Eminem once again surprised fans with another new album — this time, he dropped Music To Be Murdered By: Side B on Thursday night (December 17). Shortly after the 36-track deluxe version arrived, Slim Shady took to Twitter to announce he had a visual for the song “Gnat” as well.
“‘Like trying to fight off a #GNAT,” he wrote in the caption. “music video with @lyricalLemonade directed by @_ColeBennett_.”
Directed by Cole Bennett, who also directed “Godzilla,” the visual finds Em sporting a yellow hazmat suit and other PPE gear as he spits lines about the current COVID-19 pandemic.
“They say these bars are like COVID, you get ’em right off the bat,” he raps. “Infected with SARS and Corona, like you took a bite off of that/But it goes from martian to human, that’s how the virus attacks/They come at me with machine guns, it’s like trying to fight off a gnat.”
The last line sparked an online debate about whether the “machine gun” mention was intended as another Machine Gun Kelly diss. The two have been going back-and-forth since Eminem dissed MGK on his 2018 Kamikaze single “Not Alike.” From there, Kelly unleashed “Rap Devil” and Em surprisingly responded again with “Killshot,” which did exactly what the title suggested — end the back-and-forth.
Since then, both artists have been embroiled in a cold war that doesn’t appear to be letting up anytime soon.
Check out the “Gnat” video below.

Stop it! The whole world is in udder chaos, with pandemic, record unemployment, economic upheaval, political uncertainty, technological sabotage, etc.,. The only resolution is for EM and MGK to collaborate. Be the man EM and step up–unite the world via music. Spread LOVE not hate…the whole world is in need of it.
In fair, really STOP the INSANITY. Seriously, I get EM being protective father, yet honestly what MGK texted was harmless. EM pls step up–unite with MGK and unite the world in we need it most. Let this shit go…….
@ Chika (bitchass) / please and I mean this with all sincerity … GO FUCK YOURSELF, IN THE ASS … mkay pumpkin?
But it really didn’t, which is sad for anyone who’s still making such a laughable claim. But hey, that’s just adding to the mythical career of Eminem. Never actually ending anyone’s career but it sounds cool, right?

That was raw!!!!!!!!!!
Mgk is everything eminem wishes he was. Tall, handsome, big cock, and a hit with the ladies. Eminem and his micro penis will be jerking off for the rest of his lame life.
Lmfao, your an idiot. Eminem is the fuckin goat, not even up for debate. Em smashed MGK so bad, dude is doing punk music now haha. Forgotten pretty quick, what a joke.
Just a goat in ur barn buddy..LMAO…
What you said was kinda weird. Sorry man. Eminem added to his own legacy releasing this album. It’s a powerful album. Em is dope. Always was.
Lol lol lol MG who yo he gets booed at his own conserts he is the shittest rapper Em has beefed wit an ya ur rite em be jerking of an blowing in on mgk face where he likes it haha can’t fuck wit the artist of the decade jus saying ?
Ummm… That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. First of all, MGK has a net worth of about 8 million I think therefore when Kelly goes he will be forgotten because nobody knew who he was to begin with. Second, we are talking about rap, not porn. If Kelly has a big dick than maybe he should go battle Ron Jeremy.
em is the best white or black lyricist of our time hands down .em did micheal jackson,celine dion,Elton John numbers mgk is good but in life you should give credit when due but always respect the RAP GOD ?
I don’t know what you’ve been smoking if you think MGK would be remembered. I mean the dude was trying to hit on Eminem’s daughter when she was underage and MGK even said because of Eminem his last album did horrible. Eminem is going to be known as one of the greatest rappers of all time your opinion doesn’t matter but if you go on YouTube and articles his peers consider him one of the best and they know the industry way better than you.
Hi there Kelly
Are you fucking stupid? MGK is a fucking douche. Em is a legend…the only rapper to ever come close to to being as legendary as Tupac. No one will ever forget that man. It is clear you are just a dumb ass who prefers boys and not a real man!
Are you that ignorant or just racist? He is the best lyrical, most creative artist.. tell me this u moron, what ONLY rapper has 2 diamond albums… Yes thats right Eminem. And i didnt know you were so into his size of his, you homo, like he said, get off my dick lay off and stay off. U just mad ur life is shit and the white boy is the ??? GOAT!!! Beotch
pretty sure vanilla ice n hamma went diamond pac neva won a grammy n did, then theres outkast who def actually desreved it
Haha MGK… Eminem wishes to be MGK? Haha. I think hes good. He dont need no pink outfits and when killshot killed him he had to go to Punk Rock. Like a Punk he is. Keep thinking whose schlong is bigger you homo. Shady. Shady Shady. “Even when you come with a Machine Gun, i swat them like Gnats!! R. I. P mgk. Stick to your pink outfits and punk rock. And u haters keep hating!!! Shady is the Goat and your the water keepin my terd afloat
I’m no big fan of either. But I do know enough to realize that since these two knocked heads, It’s been MGK who’s looked better & better. The only ones who keep acting as if he’d died are those diehard Eminem fans. Says a lot
Ok… EM will go down as the best rapper alive and MGK will die before he’s 40 due to an overdose and won’t have a single hit worth remembering
Lmao mgks net worth is 10million…. Eminems 232million i think ive said enough dumbass
Those trap drums dont fit him, but he keeps using them.
