Machine Gun Kelly is a popular name among celebrities who are fond of tattoos. The rapper-singer-songwriter is famous for being inked up and fans are well-versed in the number of tattoos on his body. Having said that, while many of his fans may be ecstatic to learn about his new tattoos, many would find it shocking to see what he has done. It seems that the rapper, 33, has covered up a few of his previous tattoos, but he did it in a way that took everyone by surprise.
Coming from someone like Kelly, it might not have come as a huge surprise to some people. But what attracted more attention was when fans started dragging Eminem into tweets. Remember when MGK called the Recovery hitmaker’s daughter “hot” in a tweet back in 2012? Since then, the former has claimed that this has caused him to be shunned in the music industry. The two are said to have been at odds ever since.
Fans Drag Eminem as Machine Gun Kelly Takes Tattoo Game to a Whole New Level
The long-running feud between Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly, which has generated a lot of controversy, has enthralled fans over the years. Recently, the rivalry seemed to have taken a bizarre turn when MGK went viral for a particularly unique tattoo, which left critics and fans alike buzzing.
Recently surfaced images of MGK show off his enormous ink run. The tattoo appeared to cover most of the upper body, with a few spots remaining to show off some of his earlier work underneath. As expected, it elicited a range of reactions from fans. There are some who speculate that we may have to wait even longer for more new music from MGK.
Anyway, Kelly’s daring move definitely got people talking, even with the unusual topic at hand. They did not hesitate to quickly bring up Eminem to add their opinion. Let’s check out a few of the tweets:

Of course, no viral moment is complete without a barrage of memes and jokes to accompany it. Fans of the Rap God hitmaker as well as Kelly took to the internet to unleash their tweets and memes that poked fun. Clearly, this latest development has only added fuel to the fire of the ongoing feud.
Everything You Need To Know About Their Beef
Fans may recall that Machine Gun Kelly posted a now-deleted tweet in 2012 stating that Eminem’s daughter Hailie Jade was “hot”, which is presumably whence the feud between the two began. On X, the former posted the following about Jade, who was 16 at the time (via The Sun):
“I have to say, she is hot as f**k, in the most respectful way possible cuz Em is king.”
At first, fans thought Eminem had ignored the comment, but it appears that he was secretly harboring resentment. As per The Sun, in 2015, the Tickets to My Downfall hitmaker was barred from attending Shade 45, Eminem’s own channel on Sirius XM Radio. Then, a few years later, Eminem alluded to MGK’s tweet in his song Not Alike, whose lyrics went by:
“I’m talkin’ to you, but you already know who the f**k you are, Kelly…I don’t use sublime and sure as f**k don’t sneak-diss…But keep commenting on my daughter Hailie.”
With his diss track Rap Devil, MGK responded to Eminem’s comments, making direct reference to the latter. The lyrics included:
“F*** Rap God, I’m the Rap Devil.”
As per the Detroit Free Press, Kelly intensified the battle during one of his concerts by characterizing it as “a battle between the past and the fucking future”. While MGK is a more contemporary rapper recognized for his catchy hooks and melodies, Eminem is a more traditional rapper recognized for his technical skills and wordplay.
Well, from bizarre tattoos to social media spats, fans of both artists have experienced a rollercoaster of drama and excitement in recent years. And it seems this feud is far from over. Because, as per Cosmopolitan, Kelly has maintained the feud in public.
