Apparently, Machine Gun Kelly is coming for Jack Harlow again. A verse in his new “Renegade” freestyle, which dropped Saturday, seemed to shade his fellow rapper. MGK, 33, raps over Jay-Z and Eminem’s “Renegade” instrumental and rhymes, “I see why they call you Jackman/You jacked man’s whole swag/Give Drake his flow back, man.” The rapper continues, I eat rappers like Pac Man/Must I regurgitate and show you who’s in my stomach from the last dance. A number of fans pointed out that the “Jackman” line seemed to refer to Harlow’s new third studio album, which includes songs like “They Don’t Love It,” “Blame on Me,” and “Ambitious.”

Harlow, 25, rapped on “They Don’t Love It,” the second track on “Jackman,” that he was “the hardest white boy” since Eminem. MGK (real name: Colson Baker) knows how to get under Eminem’s skin before. On his track Rap Devil, MGK described the “8 Mile” star, 50, as “the big bad bully of the rap game” with a “weird” beard and “corny hats.” In 2018, the two feuded. A 22-year-old MGK called Eminem’s then-16-year-old daughter, Hailie Jade, “hot as fāk” via Twitter in 2012, igniting their beef. He later apologised, saying on Power 105.1’s “The Breakfast Club” that he “didn’t know how old” Hallie was when he initially made the remark.
Machine Gun Kelly Disses Jack Harlow On A Verse In His New ‘Renegade’ Freestyle Which Dropped On Saturday
Machine Gun Kelly raps over an instrumental by Jay-Z to take aim at Jack Harlow. He questions Harlow’s recent claim that he’s the second-best white rapper after Marshall Mathers on ‘Renegade Freestyle,’ which is known for Kelly’s musical beefs, including with Eminem. As Jack Harlow sings on his new track ‘They Don’t Love It’ from his new album ‘Jackman’, he says: The hardest white boy since that one who rapped about vomit and sweaters / Holds the comments, because I promise you I’m better than the person who just popped into your head. However, Machine Gun Kelly seems to have taken the boast personally, responding on āRenegade Freestyleā: Make sure there is no confusion / I understand why they call you Jackman / You have the swag of a man / Give Drake his flow back. “Jackman” was released just two days after its announcement last Friday (April 28). Following Harlow’s Grammy-nominated 2022 album ‘Come Home The Kids Miss You’, it arrives before his role in the remake of White Men Can’t Jump.
On May 19, Hulu will stream it in the US (and Disney+ internationally). A number of beefs have been exchanged between Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly in recent years. A new track called ‘Bullets With Names’ was released by Kelly in 2020, on which he seems to boast that he “killed” Eminem. Kelly’s track ‘Rap Devil’, which was recorded in a locker room immediately following a diss against him on Eminem’s ‘Kamikaze’ album, also references Eminem’s sobriety and age. Corey Taylor has also been in a beef with Machine Gun Kelly in recent years, which began when MGK hit out at Slipknot at Riot Fest, saying onstage: You wanna know what I’m really happy that I’m not doing?? It’s fucking weird being 50 years old on stage, wearing a fucking weird mask. In an interview earlier this year, Taylor appeared to dismissively allude to Kelly: I hate all new rock. Artists who fail in one genre and move to rock don’t appeal to me, and I believe he knows himself.