What in the world are you talking about? Are you sure you listened to the right album?
Just a playful little jab, not sure why something like that would „set Twitter ablaze“ but I guess people have nothing better to do these days. Em murked MGK with that „Killshot“ track, every little subliminal that came after that was just him pissing on his grave pretty much.
MGK seems to be doing pretty good from the grave then.
MGK the rapper died from a killshot. However, MGK the punk singing, gay hairstyle guy is doing pretty good. He just needed to find his place and it wasnt in rap.
This.
What the f was that lol. I mean it was great but also what? Em has gone from being a looney tunes style psychopath to being straight up lynchian, and I’m here for it.
Funny you say killshot did just that to MGK yet…1.Mgk has a bigger following since that Rap Devil diss
2. He was making great music during quarantine that was really fuckin good and getting attention.
3. Dropped a punk pop album that hit #1.
4. He has megan fox while Eminem premature ejaculated on Mariah Carey.
5. Fuck all you haters lol. #Cleveland
How u gonna try to belittle eminem for sleeping with Mariah Carey, who was HOT AF back then, when you are lusting over a woman who has a child with another man. That is some beta shit for real. Worried about another mans sex life yet you are a beta male who desires women with children. Lmfao. Lame mfer.
dude he changed his genre ,admitted beef affected him
It didn’t affect him. It affected the way his album was received. In other words, Eminem’s Stans were out there doing a hate campaign against MGK which hurt his overall reception. That’s some Beliebers – Swifties sh*t. A.K.A. Anti-Hip Hop behavior
The stand were never going to buy his album though, so these stand could do all the hating they wanted, and those who cared about MGK would’ve still bought his album. MGK’s fanbase was never rap, he’s always been that white boy backed by maga white boys, that’s why his punk alb was received, and not his rap albums.
Hahaha exactly, this fuckin clown doesn’t get
eminem sold more in one album then all mgk albums combined
How come Em got 45 million followers on You Tube but MGK only has 6 Million then?
Hahahaha you’re actually MGK HUH, FUCKING GNAT, GET OUT THE COMMENTS
Lol @ Eminem trying to resurrect his Rapping at 52 years old after MGK ended his career. MGK fuckin Megan Fox while Eminem is sucking off Joe Biden & Mr. Porter. Loser needs to ride off into the sunset. Griselda knew when to jet with this washed up rapist.
Resurrect? Bruh you don’t know sh**t, this mans numbers in 2020 are literally way higher than…. forget you don’t know s**t lmao
The other way around actually. MGK admitted Eminem ruined his rap career which is why his new album is not rap. Eminem has his own women, he doesn’t just stick to one. He tries to rap about things that may be viewed as controversial as he always has. That’s what he does.
Hmmmm…. how many times has eminem gone platinum? Eminem turned machine gun kelly into machine gun Sally, even mgk knows it. Move on, stop being so salty and don’t get so triggered when people talk truth about your wife Sally bruh. Come on now.
Lmao your obviously have no idea what you are talking about MGK killed ems rapping carreer hahaha i honestly have nothing to say except you must be dumber than dumb
Bet Eminem will apologize for something like he did on the last two albums he’s dropped come back and said how sorry he is LMFAO ? sell out fucking douchebag
your moms wack
Please takes Em’s cock out cha mouth Stanny…LMAO…
Eminem is in your head rent free. To the point you’re using a screen name with his name in it commenting negative things on an article about him. You clicked to get here just to do all that? You’re weak.
this was cool. Prolly wont revisit this but Em can still rap with the best of them.
Why wouldn’t you revisit it? Are you new to hip hop or something?
No it means it wasn’t memorable enough for me to listen again, is that clear enough? I’m listening to the music, the music itself is kinda bland. Of course Em can rap but we kno that already.
As always, Eminem delivers dope music. The video was dope too. Sorry, Im not calling it a “visual” like the kids do. When you say “I need a visual” its implying you dont get it and youre a moron.
Dont forget MGK drives a purple Aston Martin my weraing a pink T-Shirt
This entire discussion page makes me. everyone here is an example of toxic fanfare to the point ot cum guzzling their favorite artists nut, shits pathetic. Both disses were shit fucking deal with it. Also everyones hiding behind fake names which is funny asf ?
