While she hasn’t opted to pursue her “nepo baby” status in the way that some other celebrity children have, Hailie Jade still has a large fanbase happily keeping up with her life as a 20-something. Earlier this year, she happily announced her engagement to long-time boyfriend Evan McClintock, and now, the happy couple is gearing up for their wedding. Though she keeps much of her life private, following the big event Hailie unveiled some of her favourite moments via an Instagram Reel, which included plenty of noteworthy outfit changes and heartfelt romantic moments.
As many have pointed out in the comments, Slim Shady fails to make an appearance in the post. However, McClintock did previously confirm on an episode of his fiancée’s Just A Little Shady podcast that he specifically asked Eminem for his permission to propose, which was understandably a nerve-wracking experience for him. As it turns out, the day Hailie’s father and future husband had their conversation was on her most recent birthday, as the 8 Mile star headed into another room to grab her cake.
The 27-year-old is obviously ready to rock a stunning white dress on her wedding day – so much so, in fact, that she wore various white outfits to celebrate her engagement. Among them was a scoop-neck mini dress with dainty gold accessories complimenting it, while another saw her pair of gorgeous white Prada heels with a sparkly suit. From the photos alone, the love between Evan and his soon-to-be bride is clearly abundant and hopefully long-lasting.
Apart from those wondering why Eminem was missing from the post, Hailie Jade’s comment section has been flooded with those expressing shock that she’s getting married when it feels as though she was a child just yesterday. “Little baby girl Hailie turned into a beautiful lady,” one thoughtful message says. “Time flies. Congratulations, you two.” Can you believe that Eminem’s daughter is getting ready to tie the knot? Let us know in the comments, and tap back in later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
After nearly 40 years in the entertainment industry, expanding into film and television following a triumphant run in hip-hop, LL Cool J plans to make his return to the booth. The legendary rapper confirmed that he’ll release a new album – his first in 10 years. However, he’s bringing along a slew of MCs to join him on the project. AllHipHop reports that Eminem, Nas, Fat Joe, Rick Ross, and Saweetie will appear in the project, which is reportedly going to be produced entirely by Q-Tip.
The upcoming project aligns with Hip Hop’s 50th anniversary and the string of features reflects the genre’s evolution. Fat Joe stands as the only artist that LL Cool J worked with in the past. The two previously connected on “I Shot Ya (Remix)” in 1995. However, the appearances of Nas and Eminem are certainly the most anticipated, especially since LL hasn’t locked in with either in the past. Although a collab with Em was supposed to arrive on LL’s now-shelved The G.O.A.T 2, LL continued to ensure fans that they would come out with something in the near future.

LL has continued to tease the upcoming effort since the beginning of the year. During his appearance at the Grammys, where he performed in the Hip Hop 50 segment, he confirmed Q-Tip’s involvement. “The album, I think, is really, really special,” he told E! News. “I think it’s something modern without chasing. It’s a whole new thing. I can’t wait for the people to see it… I think honestly and sincerely that Q-Tip as a producer is unbelievable and what he did on this record for me, I think is amazing. So the world will decide.”
It seems like the upcoming album will align with LL Cool J’s upcoming The F.O.R.C.E tour. The tour kicks off on June 25th in Boston and will include The Roots, DJ Jazzy Jeff, and DJ Z-Trip. Additionally, they plan on turning it into a hip-hop extravaganza in each city as they plot on different guests, including Rakim, Queen Latifah, Rick Ross, Jadakiss, and more. We’ll keep you posted on anymore updates surrounding LL’s upcoming album.
Machine Gun Kelly and Jack Harlow are currently involved in beef after Harlow proclaimed he was the “hardest white boy” since Eminem on the song “They Don’t Love It” from his new album Jackman. Machine Gun Kelly responded to this lyric in a diss track titled “Renegade Freestyle.” The freestyle features the same instrumental from Jay-Z’s song “Renegade,” which famously includes one of the best Eminem features ever. While it is still uncertain if Harlow will respond to MGK, the one-sided beef is in full swing between these two. Here’s a look at the events preceding the feud and the reasons behind this particular beef.
MGK’s Beef With Eminem
While Jack Harlow’s recent album sparked the current beef, its issues date back to 2018 when MGK engaged in a feud with Eminem. Problems between the two began in 2012 when MGK tweeted that Eminem’s daughter Hailie was “hot as f*ck.” Eminem rapped about this in his song “Not Alike,” in which he called MGK a “Lil’ non-threatenin’ blond fairy cornball.” After this, Machine Gun Kelly responded with a diss track titled “Rap Devil.”
