Five years on from the release of 'Killshot', Lil Tay has responded to Eminem's comments.
Eminem released 'Killshot' in 2018 as a diss track towards Machine Gun Kelly, but somehow Lil Tay got mixed up in it as well.
Part of the song's lyrics went: "Got more fans than you in your own city, lil' kiddy. Go play, feel like I'm babysitting Lil Tay."

Lil Tay, legal name Tay Tian, was only nine-years-old at the time of the track's release.
Eminem released the song in response to Machine Gun Kelly's song 'Rap Devil', where he labelled the 'Lose Yourself' hitmaker as a 'bully acting like a baby'.
Machine Gun Kelly's feud with Eminem may have been in vein however, as several years on from taking aim at him, MGK has ditched the rap scene all together and now releases pop-punk songs.

But Lil Tay appears to want to reignite the feud and, in a new Q&A hosted by the now-teenager on her Discord channel, Tay was asked about Eminem's remarks.
Responding to one person, the 14-year-old said: "Outstreamed the rapper that dissed me too."
Elsewhere, she gives the nod to his lyrics.

She wrote: "'Feel like I'm babysitting lil tay' - ooopsie I wouldn't give you the PLEASURE of being with me booo."
It's said that Lil Tay did the Q&A in a bid to promote her new track, 'Sucker 4 Green'.
The release of her new track comes shortly after there were reports that the teenage internet sensation had died in August.
But just days later, she released a statement to reassure her fans that it wasn't true.

"I want to make it clear that my brother and I are safe and alive, but I’m completely heartbroken, and struggling to even find the right words to say," it read.
"It’s been a very traumatizing 24 hours. All day yesterday, I was bombarded with endless heartbreaking and tearful phone calls from loved ones all while trying to sort out this mess.
“My Instagram account was compromised by a 3rd party and used to spread jarring misinformation and rumors regarding me, to the point that even my name was wrong. My legal name is Tay Tian, not 'Claire Hope'."

It went on to be reported that Tay's father, Christopher Hope, was behind the death hoax - but he has since spoken out and labelled the remarks as 'false'.
He said: "The person who is responsible for that Instagram post, as well as anyone repeating the completely false and libelous accusation within it, are virtually certain to become defendants in a defamation lawsuit.
"Everything stated is 100% false, and I trust that this should be obvious to anyone who knows me or the long history of absurd and untrue statements made by the various people who have controlled the Instagram account."
UNILAD contacted Hope at the time for further comment.
