Eminem is “not sure” if he’s going to respond to rapper Machine Gun Kelly’s diss track, “Rap Devil.”
“I’m not sure exactly what I’m gonna do at this point now,” the “Kamikaze” emcee told radio D.J. Sway in a sit-down interview on Slim Shady’s own YouTube page.
“Now I’m in this f—ing weird thing, because I’m like, ‘I gotta answer this motherf—er,'” Marshall Mathers said about what he interpreted to be repeated MGK disses. “And every time I do that, it makes that person — as irrelevant as people say I am in hip-hop, I make them bigger by getting into this thing, where I’m like, I want to destroy him. But I also don’t want to make him bigger.'”
Eminem also addressed Machine Gun Kelly’s original comments about his then 16-year-old daughter Hailie being “hot” — which seems to have started the problem between them — but says that’s not actually the reason he dissed him. Or at least it wasn’t the straw that broke the camel’s back.
Also, that phone call to Diddy and Interscope Records that MGK spit about on his response to “Fall”? It never happened.
“It didn’t feel like a diss to me. It just felt pitiful, like, ‘Ah, f—‘” Eminem said of those bars. “Now I’m feeling bad for something I ain’t even have [anything] to do with.”
Eminem also responded to former Shady Records artist Joe Budden’s podcast takedown of the label co-founder’s treatment of hip-hop group Slaughterhouse, which was comprised of Budden, Royce da 5’9”, Crooked I and Joell Ortiz.

Katy Perry The "firework" singer lent her voice — and her body — to the Rock the Vote campaign recently, shooting a pro-poll-attendance video for Funny or Die.
Madonna Madonna followed suit and posted a topless photo to her Instagram account and captioned it, "I’m voting naked with Katy Perry!! Vote for Hillary.”
“Star Trek” cast members, producers and writers from all of the franchise’s series and movies have endorsed a new Facebook group called Trek Against Trump.
“Never has there been a presidential candidate who stands in such complete opposition to the ideals of the Star Trek universe as Donald Trump,” the group said in a statement on its Facebook page.
In a recent video, the cast of the NBC sitcom reprise their characters to weigh in on the 2016 presidential election.
Will and Grace, of course, are voting for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, while Karen is committed to her close personal friend, Donald Trump. She helped him pick out Melania and everything.
"She's going to appoint justices to the Supreme Court who will ensure your civil rights," said Grace.
The director launched the "Save The Day" campaign with a star-studded ad that encourages people to go out and vote. In conjunction, he released a star-studded video titled "Important" and although it doesn't mention either candidate by name, it does reference "a man whose signature move is firing someone," as well as describing one of the candidates as "a racist, abusive coward who could permanently damage the fabric of our society."
The Prophets of Rage guitarist teamed with Ryan Harvey and Ani DiFranco to record "Old Man Trump."
The song was originally an unfinished Woody Guthrie protest piece intended for his landlord who happened to be Fred Trump, Donald's father.
Harvey told the Guardian: “You’ve got Donald Trump talking about making America great again ... and so here’s Woody Guthrie, one of the definers of American history, coming out after his death and saying ‘No, it wasn’t a great era and in fact your father was part of the problem.’”
Eminem is known for not holding back when it comes to diss tracks, but this time he let it all out in a track titled "Campaign Speech" -- eight minutes of anti-Trump freestyle, among other topics like Trayvon Martin and Colin Kaepernick.
"A f---ing loose cannon, who's blunt with his hand on the button who doesn't have to answer to no one," raps Eminem. "Great idea."
