Eminem vs. Slaughterhouse Beef: Royce Da 5’9 & Joe Budden New Album Twitter Diss Rant HOAX

Rapper Joe Budden is a popular member of the Shady Records hip-hop supergroup, Slaughterhouse. So why would the "Put It Down Like You" emcee blast Detroit legend Eminem AND fellow bandmate Royce Da 5'9 on his new highly-anticipated solo album, All Love Lost?

Starting on August 18, the Bad Meets Evil hypeman shared these rather cryptic tweets:

@Royceda59: "A lot of people have mastered the art of sounding like they know what they're talking about... Beware of these people..."

@Royceda59: "They don't never know sh*t."

He then quickly followed-up with:

@Royceda59: "I heard you dissed me and Em on your album @JoeBudden... You sure you want that problem?"

@Royceda59: "I'm Boutta load up on Budden Diss bars... He's good... We gotta Pack a lunch."

@Royceda59: "If Joe dissed me, I would have to start drinking again to really go at him..."

He finally finished with this rather harsh response to one fan's viral Twitter statement:

@Jojo_Rubin03: "@Royceda59 @JoeBudden 2 biggest clowns."

@Royceda59: "One of these clowns ol shoot them purple earbuds right out your head..."

Well, Budden's upcoming fifth studio record officially hits airwaves on September 25 (via HipHopDX.com). However, the New Jersey native has yet to release details teasing any fresh tracks that might damagingly "blast" members of his loyal Slaughterhouse crew. So, what's up with Royce's sudden cyber rant?

Well, now sources close to the Rock City superstar insist that he was "just joking." Maybe in an attempt to help promote his friend's follow-up album?

Well, Budden finds the situation rather amusing:

@JoeBudden: "Too lit lol."

@Royceda59: "It's lit my n*gga! [fire] RT @JoeBudden: @Royceda59 oh God lol."

Apparently, another epic hip-hop beef is currently NOT in the works. Slaughterhouse is also working on a 2015 release entitled Glass House.

Meanwhile, the infamous "Rap God" remains very busy behind-the-scenes, but will likely not surprise loyal #Stans with a full-length album of his own anytime this year. Always check Instagram for any further updates.
