Despite appearing to apologize for feuding with other singers, Eminem has mentioned Machine Gun Kelly’s name yet again.
Eminem’s latest – and possibly final? – album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), was released on July 12. The album concentrates on Eminem’s alter-ego, Slim Shady, and draws on some of the controversies the 51-year-old has been associated with in the past, with the record potentially signaling the rapper’s departure from everything.
In the song ‘Guilty Conscience 2’, Eminem appears to be arguing with himself, or rather his alter ego, Slim Shady.
And the rapper especially comments on his previous beef with other musicians, identifying persons like “Christopher, MGK, Nick, and for Limp Bizkit and them…”
Many fans interpreted the song as a type of ‘apology’ ‘to everyone [Eminem’s] clashed with,’ while others saw it as a resurgence of the drama.

However, in a subsequent song on the album, named ‘Bad One’, Eminem makes reference to Kelly again, rapping: “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.”
“That Mgk diss was slick on ‘Bad One’ I can’t even lie Eminem will never stop beating on him,” a person posted to Twitter.
Another added: “I don’t get it; it appears that Eminem wants to reconcile with the people he f**ked with in the song Guilty Conscience 2. Then, on Bad One, he again targeted MGK.”
And a promotional trailer for his album has added to the confusion.
In a video for Complex’s July 2024 cover story, Eminem sits down with Slim Shady and ‘faces off’ with his alter ego.

Toward the end of the struggle, Slim begins to attack Mathers, calling him a ‘fat boy’ before saying, “MGK f**ked your mother.”
Mathers said, “He did, but she is also your mother, and you really need some help, man.”
So, is it a dig at MGK, another attempt to renew the feud, or a dig at his own alter-ego? Fans are perplexed by what has occurred.
One Twitter user wrote, “I don’t understand this. At all. Is he MGK’s son? Wut?”
“I’m not listening to this album because he’s doing this,” another commented.
Another simply said, “I’m beyond this feud. Next!”
