Machine Gun Kelly has responded to Eminem‘s diss track towards him called “Not Alike.” On the song, Eminem spit, “But next time you don’t gotta use Tech N9ne if you wanna come at me with a sub-machine gun / And I’m talking to you but you already know who the f*** you are, Kelly / I don’t use sublims and sure as f*** don’t sneak-diss / But keep commenting on my daughter Hailie.”

Then last year, MGK sent a few subliminal shots on song with TechN9ne called “No Reason” –which is the song Em was referring to. MGK rapped, “It’s only one option, you gon’ need a doctor / I ain’t talkin’ ’bout the one from Compton. / I pop cherries and popstars, you popsicles is not hard / Popped in on the top charts out the cop car / To remind y’all you just rap and not God and I don’t care who got bars.”
Now, in response to “Not Alike,” MGK posted a song called “Rap Devil,” along with the caption, F*CK RAP GOD IM THE RAP DEVIL. On the song, he rapped, [“You sober and bored, huh?/ About to be 46 years old, dog / Talkin’ bout “I’ma call up Trick Trick” / Man, you sound like a b*tch, b*tch / Man up and handle your sh*t / Mad about something I said in 2012 / Took you six years and a surprise album just to come with a diss / Homie we get it, we know that you’re the greatest rapper alive / F*cking dweeb, all you do is read the dictionary and stay inside.”
