[MGK] actually wrote his verse, and I was like, "I want the rapping Machine Gun Kelly. I want you to freaking give me the Eminem diss." He went in the studio and recorded it, and he sent it back. Then we rewrote it, and we recorded it again, and it was perfect. Every time I send him a verse, he makes me rewrite mine too. We’re always challenging each other.
— Blackbear
