Machine Gun Kelly released his sophomore album, General Admission, Friday (October 16) and says that the project is not being covered by some media outlets because of a Tweet he posted in 2012 about Eminem‘s daughter.
“Pictures of that had came out and I’m like 21 years old,” Machine Gun Kelly says of the deleted Tweet to Ebro In The Morning. “I’m like, ‘Oh my God. She’s beautiful but all respect due. Eminem is king,'” What’s wrong with that? Is there a 15 year age gap where I’m a creep for that?”
He had written, “ok, so i just saw a picture of Eminem’s daughter… and i have to say, she is hot as fuck, in the most respectful way possible cuz Em is king.”
During the interview with Ebro, the Bad Boy Entertainment rapper says that the tweet was blown out of proportion and has blocked him from access to some media sites.
“Certain people took it and ran with it and hyped it up,” he says. “Certain people won’t even listen or review this joint. Certain places you won’t even hear Machine Gun Kelly on. Certain things won’t even happen. A friend of mine said it best yesterday. They said, ‘Why do you care? You came in the industry blackballed. You already came in with everyone hating you.'”
Machine Gun Kelly says he is not sorry for the post, and expresses frustration that his reputation precedes his music.
“I’m not stressing it ’cause I’m not wrong,” he says. “I’ve done nothing wrong but come up from being a nobody and being a loser and doing exactly what the goal of Hip Hop was in the first place which was earn respect in a community, use my voice to bring other people up from a dark place, speak on realities of what’s going on in my community, and I’ve stayed true to that….Fuck anybody who’s trying to take food off not just my plate, but a whole city. It’s more than just me. Let us win. Help us, man. My intentions aren’t ill. I’m not out here flashing chains. I’m doing this for the same reason everybody else started doing this back in the day for this respect. Let me win, man. Stop holding me back. Everybody’s gotta stop this shit.”
Man fuck this dude. Fake ass YelaWolf…
Yelawolf wack too
Yellawolf is fucking awesome
I just think people not checking for his music. Nothing to do with Em, he’s not that exciting as an artist. Tbh didn’t even know he had new music and I go to hip hop forums.
There is no excuse for having wack songs. ask diddy
His music not being played has absolutely nothing to do with this or any other reputation he thinks he has. Look at Chris Brown or any other artist with a bad history, they still get played. Your a white rapper who’s very average get in fucking line with the rest.
A tweet from 2012? Not likely. Come on man, you can do better than that!
I’m pretty sure if Eminem had took offense he would know all about it. I think he is stressing a petty issue.
nah…Em knows. Hes just fvvcking him silently. Dont mess with the powers that be. Em is the king.
Hell yeah i know huh? I don’t think Eminem even knows or cares How to use Twitter lol. True speak though
SMH at you dumbass commenters, he talkin bout not gettin played on Shade45 and shit – which he doesnt, and that is probly the reason why. Anywhere else he aint gettin played probly just cuz he white. MGK shit is doper than nearly every other artist out but most poeple wont even give it a listen. New General Admission album shits all over both discs of that Game garbage, and I had high hopes for Doc 2
Documentary 2 is a classic fuck u mean.. Did u really listen or jus skim thru it?
Anyone who calls an album a classic after being out for two weeks has an opinion that is worth nothing
Doc 2 and 2.5 wasnt even dope lol… hadca few good tracks but not a single track made me go Oh Shiiit… and Ima Game fan. Sorry to say but Game lost it.. jesus Piece n doc 2 is ass
If he’s not getting play at shade45 its because he was beefin wit yelawolf, who’s a shady artist. Conflict of interests.
Eminem fallout? Get the fuck out of here. You making it sound like them dudes used to be tight or some shit when em ain’t probably never even heard of this loser smh
I call bullshit.. Em don’t give a fuck bout this kid or what he tweets. Doors don’t open for you cus u white. That’s why Shade45 exists. Radio stations wouldn’t give Em the time of day in the beginning, until he blew the fuck up. Then they were on his dick trying to get that white boy money, and naturally he flip the shit and refused to fuck wit them because he realized they needed him more than he needed them. Mgk its always gonna be that way. Fuck it, do you
so why diddy not makin them phone calls then? mgk can spit like a mf but I’m not into the whole white boy/reject shtick.
If mgk wasn’t on the no fly zone already he is now! Ask rick ross what that feels like! Detroit Vs Everybody
I see Kid Rock, who’s from Detroit, is on his album. East $ide Cleveland we Ride with Bone Thug$, MGK, King Chip, Ray Cash, Ray Jr, and whoever on that real deal “till I die” sh!t. Listen to that “Alpha Omega” and “Till I Die” on that MGK he letting these doubters know what it is. No shortz, no losses!! It’s not a game, It’s a Movement. We everywhere, Cleveland Stand Up!!!!
Yeah STEELTOWN,give him the lesson,I hate it when murderfuckers ain’t doing well and they wanna put it on well-do people like Em,you better watch your steps mgk and hustle like your fellows,don’t prick Em,you don’t wanna forget where he’s coming from so soon,he been through hell and we Stans all know that and fuck with it
I’ve got a lot of respect for MGK. He is great. Americans do not like real music they like booty, chains
If he actually made good music then he’d be popping. Don’t front and play that outcast card it’s 2015 bro. Get on your grind and start putting out music then maybe you’ll get to where you wanna be. The shit ain’t gonna fall in your lap.
Uh this album is sick, the problem is too many people like mindless thoughtless easy rap and MGK actually has something to say, has real music with meaningful lyrics. I feel sorry for people who don’t get it.
Shit, he’s stupid af
should of dropped a diss record instead..gonna have the same impact for bringing it up twice..more blackballing
Em is king
sure em is king….
This is the hardest working man in hip hop right here. Broke a world record for touring and consecutive shows. Been touring since 2010 practically. He isn’t asking for shit, he is taking it.
Talking without reading up on facts first. Haters. Em is King. Kells is a boss. Em’s daughter IS hot as fuck. You all outed yourselves as idiots.
Lol love it.
The internet got dumber from your comments. Like the global IQ has just dropped. Congratulations.
I mean you are on the fucking internet! All you have to do is open a new tab and Google his shit before you start smacking your face on the keys to make a comment.
