Since Eminem dropped his surprise new album Kamikaze last Thursday (August 30) the Detroit born rapper has received attacks from rappers like Joe Budden and Machine Gun Kelly who have criticised his work.
Now added to that list is yet another equally talented and controversial rapper Lupe Fiasco who says he will destroy Eminem and Joe in a rap battle.
Fiasco made this assertion as he posted a video on Instagram of Eminem’s famous BET freestyle but with a comedian’s voiceover mimicking Em.
After sharing the clip, Lupe went back and clarified that he has love for Eminem and his reason for putting it up. But in the same breath, he added that he would destroy Em and Joe Budden in a rap battle.
“I posted up that video of the comedian mimicking Eminem rap style because I thought it was funny and actually most rappers actually rap like that when they are writing to catch a flow and get a melody. I like Em & most other rappers & I want no smoke but if I did I would destroy them all. Especially Joe Budden & Em too.”
The rapper also weighed in on the Colin Kaepernick/Nike situation where he said although he liked Colin and Nike, he didn’t seem to be impressed by the marketing strategy by the company, stating that ‘Corporate commandeering of social matters that ultimately lead to them selling their products is odd’. He also predicted that memes would follow.