Breeze…Really. Michael Breeze. Lol. Name like that and i’m pretty sure who is guzzling the nut. Shut the fuck up. Lol.
This thread: “Em made MGK switch genres”
Me, with a brain and an understanding of branding and sales: “he’ll be back, he ain’t quit rapping forever you just wait” XX
Yea but me also understanding branding, he did make him switch genres for what will be a couple years at least and damaged the sales of his last hiphop project. So really… aren’t the stans right? Not really a hot take that he will eventually be back, no one retires from anything in 2020.
MG who ?
Em is obviously the better rapper, and obviously has way more loyal fans than MGK. That being said, MGK is living his life doing movies and smashing Megan Fox and Eminem comes off as such a miserable hermit who never leaves his studio in his mansion, doesn’t talk to anybody but Paul Rosenberg, and does like two interviews per album when he releases them and that’s about it. When’s the last time he even toured in America?
I kind of see the point you are trying to make but not really…..1. I am pretty sure Eminem has a stack of movie scripts on his desk that he could accept if he wanted to.
2. Arent we all supposed to be Hermits right now?
3. Megan Fox has had 3 kids with a B actor in a previous relationship, im pretty sure “smashing” that now would be like throwing a hotdog down a hallway. ( unless shes done some serious kagels)
4. Umm not sure if you have noticed but no one is touring the US right now , theres this thing called a Pandemic.
5. Eminem seems like the dude who likes to stay in the lab with a pen and a pad. And I am ok with that.
6. Cheers, stay safe.
U didnt have to do him like dat…LMAO
Grown adult using the word “dat” and you losers liked his post ? I can’t anymore
Bye Bitch
You hit that s#!t nail right on the Head!!
Well you need to go back to health class. A woman can get gang banged and literally go directly back to her regular size. You seem like the type of person that believes yanking your dick with a hot wet rag will make it bigger. No body wants eminem in any movies because he is garbage at acting ok. You seen 8 mile right? Everyone are fools if they think both these guys are not winning from all this hype. Tell me again, what do you do? Just off spotify alone I guarantee both these guys make 10 times the amount any of the people on here commenting make. Also it’s not the stone age anymore. Who cares what album is plat, who is getting streamed. If you don’t know the difference, you might be to old for the Internet.
He probably just hasn’t finished touring his home yet
Eminem is the GOAT
GW-BOAT( greatest white-boy of all time)
awww…the white boy. It’s a shame hes just the best…white or black
Killshot is listed as an MGK song is his discography on You Tube music. Thats how sad his career is
Hahahaha!!! And u make how much doin’ what????
Go check out Tom MacDonald new Video out its a banger and He’s the Best White Rapper Nuff Said
That will be yealwolf sir
Tom could be good, but he overdoes his songs. I don’t know, never really could get into his music personally.
The so called debate totally contradicts that whole verse! If “these bars are like covid you get them right off the bat.” Meaning they’re suppose to be obvious then why don’t these people debating get that of course it was a MGK diss! He’s the Gnat!
Dumb ass covid supposedly spread from bats
Indeed. Get it off the bat as in the literal sense but also figuratively, like right away. Meaning you can get these bars right now. Then shortly later he says they come with machine guns, it’s like fighting off a gnat. MGK is clearly the gnat. It’s not up for debate. Their stature in hip hop, the accomplishments, the gap in talent:MGK is a gnat to Em. If ppl miss it the first time, cool, you may not be actively listening, no problem. But to go in a comment section, read the lyrics, listen to it again, and still be in denial reveals how lost the new gen of hip hop fans is.
They both suck…upchurch and bottleneck are way cooler
Eminem is far better than any of your favorite artist regardless of what you think. 10/12 of his albums are platinum going on diamond and two of his songs are already diamond. He’s one of the greatest lyricist whoever touched a mic. Bottleneck? No one no one knows who that is and Upchurch isn’t even that good you’re a fucking crackhead leave don’t come back till you prove they’re good and till you stop acting childish
It’s kind of interesting how Megan Fox was in one of Eminem’s music videos now she’s dating MGK. Wonder if that’s awkward for them.
Em had to pay her to get close to him, but she jumped all over mgks big cock for free.
Sound like your riding MGK’s “big cock” lol
When Eminem diss you is like a snake kiss you
It’s a double entendre..it came from someone eating a bat..
You guys are stupid everybody knows the best white rapper is Drake
Dope shit Eminem dropped a another killer cd the money hasnt ruined him like so many others n 4 the rest of u all the artists uve said r better like drake 4 example is wack ass bitch shit n i didnt consider him a white man marshall is lyrically supirior n has put out more good tunes over the years then them other bitchs cud ever dream of n im a twiztid guy but dope is dope n them other rappers just aint on that dope level n never will B
