Eminem has Machine Gun Kelly in his cross hairs. 

After MGK dropped a nearly five-minute diss track of the self-proclaimed “Rap God” titled “Rap Devil,” Em made sure he got the last word in during an in-depth discussion of his surprise album, Kamikaze. 

Before we get to his expletive-filled rant about the younger rapper, here’s a quick recap of their beef: It ostensibly started six years ago when MGK tweeted that Eminem’s daughter, Hailie, is “hot as fuck.” 

MGK has stated that those three words lead to him being blackballed by figures in the music industry. They also inspired lyrics to the Kamikaze song “Not Alike,” in which Eminem dares Kelly to make more comments about Hailie.

In turn, MGK released his aforementioned diss track and wrote “FUCK RAP GOD IM THE RAP DEVIL” in all of his bios on social media. 

Now Eminem has broken his silence on “Rap Devil” by unloading on the rival artist. 

“It never hit my radar and then one day, you know, you go down the fucking wormhole of YouTube or whatever right, so I see ‘Machine Gun Kelly talks about Eminem’s daughter’ whatever right, ” Eminem explained to Sway Calloway in the new interview segment. 

“So, I’m like ‘what the fuck?’ I click on it…he starts doing a press run basically about Hailie. I’m like ‘what the fuck? Yo, my man better chill.'”

He went on to say that the comment about Hailie wasn’t what sparked their battle and that he “doesn’t give a fuck about [MGK’s] career. 

“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 what 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,” Eminem said. 

“I don’t give a fuck about your career. You think I actually fucking think about you? You know how many fucking rappers are better than you? You’re not even in the fucking conversation.”

Em didn’t stop there. “Now, I’m in this fucking weird thing because I’m like I have to answer this motherfucker and every time I do that, it makes that person,” he said. 

“As irrelevant as people say I am in hip hop, I make them bigger by getting into this thing where I’m like I want to destroy him, but I also don’t want to make him bigger because now you’re a fucking enemy. I’ll leave it at that.”

We have a feeling that the MGK-Eminem beef is far from finished. 

A lot of shirts and sweatshirts out there have some pretty questionable phrases printed on them, but online fashion retailer Revolve is catching all kinds of hell right now for selling a sweatshirt that is…not very well thought out.

The sweatshirt in question, from the brand LPA, reads: “Being fat is not beautiful — It’s an excuse,” and under the quote, says: “as said to @palomija,” referencing a comment left on plus-size model Paloma Elsesser’s Instagram.

Twitter has a lot of feelings about the $168 garment, as well as the model wearing it:

Florence Given, a London-based artist, got in touch with LPA about the sweatshirts and posted the conversation on Instagram:

Apparently, the point of the shirt was to collaborate with celebrities to shed light on how hurtful internet trolls can be and donate all proceeds to charity, but instead, the end result came out screaming a very different message.

The other designs were to feature similar quotes from Emily Ratajkowski, Lena Dunham — “Horrible Result of Modern Feminism,” Suki Waterhouse — “If you translated a bum onto her face, she’d have a better face,” and Cara Delevingne — “Too boney to be boned.”

However, as a result of the backlash, Dunham took to Instagram to announce that she wasn’t going to be involved in the collaboration anymore. She explained:

“I cannot support this collaboration or lend my name to it in any way. I am deeply disappointed in @revolve’s handling of a sensitive topic and a collaboration rooted in reclaiming the words of internet trolls to celebrate the beauty in diversity and bodies and experiences that aren’t the industry norm.”

Revolve told Yahoo Lifestyle the sweatshirts were intended “as a direct commentary on the modern day ‘normality’ of cyber-bullying and the shared desire to create a community for those most affected by the epidemic.

“We at Revolve sincerely apologize to all those involved – particularly Lena, Emily, Cara, Suki and Paloma – our loyal customers, and the community as a whole for this error,” they added. “The collection has been pulled. We are proud to donate $20,000 to ‘Girls Write Now’ in the hopes that those who need it can still benefit from what was to be a meaningful, insightful and impactful collaboration by LPA.”

Which rapper is the richest of them all? 

Jay-Z (born Shawn Carter) and Diddy (born Sean John Combs) have clinched the No. 1 and No. 2 spots on Forbes’ 2018 list of the world’s highest-paid hip-hop artists. 

Hov tops the list with an astounding $76.5 million haul that includes revenue generated from the release of 4:44 and a sold-out tour. His 2017-2018 income is a drop in the bucket compared to his estimated $900 million net worth. 

