For Jack Harlow fans, his Jackman album that landed earlier this spring was a pleasant surprise – especially for those who previously expressed a desire to see the budding actor work on his pen game following his sophomore LP. Unfortunately for Harlow, his project left a bad taste in the mouth of at least one of his contemporaries, who didn't hesitate to diss the young rhymer in a freestyle over Jay-Z's Eminem-produced 2001 hit, "Renegade." Machine Gun Kelly shared his work shortly after Jackman made its debut, complete with bars from the artist declaring himself "the hardest white boy" since Slim Shady.
"I see why they call you Jackman, you jacked man’s whole swag / Give Drake his flow back, man, I eat rappers like Pac-Man," the father of one rhymes, accusing Harlow of following too closely in the footsteps of Drizzy. The "Nail Tech" hitmaker didn't respond at the time, but during a recent sitdown with Rap Radar, he was asked to share his thoughts on MGK's bars. "How do you take it in? I guess you just f**king take it," Jack said of the hate that comes along with being famous.

The White Men Can't Jump star continued, "Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, and I feel great about what I said, and I feel great about the reaction. It just is what it is." Harlow added that he feels "no reservations about what was said at all," and that "talking [his] shit" is just part of being "an MC."
Elsewhere on the podcast, the 25-year-old spills on making his acting debut in the recent 1992 remake, which Twitter has had mixed reactions to. On top of that, he also recalls receiving praise from Kendrick Lamar and shares his thoughts on the current state of the music industry.
