole:
So I see, ‘Machine Gun Kelly talks about Eminem’s daughter’ or whatever, right? So I’m like, ‘What the fuck?’ I clicked on it. Then he starts doing a press run, basically, about Hailie. I’m like, ‘What the fuck. Yo, my man better chill.’ So, that’s not why I dissed him. The reason I dissed him is actually a lot more petty than that. Now, I’m in this fucking weird thing because I’m like, ‘I gotta answer this motherfucker.’
Although the teaser clip cuts off at the end of the quote, it sounds like Eminem has a response track in the works. Earlier this week, Eminem’s frequent collaborator
Mr. Porter assured fans that
the Shady Records boss is plotting his next move:
The real thing is, okay, let Joe [Budden] say something. Let anybody else say something, and then he takes everybody out at once. That’s what will happen. He already said what he had to say about them. And that actually helped MGK more than it did Em. He just wanted to get it off his chest.