Diddy made $12 million less than the Roc Nation founder, but his $65 million yield from business ventures including Ciroc vodka, DeLeon tequila and Aquahydrate alkaline water was still good enough for the runner-up spot.

Kendrick Lamar, Drake and J. Cole round out the top 5, each having earned $58 million, $47 million and $35.5 million, respectively. 

Forbes reports that Nas had the biggest financial year of his career thanks to investments in Silicon Valley cash cows and online media. The 44-year-old multi-platinum artist made the the list for the first time in a quarter-century with an impressive $35 million haul that puts him just behind Cole. 

Check out this year’s top ten highest-paid rappers below: 

10. Kanye West – $27.5 Million

9. Future – $30 Million

8. Pitbull – $32 Million

7. Nas – $35 Million (Tied With Dr. Dre) 

6. Dr Dre. – $35 Million (Tied With Nas)

5. J. Cole – $35.5 Million

4. Drake – $47 Million

3. Kendrick Lamar – $58 Million

2. Diddy – $64 Million

Forza Horizon 4 is due out October 2nd and the demo should be available on the Xbox Live Marketplace by the time you’re reading this. This time around, the team is taking its high-revving action to the countryside of Great Britain and there’s no better way to do that than in ten iconic cars of the most famous Brit in the world. Forza Horizon 4 is letting you push the red line like James Bond himself.

Adding to the 450+ cars already in the game, the Bond Pack is heavy on the Aston Martins, reaching all the way back to Sean Connery’s 1964 DB5 and checking off several other DBs along the way. 

Of course, you can’t have a Bond pack without peppering in some BMWs and Jaguars in there too and Forza is covering all their bases. Here’s the complete list of included cars:

• 1964 James Bond Edition Aston Martin DB5
• 1969 James Bond Edition Aston Martin DBS
• 1974 James Bond Edition AMC Hornet X Hatchback
• 1977 James Bond Edition Lotus Esprit S1
• 1981 James Bond Edition Citroën 2CV6
• 1986 James Bond Edition Aston Martin V8
• 1999 James Bond Edition BMW Z8
• 2008 James Bond Edition Aston Martin DBS
• 2010 James Bond Edition Jaguar C-X75
• 2015 James Bond Edition Aston Martin DB10

Those Astons are well and good but we may be most excited to take that 1977 Lotus Esprit out for a spin, though we don’t have high hopes about its submarine capabilities. We were happy to hear that, even though we won’t be able to use the Bond-style gadgets while playing the game, many of them would remain intact for you to peruse in the Forzavista mode that lets you get out and ogle these beauties properly. 

You can check out the official story from Microsoft here and download the Forza Horizon 4 demo here or on your Xbox One itself when it’s available. As for getting your hands on these cars IRL, you better start saving now. 

As we all know, Cardi B tried to fight Nicki Minaj at the Harper’s Bazaar ICONS party last week, where she tried to bitch-slap the Chun-Li rapper and threw her shoe across the room, but Nicki was like “Nah, girl. I’m good,” and Cardi ended up getting kicked out of the party after getting whacked on the head.

Apparently, the catfight was Cardi confronting Nicki for allegedly talking shit about her baby and telling other artists not to work with her. But Christina Aguilera—who was performing at the event when the fight happened—thinks she started the fight. 

Okay, Xtina.

In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, the singer jokingly said she heard the fight break out as she was performing her song “Fighter,” and said it was “so appropriate. I was like, ‘Oh, my God! That’s genius! My music makes people feel…it’s invoking passion!'”

She also added that Cardi must have gotten a little too excited when she heard her “Migos version of ‘Genie in a Bottle.'” You know, because her husband, Offset, is in the group. 

What the hell does a “Migos version” mean? Did she rewrite the lyrics to “Genie in a Bottle” and make it about weed?

Anyway, even though she’s only joking about starting the fight, she should stay out of it completely unless she wants to be the next one dodging a shoe.

Remember when we introduced you to the “cage” lingerie trend? Well, the complicated look certainly seems to be picking up steam, as we’ve just spotted it on none other than Gigi Hadid during Rihanna’s runway show for her Savage x Fenty line. The trend boasts criss-cross details that resemble a cage, and can be seen on Hadid’s bra and underwear during the over-the-top runway show, which included interpretive dancing. (Cape and knee-high stockings optional). 

Gigi’s sister Bella also showed off another one of Rihanna’s beautiful creations: a bra with corset detailing and a lacy skirt attached to a garter belt. Meanwhile, the woman of the hour, Rihanna, took her bow in a ruched brown dress and strappy heels. Scroll down to see looks from the new Savage x Fenty show.
