Eminem responded to Machine Gun Kelly’s diss track “Rap Devil” with his own diss track “Killshot.” In the process of taking the Cleveland rapper down, Eminem decided to take a few more names with him.
After calling Azalea a “ho” in his newest track, Eminem is certainly not making many friends. The line reads, “Next to Taylor Swift and that Iggy ho, you about to really blow.”
The ever-imploding internet feud between Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly has become rap’s biggest story for the last couple of days. Eminem name dropped multiple celebrities in his diss track to MGK and the people involved seem to be pretty fed up with it. Aside from Azalea and MGK, the rapper also name drops Rihanna, Lil Tay, Diddy, Jay-Z, Taylor Swift and 2Pac.
Azalea herself responded to her own diss with, “Diss songs shouldn’t be filled with celebrity name drops to pad out lazy bars.”

Azalea later admitted to being a fan of Eminem and said that the iconic rapper is simply name dropping to come up with bars that rhyme.
And that’s my unbiased opinion from a girl that watched this guys set and sung the words in the crowd. I’d think it regardless.
One of the greatest to do it, I’m NOT in dispute about that. But I do think the name dropping thing has become a crotch.— IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) September 14, 2018
Also let’s talk about why it’s lazy now; but wasn’t in the earlier work.
The earlier stuff was crazy, twisted and creative.
This stuff feels more like picking names that fit easily into a rhyme scheme. ????♀️— IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) September 14, 2018
Obviously, her input was met with the opinions of thousands of angry Eminem fans.
Hahahahaha y’all mad as fuck!
