SCATHING remarks have been traded between Machine Gun Kelly and Eminem on multiple occurrences.

The two rappers have been locked in a feud for over a decade.

What is the beef between Machine Gun Kelly and Eminem about?

From what fans can understand, the beef between Machine Gun Kelly and Eminem started with a 2012 now-deleted tweet by Kelly commenting that Em's daughter Hailie Jade was "hot."

He wrote about then-16-year-old Hailie via Twitter: "I have to say, she is hot as f**k, in the most respectful way possible cuz Em is king,"

At the time, fans thought Eminem had ignored the comment but it appeared he harbored resentment behind the scenes.

In 2015, Eminem banned the Midnight in the Switchgrass actor from going to Shade 45, his radio station.

Six years after MGK's initial tweet, Eminem referenced the rapper's Twitter post in his song Not Alike.

He rapped: "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."

The Lose Yourself rapper's words prompted a response from MGK on his diss track Rap Devil in which he directly references Em.

Kelly sang: "F*** Rap God, I'm the Rap Devil."

Alongside the track, he also tweeted: "Im standing up for not just myself, but my generation.

"I'm doing the same s**t you did back in ur day. life is still real on my side, and i had to take time from the grind to defend myself from someone i called an idol."

After the release of Rap Devil, Eminem blasted Kelly in a sensational interview with Sway.

He denied the beef started because of Kelly's comments about his daughter.

He said: "The reason I dissed him is actually a lot more petty than that.

"The reason that I dissed him is because he got on—first, he said, 'I'm the greatest rapper alive since my favorite rapper banned me from Shade 45,' or whatever he said, right?

"Like I'm trying to hinder his career. I don't give a f**k about your career. You think I actually f**kin' think about you?

"You know how many f**kin' rappers that are better than you? You're not even in the f**kin' conversation."
