Justin Bieber has some point here when fellow artists are being disregarded, and worst they are being put down. With the latest Eminem album, some contents were used against young and the new generation rappers. Personalities like Drake, Lil Yachty, Lil Pump, Machine Gun Kelly, Lil Xan as well as Tyler the Creator did not miss the distaste of Eminem.
But you are a professional means otherwise for Justin Bieber as he equally slams the Rap God for not understanding these rappers. The album which was released in August was complete with all that he doesn't like, with Machine Gun Kelly having the most criticisms. Eminem also mentioned MGK's in the song Not Alike saying "next time you don't gotta use Tech N9ne if you wanna come at me with a sub-machine gun/And I'm talking to you, but you already know who the f**k you are, Kelly/I don't use sublims and sure as f**k don't sneak-diss/But keep commenting on my daughter Hailie."
The story of between MGK and Eminem was way back in 2012 when the former commented on Hailie's looks. Not to worry, because MGK immediately created a track like something of a reply for Eminem. While the same goes for Lil Xan, Lil Pump and Lil Yacht with Eminem rapping "I can see why people like Lil Yachty, but not me though." Eminem also raps: "Lil Pump, Lil Xan imitate Lil Wayne."
Although the Love Yourself singer may have disagreed with Eminem and voiced it out on his social media, he was still listening to his tracks. At that moment, Justin Bieber shared on Instagram a screenshot of his phone screen with Eminem's The Ringer from the album Kamikaze playing. Eminem's album Kamikaze came as a surprise in August last year for his fans and was later certified platinum months after.
It's a brave thing to do for Justin Bieber as he calls out anything that is inappropriate for an artist. Although everyone has their own opinions and preferences, dissing other artists may not be pleasant to hear, even if it is just half-meant. Recalling Eminem's reference to the new generation rappers, he said: "I heard your mumbling but it's jumbled in mumbo-jumbo/ The era that I'm from will pummel you, that's what it's coming to."
There are different scenarios that must be expected by Justin Bieber and one of which is Eminem's reply. It can be received positively, or he can hear himself being the one dissed next time. Hopefully, everybody can move on and learn something out of it.