At the time, many fans were impressed with “Rap Devil” and believed MGK may have possibly gotten one up on Eminem. However, Em responded with his own diss track, “Killshot,” which left fans divided. While public opinion favors Eminem as the winner of this beef, some rappers publicly stated that MGK won. Both The Game and Young Thug publicly stated that they felt Machine Gun Kelly was the winner. While the true winner is still up for debate, it is tough for anyone even to go track-for-track with Eminem. Because of this, MGK probably believed he proved himself to be the “hardest white boy” since Eminem, and with good reason.
Despite being entrenched in a rap beef only a year prior, Machine Gun Kelly made a stark transition into the pop-rock genre following his beef with Eminem. While MGK still rapped on his 2019 project Hotel Diablo, the album featured many pop-rock elements he would eventually transition towards. Despite the popular success of MGK’s beef with Eminem, his career as a rapper was steadily declining at the time. While his debut album Lace Up was certified gold, his next two albums failed to sell over 100,000 copies.
However, Kelly greatly succeeded in the pop-rock genre and revitalized his career. His first real album under the genre, Tickets to My Downfall, was certified Platinum and debuted atop the US Billboard 200. In addition to this, MGK also began dating actress Megan Fox in May of 2020, which only furthered his prominence in the mainstream. Since 2020, MGK has fully embraced the pop-rock sound, and it seemed that he had all but left his rap career behind. This shift in genres made his response to Jack Harlow even more shocking, as many fans do not even currently classify Kelly as a rapper. However, MGK felt he had to rap once again to retake his place as the best white rapper since Eminem.
Jack Harlow’s “They Don’t Love It”
Jack Harlow made his name in the Hip-Hop world through radio-friendly hit songs that were both commercially successful and also pushed the rapper away from many Hip-Hop fans. However, Harlow sought to prove himself to the rap world on his most recent album as he delivered more honest, thought-provoking content over classic sample-based instrumentals. While Harlow proved himself to many on Jackman, it is also easy to understand why many people would take offense to his declaration of being the “hardest white boy” since Eminem. This line sparked much debate online, as fans noted white rappers such as Mac Miller, Lil Peep, Action Bronson, and others had achieved much more than Harlow in the Hip-Hop universe.
However, Machine Gun Kelly appears to be the one who took the most offense to this line, which is surprising considering his decision to abandon Hip-Hop to make rock music. Kelly’s involvement in this beef with Jack Harlow seems to stem from his beef with Eminem, as MGK obviously feels he proved himself because of their feud. Kelly also showed his willingness to rap again recently, as he released a cypher with Cordae titled “Doja Freestyle.”
Kelly responded to Jack Harlow with the aforementioned track “Renegade Freestyle.” On the song, Kelly rapped, “I see why they call you Jackman, you jacked man’s whole swag.” This line is about similarities between Jack Harlow and Drake, as MGK also declared that Harlow stole Drake’s flow. While “Renegade Freestyle” has made headlines, Harlow has yet to respond, and as of right now, this feels like a one-sided beef. Harlow may have no interest in entertaining MGK, as the latter has all but taken himself out of the Hip-Hop world recently. However, only time will tell what happens next. Harlow may feel obliged to respond, or he might take MGK’s track as a publicity stunt. Shots have been fired regardless of what happens next, and anything is possible.
Cordae’s collaborations have gotten more significant as his career has progressed. After leaving the YBN collective, he dropped the abbreviation from his name. He fully embraced a more soulful sound in his production, and his lyrics were down-to-earth and vulnerable. However, he still put out some fun bangers, too. Cordae’s music is centered on him embracing the internal feelings he’s had through interactions with his family, significant others, and people in the music world.
The theme of self-confidence is a consistent topic, too. Cordae has only put out two projects in recent years, with his solo debut being well-received by listeners. However, his sophomore effort was a little more divisive. Still, Cordae’s authentic personality has allowed him to work with some notable acts in music. We’ve gathered seven of his biggest collaborations.
This is a Cordae collaboration that was unexpected in every way. Stevie Wonder is not a name people typically think of in the rap world, but many artists have sampled him. Cordae and Freddie Gibbs are not only distant in age but also in most of their subject matter in music. But, when talent comes together, it often produces well-received results.
The production from Kid Culture combines reflectiveness with elegance. Cordae talks about maintaining a positive, celebratory attitude on the outside when he has more going on internally. Gibb’s verse touches on a myriad of topics, and his signature voice and delivery help them all flow together. Stevie’s appearance comes after a beat switch where he showcases his harmonica proficiency. There are no vocals from him on the song. It’s almost as if his instrumental outro offers listeners a moment to reflect on what they just heard.
