Eminem performs on the super stage at Formula 1 Pirelli United States Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas on Saturday, Oct. 19, 2024.

Eminem previously dissed Suge Knight on the leaked song, “Smack You,” which appears to have been recorded in the 2000s.

Suge Knight‘s son took aim at Eminem for a new collaboration with the Polish rap group, Elita Kaliska, titled, “Ocean Krwi.” Suge J Knight is angry with the legendary rapper after the unreleased song, “Smack You,” surfaced online back in January. The track, which appears to stem from the mid-2000s, sees Eminen blame Suge Knight for the deaths of both 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G.

While Suge J doesn’t call out Eminem by name on the track, he explained the meaning to NME. “Eminem claims that the song was created in the mid-2000s. It’s strange that it’s being released now, when my father has no chance to defend himself. It’s also strange that he had many opportunities to tell him all this to his face, but didn’t have the courage,” Knight said. “An honorable man doesn’t kick the defenseless, so I decided to defend my father’s honor and record my response as part of a song that happened to be about this topic. If Em claims that this song is from two decades ago and declared in it that he will reveal the alleged truth about my father’s connection to the attack on ‘Pac, then where is his truth? Maybe he will finally have the courage to confess it?”
