Following the leak of an unreleased verse by Eminem that slams Revolt TV, the rapper has issued a well thought out statement.

While it was never intended to be released as such, a leaked version of Conway The Machine's 2019 song 'Bang' originally contained a verse by Eminem that didn't quite make the cut and remained unheard by many with it's original versus until it was recently leaked.

The verse in question was excluded on Conway The Machine's song called 'Bang', that included the phrase: "Shout to Puffy Combs, but fuck Revolt/ Y’all are like a fucked up remote/ Now I get it why our buttons broke/ Cause you pressing him but do nothing though, especially when it comes to punches throne," he raps on the verse."

Following the leak, Revolt TV quickly took to social media with a curt, "Fuck you too, Eminem" before returning to their typical posting.
