The flames of one of hip hop’s most talked-about rap beefs have been reignited — this time, by none other than Machine Gun Kelly (MGK), who boldly claimed in a recent interview that his infamous diss track “Rap Devil” outshined Eminem’s “Killshot.”

When asked about his past feud with the rap legend, MGK didn’t hesitate to stake his claim.

“My diss track was better than Eminem’s. People only say Eminem’s diss was better because it’s Eminem. If you listen to both tracks as a neutral, you’ll know I won,” he stated confidently.

The feud began in 2018 when Eminem dropped “Not Alike,” taking shots at MGK. In response, MGK released “Rap Devil,” a direct challenge to the rap titan that quickly went viral. Eminem fired back days later with “Killshot,” a lyrical assault that many fans and critics hailed as a knockout blow. But years later, MGK is still standing by his track — and doubling down on his belief that he won the lyrical battle.

In the interview, MGK also addressed one of the most common critiques he’s faced since the feud: the perception that he “switched genres” and abandoned rap after the battle. He pushed back on that narrative, saying:

“I never departed from rap because of Eminem… I only proved that I’m better than the best. I was rapping to be entertained and everyone was watching because I outshined the best.”

He went on to clarify that his transition into pop-punk with the 2020 album “Tickets to My Downfall” wasn’t a retreat, but an evolution.

“Then I later dropped an album that was a pop punk album. I never switched genres,” he said. “I just expanded creatively.”

The comments have sparked fresh debate among fans of both artists. MGK’s supporters see his remarks as a justified claim to respect in the rap scene, while Eminem loyalists continue to assert that “Killshot” remains the superior diss — pointing to its razor-sharp lyricism and surgical takedown style.

Whether MGK’s words will provoke a new response from Eminem remains to be seen. But one thing’s clear: years later, this rivalry still hits a nerve — and the debate over who truly won continues to divide the hip-hop world.
