White on White Beef - Cleveland, Ohio's Machine Gun Kelly recently went on record to clear up a misunderstanding between himself and fellow white rapper Yelawolf. MGK says that comments he made about Yela on Power 105's morning show The Breakfast Club, in New York weren't meant to diss.

It got particularly drastic on "I Remember," on which Em made fun of Everlast for having a heart attack, rapping, "I was right there laughin' when I heard the news / I just wish the cardiac would'a murdered you."
