Florida rapper Lil Pump might have just pushed the limit on possible clout-chasing. After creating a buzz for himself by publicly endorsing Donald Trump last month, the South Beach rap artist is inviting more controversy by dissing hip-hop icon Eminem.
Lil Pump Takes Aim At ‘Lame’ Eminem
Eminem is the talk of the rap world after dropping his new Music to Be Murdered By – Side B album last week. Right on schedule, Lil Pump popped up to make himself heard by lighting up his Instagram page with some direct shade aimed at Slim Shady.
“F*** Eminem, you is lame as hell, ain’t nobody listening to your old a**. You lame as f***, b****! I woke up on bulls*** today, I’m back on my f*** s***.”
Will Eminem Respond To Lil Pump?
Prevailing opinion among hip-hop fans seems to be that Lil Pump is trying to get a rise out of Eminem. If Em responds with a diss to Pump, that only keeps Pump’s name in the headlines.
“MFW @lilpump disses @Eminem out of nowhere in hopes of a diss track to boost his relevance.”
Lil Pump Cryptocurrency Is Here
Move over, Bitcoin. Lil Pump is trying to make it rain digitally in the club by launching his own cryptocurrency called PumpCoin.
According to a press release, PumpCoin “will let you game directly with the rapper himself,” as well as engage with Lil Pump in other, unspecified ways. No word yet on how exactly that’s going to work. The company said the coin would be announced later today, and described it as being “like Cameo but even cooler.” (Cameo is a service that lets you pay celebrities to send you personalized videos.)

Lil Pump Supported Donald Trump’s Re-Election Bid
Determined to take the crown as hip-hop’s biggest Donald Trump supporter, Pump said ahead of the election that he’d leave the United States if Trump wasn’t re-elected President.
