Eminem has responded to Nick Cannon’s diss track “The Invitation,” and Twitter is already burying the “Wild ‘N Out” host.

Doesn’t seem like Mathers is too concerned with the attack. He followed that tweet up with a joke: “I demand an apology Nicholas, you’ve made my gardener so jealous!”
I demand an apology Nicholas, you've made my gardener so jealous!
