Justin Bieber has decided to call out Eminem for his grim outlook on the future of hip hop. On Wednesday morning, Bieber hopped on his Instagram Story to share a screengrab of his phone playing "The Ring," the opening track of the 46-year-old rapper's surprise 2018 album Kamikaze, which takes aim at Machine Gun Kelly, Lil Pump and more. Then Bieber shared his in-the-moment response to the fiery track, writing, "I just like Em's flow but don't like that he's dissing new rappers. I like the new generation of rap he just doesn't understand it." Instagram Instagram There's no denying that Eminem seems mystified by the current state of hip-hop, complaining about "mumblin'" and "mumbo-jumbo" rap on the song. But it's also important to note that picking fights is part of the veteran performer's schtick -- and that extends well beyond the realm of hip hop. Over the course of his career, he's taken aim at everyone from Moby to Will Smith to Mariah Carey. Bieber's response to the track comes just one day after he shared photos of himself and Ed Sheeran striking the same happy pose in front of a green screen. Naturally, this ignited speculation that a collaboration is in the works. The 25-year-old singer kept fans guessing by captioning the images with simply, "10." Although Bieber seemingly announced a hiatus from music in March to focus on his marriage and emotional well-being, he teased that his fourth album is "coming soon" when he surprised fans on stage during Ariana Grande's set at Coachella. So it's anyone's guess as to how soon this possible collab could see the light of day.

It appears that Eminem, 46, could care less about Justin Bieber’s May 1 shade-filled Instagram message about him. A source close to the rapper EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife that he actually laughed at the diss. “Eminem really doesn‘t care how Bieber feels about his flow and laughed when he saw what Justin wrote about him online,” our source shared. “Em is not crazy about Justin‘s music, it ain’t for him, so he doesn‘t care how he feels about him or who he disses. Em has also dissed Justin in the past and will probably make fun of him again. He is not too mad or scared of Justin and not worried about some war or feud with him. Eminem can take it as well as he can dish it, so it is all good,” the insider revealed. HollywoodLife has reached out to reps for both Bieber and Eminem for comment. Justin’s social media post was in reference to Eminem’s August 2018 album, Kamikaze, which featured a slew of scathing diss tracks. “I just like Em’s flow but don’t like that he’s dissing new rappers. I like the new generation of rap he just doesn’t understand it,” Justin wrote in his IG stories. The post was shared just after The Biebs revealed that he was bumping the controversial album on his plane ride. No celebrity was safe on Eminem’s last record, and Em used the record as a platform to throw shade at Lil Yachty, Drake, Lil Pump, Lil Xan, Machine Gun Kelly, and even Tyler The Creator. Then in December of 2018, he took a shot at Justin with his “Kick Off” freestyle. “Justin Bieber in a Catholic school / Selling dust and reefer when your back is to him / Don’t adjust your speaker,” he rapped on the track. Most notably, Eminem has feuded with rap newcomer Machine Gun Kelly, who fired back at Eminem’s diss track with one of his own. MGK dropped “Rap Devil” in September of 2018, and slandered Slim Shady’s “last four albums” and labeled him “sober and bored.” But, for Eminem, it looks like he can take it just as much as he can dish it.<doc-sep>Posting on his Instagram story, Justin Bieber had some words for Eminem. Following a screenshot of Kamikaze opening track "The Ringer," Bieber wrote what he thought of the song. "I just like Em's flow but don't like that he's dissing new rappers," he explained.

"Justin Bieber in a Catholic school/Selling dust and reefer when your back is to him," Em rapped. Kamikaze originally came out August 2018, and "The Ringer" instantly became one of the most talked about tracks upon its release. Em spends the majority of the Ronny J-produced track taking aim at the current state of hip-hop, lamenting the "mumblin'" and "mumbo-jumbo" rap from the likes of Lil Pump among others. "The Ringer" wasn't the only song to spark conversation, however, with many calling out the 46-year-old rapper for his homophobic lyrics directed at Tyler, the Creator on "Fall." Bieber recently made a surprise appearance on-stage with Ariana Grande during her Coachella set, promising fans that his new album is "coming soon."<doc-sep>"The Ringer" is the opening track from Eminem's surprise album Kamikaze. He specifically says that he's not dissing the so-called "mumble rappers" he doesn't enjoy listening to, at one point rapping: "I can see why people like Lil Yachty, but not me though / Not even dissin', it just ain’t for me." However, he gets more barbed later in the song: "I heard your mumblin' but it’s jumbled in mumbo-jumbo / The era that I’m from will pummel you, that’s what it’s comin' to / What the fuck you’re gonna do when you run into it? / I’m gonna crumble you and I’ll take a number two."