This collaboration is with a legendary artist in the lane Cordae makes his music in. Common is known for bringing soulful, vulnerable, and open feelings to the rap world. Being Cordae is part of the current generation doing this, it’s only right the two of them worked together. Their collaboration is a special one because it was done for Liberated/Music for the Movement Vol. 3. Cordae’s verse has him evaluating the things in life that keep him moving forward, which is reinforced by the song’s hook.
The gentle and jazzy production gives him plenty of room for this as his delivery gives a listener a feeling of hearing his internal thoughts. Common’s verse has a similar feeling and, considering his life experience views the same situation from a different perspective. This is another cross-generational collab that validates the new and old school have respect for each other.
“More Life” feat. Q-Tip (2021)
This is another collaboration with a legendary artist Cordae has already secured in his young career. This track comes from Cordae’s EP Just Until…, which held listeners until he dropped his sophomore album, From A Bird’s Eye View. Q-Tip provides a brief hook on this one and also has production credits. His distinct and smooth voice is an excellent pair for Cordae’s reflective verses as he discusses his internal feelings and how he navigates his career. This is the type of song most people associate with Cordae because it is filled with his honest feelings while still having a good bounce in the production. There’s a relatability factor running through it, too, which pulls in many of his listeners. The song’s sentiment and the music video go hand in hand with this one as Cordae visits his old middle school and college in it.
This is a Cordae collaboration from his debut album, The Lost Boy. While many debate whether the area of Virginia Pusha T calls home is part of the “DMV,” this track still brings two regional artists together. The track has a certain mysterious atmosphere, which is capitalized on by the song’s music video. Cordae crafts a verse that details his experiences in the past, and Pusha does, too.
The contrast comes in how they had different upbringings, but the common thread is they once struggled. They’ve since elevated and can look back on how it made them who they are in the present. Cordae sings on the hook, which is not uncommon for him. He even adds some background vocalizations to this hook, adding another melody to the song. Many listeners praised Pusha’s short but impactful feature.
This is a collaboration Cordae did with one of the biggest rap artists of all time. The song’s hook alludes to some situations from Cordae’s past, but his verses show how he found a new perspective through these situations. Cordae’s aggressive delivery throughout his verses indicates his passion for sharing his truth.
Interestingly enough, Em’s verse begins at almost the exact halfway point of the song. His verse has multiple flow switches; naturally, a few showcase his rapid-fire delivery skills. He also weaves in his version of the song’s hook and swaps in references to his own past. Cordae getting a feature from a legend like Eminem shows that Em believes in him and his talent. It also branches generations and can bring their separate audiences together—although there was likely already some overlap between them.
“Sinister” feat. Lil Wayne (2021)
Despite the song’s name from this Cordae collaboration, the song isn’t “dark” at all. In fact, it’s quite the opposite as the duo rap over a smooth ’90s-esque boom-bap beat. Lil Wayne is an artist that has done many features over the years, and he often adapts well to whoever he is featuring with. In the case of Cordae, he brings the same light yet confident delivery style Cordae does.
Cordae’s hook creatively references the producer of this track, frequent collaborator Hit-Boy. Wayne joins him on the hook in the song’s closing moments. Before this, he drops an easy-going verse despite the punchlines he packs in. The song’s closing moments find Cordae dropping some final bars that aren’t quite a bridge but aren’t quite an entire verse, either. They just ensure he closes the song impactfully in his own way.
“Two Tens” feat. Anderson .Paak (2023)
While “RNP” was the first collaboration between Cordae and Anderson .Paak, this song wouldn’t have happened without that one. These tracks showcase a very high level of chemistry between the two artists. In fact, because of this latest collab, many listeners want a complete collaboration project from the duo. On this track, Cordae and Anderson .Paak trade bars throughout the song’s verses. There’s a certain lighthearted playfulness to their flows as they contrast each other’s opinions. This is how there’s even a touch of humor in the song, too.
The minimalistic production gives their flows a chance to provide the song with its bounce. J.Cole has production credits on this one, which surprised listeners of all three artists. With this being Cordae’s most recent collab, listeners are wondering if any others are coming soon. What’s your favorite collab Cordae has done? Let us know in the comments section.
Jack Harlow may go to extreme measures to weasel his way out of interviews. However, he holds nothing back when it comes to trash-talking both on-screen and in his music. In his song, “They Don’t Love It,” featured on his latest album, Jackman, the rapper declared himself the “hardest white boy since the one who rapped about vomit and sweaters.” That was clearly a reference to Eminem and it prompted fans to flood social media with their thoughts on the matter. Now rapper-turned-rockstar Machine Gun Kelly is chiming in.
