Eminem and Joe Budden’s feud is back in the headlines.
Over the weekend, an alternate version of Conway the Machine and Eminem’s collaboration “Bang” leaked online with Slim Shady dissing the former Slaughterhouse rapper along with Diddy’s network REVOLT.
Yeah, shout to Puffy Combs, but fk REVOLT / Y’all are like a fued up remote, now I get it why our button’s [Budden’s] broke.

Em also took some shots at Budden’s infamous altercation with Migos:
Tell this journalist to stick to the stuff he knows / Like always running from Migos.

After hearing the diss, Budden addressed the leaked track on the latest episode of his “Joe Budden Podcast.”
Listen, I was 100 percent prepared to come on here and scream on [Eminem’s manager] Paul [Rosenberg] cause I thought Paul leaked this. I was prepared to come on here and tell Paul and Em to read the room. Now’s not the time for all of that. But this is an old verse. Mal is right, you don’t get offended by old verses. And two, I don’t think anybody’s on that right now. I don’t think Em is on that, I don’t think my Slaughterhouse brothers is on that. I don’t think anybody is on that side right this second. I feel safe speaking on that, I won’t tell you why I feel safe speaking on that but I do.
Joe Budden
Budden says he is grown too much to respond to the leaked diss with any energy in this current state of the world.
That’s not really where the focus is right now. That’s not where our concern is, or where it should be. It’s way too much important shit going on right now. Even if I was going to come in here and start screaming, I’m not rapping so that’s not fun. Nothing about this is fun.
Joe Budden
Budden went on to call for unity while applauding Em’s verse.
It’s more power in the unity. I’m going to assume we were taking some baby steps to try to reach unity with some of the behind-the-scenes conversations that were taking place. So, nah, this is not 35-year-old Joe that’s going to come and f**k everything up ’cause I’m mad about some old shit. I’m going to be mature – I’m 40. Great verse!

Elsewhere on the leaked version of “Bang,” Eminem shouted out the late Mac Miller while once again dissing Machine Gun Kelly.
And f**k that little blonde bitch too / RIP Mac Miller.
