The latest in the rap beef that no one asked for but every one is reveling in: Machine Gun Kelly took an L opening for Fall Out Boy at the Amway Center in Orlando.
No, the L wasn’t that he was opening up for Fall Out Boy (my guilty pleasure), it was that several tweets from fans in attendance claimed that droves of boos could be heard throughout the arena when the Cleveland rapper broke out his “Rap Devil” diss, which debuted at No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has over 95 million views on YouTube.
The 28-year-old probably should have known his audience wouldn’t be down with dissing Eminem. Fall Out Boy’s smash hit Sugar, We’re Going Down was released in 2005, the height of Eminem’s fame.
Try not to cringe at this video.
If you didn’t cringe then, maybe you will at this nugget of information. Yesterday, Machine Gun Kelly posted an Instagram photo from the concert in response to Eminem’s ‘Killshot’ diss (which had the largest debut of any hip-hop song in the history of YouTube).

Notice how MGK was wearing a t-shirt with the cover art Em used for his Killshot diss. Notice the thousands of fans behind him flipping off the camera, presumably at Eminem. Well, this was contrived, according to tweets from people who were allegedly at the show. He allegedly told the audience to take the picture with a sweatshirt on covering the shirt, then turned around and took it off.
So let’s talk about how this MGK guy seems to be pulling some desperate moves to try and act like he didn’t just get bodied by #Eminem
. Maybe don’t start shit you can’t handle? And don’t try to trick an audience that’s not even yours? #KILLSHOT
