Eminem Ignores Royce Da 5'9 vs. Joe Budden Diss: Kxng Crooked Teases Slaughterhouse Split

Will rapper KXNG CROOKED leave the popular hip-hop supergroup Slaughterhouse if fellow members Royce Da 5'9 and Joe Budden erupt into a bitter industry feud? If so, would that leave Eminem's growing Shady Records in total shambles?

Well, no worries - the epic Twitter feud between the "I'm a King" emcee and Budden was a total joke!

Earlier this month, Royce went on a outspoken cyber rant claiming that Budden "turned his back" on his loyal Detroit buddies:

@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..."

Budden's new album All Love Lost does hit stores sometime in September or October, and now fans are extremely curious to see if he'll actually blast the iconic "Rap God" mogul.

Perhaps a great attempt at publicity? Insiders now insist that Royce was totally kidding (read more on the full story here). And in a recent statement made to HipHopDX.com, Crooked amusingly explains:

"If Em, Royce and Joe decide to go that route, I'm doing the Ice Cube and going full time SOLO! And oh yea buy Joe's album on 10/9 because I ain't no hater!"

Remember, the "Barbershop" star was a founding member of the legendary West Coast supergroup N.W.A, but left and later pursued a solo career after a nasty financial dispute in 1989.

Do MstarsNews readers find any sarcasm behind Crooked's words?

As usual, Em remains mum on the subject. Although the entire situation's likely a hoax, will this inspire yet another revenge track like Cube's "No Vaseline?"
