At the tail end of last year, hip-hop saw a short-lived but extensively documented beef between Machine Gun Kelly and Eminem. While it seems both artists have moved past the moment, Young Thug has chimed in to let people know who he thinks won the battle.

Thugger posted a video to his Instagram story, in which MGK is seen behind a turntable, entertaining a bunch of partygoers. The caption of the video simply read "THE ONE GUY THAT MURDERED "M."

It remains unclear why Thug has decided to weigh in on the battle now, as the beef concluded several months ago (though Eminem and Kelly took shots at each other earlier this year).

If you remember, the lyrical warfare started when Slim Shady mentioned Kelly on his surprise album Kamikaze. The latter responded with the bar-heavy track "Rap Devil," a play on Em's "Rap God." Almost two weeks after that, Eminem released "Killshot," which was the last time the two addressed one another on wax. The song did celebrate a historic debut—breaking YouTube's record for more views in 24 hours than any hip-hop video in the site's history—though several rap pundits and fans still debate over who actually came out triumphant.

Speaking of past tensions, MGK has recently put his issues with G-Eazy to bed, evidenced by their willingness to perform together in early April.
