Machine Gun Kelly disses Jack Harlow on new ‘Renegade’ freestyle

Machine Gun Kelly is back on his rap game – and apparently coming for Jack Harlow.

The “Bloody Valentine” rocker seemingly shaded the fellow rapper on a verse for his new “Renegade” freestyle, which dropped Saturday.

“I see why they call you Jackman/You jacked man’s whole swag/Give Drake his flow back, man,” MGK, 33, raps over the instrumental to Jay-Z and Eminem’s “Renegade.”

“I eat rappers like Pac Man/Must I regurgitate and show you who’s in my stomach from the last dance,” he continues.

Fans on social media pointed out that the “Jackman” line seemed to be a direct reference to the title of Harlow’s just-released third studio album, which includes songs like “They Don’t Love It,” “Blame on Me” and “Ambitious.”

“never been afraid to say what’s on my mind at any given time of day 😈🎯 ,” MGK – who previously released his own version of Harlow’s “What’s Poppin” in 2020 – wrote in an Instagram post promoting the freestyle.

“Sounded like he took a shot at ole @jackharlow . I thought they were boys?” one fan wrote in the comments section, with another adding, “I mean I like it but what Jack Harlow do😂.”

A third chimed in, writing, “Jack harlow getting them subliminals😂😂😂.”

The song was dropped just days after Harlow, 25, rapped that he was “the hardest white boy” since Eminem on “They Don’t Love It,” the second track on “Jackman.”

“Ya boy striving to be/The most dominant ever/The hardest white boy since the one who rapped about vomit and sweaters,” he sang, referencing Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” hit from 2002.

“And hold the comments/’Cause I promise you I’m honestly better/Than whoever came to ya head right then.”

MGK (real name: Colson Baker) is no stranger to getting under Eminem’s skin. The two famously feuded in 2018 when MGK called the “8 Mile” star, 50, “the big bad bully of the rap game” with a “weird” beard and “corny hats” on his track “Rap Devil.”

Their beef seemingly ignited way back in 2012 when a 22-year-old MGK called Eminem’s then-16-year-old daughter, Hailie Jade, “hot as f–k” via Twitter.

He later apologized, telling Power 105.1 radio show “The Breakfast Club” that he “didn’t know how old” Hallie was when he made the comment.

Following the massive success of Machine Gun Kelly’s “Tickets to My Downfall” and “Mainstream Sellout” albums, the pop-punk musician has been teasing a return to his hip-hop roots for awhile now.

“I’m going to make a rap album for myself. For no other reason, no point to prove, no chip on my shoulder. If I keep doing things to prove things to people, I’m going to one, drive myself crazy and two, not make a good product,” the “Dirt” star said in an interview with Audacy Check In last April.

“I’m gonna step into where I left [2019’s] ‘Hotel Diablo’ and expand on my storytelling as a rapper and find a new innovative sound for the Hip Hop Machine Gun Kelly,” he continued. “That’s where my excitement is and where me as a music archaeologist wants to explore.”
