Did NF diss Eminem on “Returns”,: or is it a reach? If you have yet to hear the song, take a listen. It starts with a shout-out to Eminem’s manager, Paul Rosenberg. It ends with a seemingly gratifying line about “taking out” the rapper.

This has fans wondering what happened on Eminem’s last album, “Kamikaze”, in which NF wasn’t a part. So let’s break down why NF might have dissed Eminem in “Returns” and who was initially slated to be on Eminem’s latest album before the tracklist got shuffled.

So, Did NF diss Eminem on “Returns”?

Before getting into this, you’ll have to know the following:

Eminem dissed NF on his new album, Kamikaze. The diss is a reach because Eminem has not released any songs about NF or his fans.

A so-called reach because Eminem has never talked about NF in any of his previous albums: he could be talking about someone else, or he could just be making up a story about NF for the sake of the track.
Eminem has made some lines and might have provoked NF into making lyrics aimed back at him. However, you should read the lyrics and know a little about rap beef. In that case, Eminem indicates NF’s simulatory to him and his style, just like a million other rappers.

In the song “The Ringer”, Eminem dissed NF. Or is it a reach?

In the first line, he says, “I mailed the bitch back and said if I did that”. This refers to when Eminem mailed his album back to his record label after they wanted him to change his style. In the second line, he says, “I’d just be like everyone else in the fucking industry”. This refers to all other rappers who have copied Eminem’s style. The third line references how Eminem has influenced NF and how he has listened to every one of his songs multiple times. In the fourth line, Eminem says, “Especially a f*cking (NF) Recovery clone of me”. This refers to how much Eminem impacted NF’s music career and how much his songs sound like Eminem’s. He also mentions MGK.

Eminem and NF are both white rappers.

Eminem, who is not new to the music industry, is a white rapper who has released songs like “The Real Slim Shady”, “Stan”, and many more. He has sold millions of copies of his albums worldwide.

On the other hand, NF is a relatively new rapper. Still, his music and lyrics have gained popularity over the years. His song “Humble” was one of the top songs in 2017. He was nominated for best rap performance at the 60th Grammy Awards.

Close to having the same style regarding flow, lyrics, and appearance.

Both are known for their social media presence and are outspoken about the topics they care about.

They also share similar views on the current state of music and how it affects society. In an interview with Variety last year, Eminem said. “I don’t know if there’s a better time in history to be a rapper than right now.” He also said that he believes rap has more power than ever because of social media. And that rappers have more responsibility to wield this power responsibly.

NF has been outspoken about his use of social media and his desire to use it responsibly: “My fans feel like they can relate to me,” he told Billboard last year. “I want people to know that when I’m talking about my experiences and making mistakes, it doesn’t mean they should do what I did.”

Both of their careers have been successful since they came out in the industry.

They both have been successful in the industry for quite some time.

Eminem and NF have been in the rap game for a long time. Still, their careers have hit a similar stride recently. Eminem released his album Kamikaze, which was a critical success but didn’t perform commercially. Meanwhile, NF’s latest album, Perception, debuted at #2 on the Billboard Top 200 chart and is currently sitting at #1 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.

Both artists are inspired by their faith and family and connect on that level.

Eminem has been open about his faith since he first came out. At the same time, NF hasn’t explicitly stated his faith in any interviews or music videos. However, he has stated that he feels drawn to Christian hip-hop because of its honesty and authenticity. “I feel like it’s more personal,” he says in an interview with Complex Magazine. “It’s more relatable.”

NF is known to be a Christian rapper, while Eminem is not religious.

NF is from Michigan, where he was born and raised. He started rapping at 15 and released his first album in 2012.

Eminem also grew up in Michigan, but on the other side of Detroit from NF. His first album was released in 1999 when he was only 23. But he has been performing for much longer than that.

NF’s second album was released in 2013, and it reached the number-one spot on Billboard’s Christian Albums chart. The album also had four singles that hit number one on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart.

Eminem is known for his controversy-causing lyrics, including some references to drugs and violence. However, he has also spoken out against homophobia and racism throughout his career and donated money to charity organizations. Like World Hunger Relief Coalition (WHRC), which helps provide food relief programs overseas.”

The two rappers have never worked together before, but they have met in person before

NF and Eminem have never worked together before but have met in person.

It’s no secret that NF is a fan of Eminem, so it’s understandable why he might want to work with him. He even admitted in an interview that he had reached out to Eminem about collaborating on a song but was turned down. NF says that Eminem told him he didn’t think the song would be good enough for him.

Eminem also spoke about his admiration for NF’s songwriting skills, calling him “one of the best” in an interview with Beats 1’s Zane Lowe.

NF has had a lot of success

NF (Nathan Feuerstein) has had a lot of success with his hit songs “Let You Down” and “Mansion”, which were released this year alone.

He has sold more than 3 million tracks just in 2019.

However, he does not rest on his laurels and always looks for ways to improve his craft. XXL magazine recently interviewed him about Eminem’s influence on him as an artist. NF said that Eminem is one of the essential rappers in history. Still, he had reservations about “The Marshall Mathers LP 2” album because he felt that Eminem was not authentic enough regarding his rhymes and delivery.

In response to this criticism from NF, Eminem was quick to respond with an Instagram post where he called out NF for being a fanboy who doesn’t have much talent himself and whose only claim to fame so far is having a song called “Mansion” which also happens to be about living in a mansion!

NF could be dissing Eminem because of his song “Venom”,

NF could be dissing Eminem because of his song “Venom”, where he calls out several other rappers, including Drake and J Cole.

In his song “Venom”, Eminem disses the entire music industry. He calls out several other rappers, including Drake, J Cole, Pusha T and more. He even goes as far as to call out Kanye West for being a fan of Donald Trump.

Now we know that NF is not a fan of Eminem. This is evident in his songs “Outro” and “No Genre”, where he raps about how he does not like Eminem’s music or his persona.

So it wouldn’t be surprising if NF was dissing Eminem on “Returns” because he felt offended by the lyrics of “Venom”, especially since Eminem called him out in one of his verses: “I’m just gonna keep doing me/You’ll never see me on a billboard with Taylor Swift.”

NF said he would never make a diss track against anyone,

In a new interview with Genius, NF was asked about Eminem’s “Not Forgivable” diss track, released on Friday.

NF said he would never make a diss track against anyone, but if someone did it to him, he would also respond with a diss track.

“I don’t do diss tracks,” NF said. “I’m not into that game. I’m not going to disrespect somebody and then expect them [to] respect me back.”

But when asked if he would still respond to a diss track if one were made against him, NF replied: “If somebody dissed me and said all these disrespectful things about me? I would probably respond.”

Conclusion: Did NF diss Eminem on “Returns”, or is it a reach?

The title of Eminem’s song, “Venom”, uses the rhetorical device pathos. Which is used to make the audience sympathise with Eminem and make them want to root for him? This works by bringing up his problems and hardships in life. In “Venom”, all of Em’s rage, hurt, and sadness are channelled into a potent instrument explicitly made to intensify the song as much as possible. Ultimately, he brings it back to where it all started with NF to apply this technique in his most recent track.