Instead of firing off a series of tweets, Machine Gun Kelly took it back to the essence of rap by dropping a diss track aimed at Harlow. Ironically enough, the diss was performed over the beat of Jay-Z’s 2001 song “Renegade,” which featured Eminem, his longtime rival. Throughout the freestyle, the musician takes subtle jabs, but near the end of the track, he goes in for the haymaker.
“I’m a great white I can eat these barracuda / See who I am? You’re stupid, it’s nice to meet you / I just put this hole in the ground for you like a soccer cleat shoe / I see why they call you Jackman, you jacked man’s whole swag / Give Drake his flow back, man, I eat rappers like Pac-Man / Must I regurgitate and show you who’s in my stomach / From the Last Dance? I battle rapped, no Instagrams,” raps Kelly.
Despite pouring all his energy into his creative endeavors late last year, Kelly ensured that he “never departed” from his rap music roots. This freestyle is just another example of that sentiment.

Born in 1972 in St. Joseph, Missouri, Eminem spent much of his childhood moving throughout Missouri. He eventually settled in Detroit, where he found his passion for rapping. In 1997, he released his debut album, Infinite, though it failed to gain commercial success. However, his fortunes changed when he released The Slim Shady EP in 1998.

His diverse revenue streams, including album sales, touring, endorsements, investments, and real estate, have all contributed to his impressive net worth.
Of the new albums that have arrived so far this weekend, arguably one of the most talked about so far is Jack Harlow’s Jackman. The 10-track, featureless effort chiefly shows off the Kentucky native’s pen game after a lukewarm reaction to his sophomore LP, Come Home The Kids Miss You. Of the titles on the tracklist, one that’s earned a significant amount of attention so far is the second, “They Don’t Love It,” on which he cleverly compares himself to Eminem – an artist he’s looked up to for most of his life.
“Ya boy’s strivin’ to be the most dominant ever / The hardest white boy since the one who rapped about vomit and sweaters,” Harlow rhymes on his latest release. While his biggest fans would obviously agree with that statement, so many were ready to argue with the “WHAT’S POPPIN” hitmaker that one of his contemporaries’ names began trending on Twitter today (April 29). According to many, the late Mac Miller is undeniably the one who deserves that moniker, not him.
Jack Harlow Calls Himself “The Hardest White Boy” Since Eminem
“Until Jack Harlow drop a verse like Paul Wall on ‘Sitting Sideways,’ or give us albums like Mac Miller he can respectfully shut the f*ck up,” one certainly upset user wrote. Another chimed in with, “Mac Miller was better than both of y’all if we being honest,” not-so-subtly dissing both Harleezy and Slim Shady. Elsewhere, others markedly begged fans to leave the fallen Circles artist’s name out of the conversation. They’ve previously done this during other online discourse, involving names like Pete Davidson, Ariana Grande, and Kanye West.
Thus far, other fan favourites from Jackman appear to be “Gang Gang Gang” and the project’s longest effort, “Blame On Me.” This is the first full-length work we’ve heard from the 25-year-old since last year’s album. Of course, he did come together with DJ Drama on “Mockingbird Valley” at the very end of March. Scroll further to read more Twitter reactions to Jack Harlow’s braggadocious bars on his new surprise project. Afterward, tell us who your personal favourite of the three white lyricists is in the comments below.

Rap is a boastful art form. Nobody gets in the game to be the 30th-best rapper. But sometimes, rappers make claims so bold that even seasoned hip-hop take pause to consider. In this case, it’s Jack Harlow who stakes his claim as the best white rapper since Eminem on his new album, Jackman.
In “They Don’t Love It,” Jack raps, “The hardest white boy since the one who rapped about vomit and sweaters / And hold the comments ’cause I promise you I’m honestly better than whoever came to your head right then.”
That’s a tall order, considering not only Eminem’s stature in hip-hop but also the sheer number of rappers Harlow believes he’s leapfrogged to land in such a position. The list includes predecessors like El-P and Mac Miller, peers like G-Eazy and Lil Dicky, and left-field picks like Rittz, Wynne, Yelawolf, and more.
Naturally, Jack’s line is going over as controversially as he undoubtedly intended it to with fans putting in their own arguments agreeing or disagreeing with his claim.
Jack Harlow thinks the only other white rapper in history is Eminem?? lmaoooo
No way Jack Harlow said he the hardest white rapper since Em Mac Miller, Action Bronson, shit I’ll even put Lil Dicky and Post Malone in front of bruh.
And while, truthfully, “best white rapper” is very much subjective, you have to admire the moxy Jack shows in making such a claim — and the smarts. There’s no better promotion than some good, old-fashioned water cooler talk. Don’t be surprised to see Jackman do numbers.
