‘I just like Em’s flow but don’t like that he’s dissing new rappers,’ says Bieber

Justin Bieber has claimed that Eminem doesn’t “understand” rap’s newer generation, in reaction to Eminem’s previous criticism of younger rappers.
The 25-year-old Bieber made the comment on his Instagram story after sharing a screenshot of his phone screen with Eminem’s “The Ringer” from the album Kamikaze playing.
In the tune (and on the rest of the album), Eminem takes jabs at several of his fellow rappers, such as Lil Xan, Lil Pump and Lil Yachty.
One specific line goes “I can see why people like Lil Yachty, but not me though.” Eminem also raps: “Lil Pump, Lil Xan imitate Lil Wayne.”
“I just like Em’s flow but don’t like that he’s dissing new rappers,” Bieber wrote. “I like the new generation of rap he just doesn’t understand it.”
