Today (November 11), Megan Fox confirmed she’s pregnant with her and MGK’s (formerly Machine Gun Kelly) first child together.

Fox shared the news on Instagram. The two-image post features a maternity photo of Fox, naked but covered in black oil as she shows off her baby bump. The second photo is of a positive pregnancy test. She tagged MGK in the post, confirming that he’s the father. The post is captioned, “nothing is ever really lost. welcome back.”

The caption references a miscarriage Fox and MGK experienced, which Fox spoke about in 2023.

Both Fox and MGK have children from previous relationships. Fox is mother to three boys — Noah Shannon Green (born in 2012), Bodhi Ransom Green (born in 2014), and Journey River Green (born in 2016) — with ex-husband Brian Austin Green, as People notes. MGK also has a daughter, Casie Colson Baker, born in 2009, per People.

Meanwhile, MGK recently spoke about how he’s perceived in the hip-hop community and how he believes it differs between races, saying, “I won’t deny that there is a subconscious stigma around that — being white in hip-hop. To me, it’s so funny because the streets f*ck with me so tough. It’s honestly from other white people that give me the most sh*t.”

MGK Is Convinced ‘Other White People’ Give Him ‘The Most Sh*t’ About His Hip-Hop Origins

by

Before he was known for dating Megan Fox, singing John Denver covers, giving himself realistic fangs, Cleveland, Ohio rocker was better known for an extended rap career that culminated in a vitriolic back-and-forth with Eminem. Departures into rock and country aside, it’s a career he maintains he never turned his back on (with a few recent singles to prove it).

In fact, in a new interview, he assigns blame for his treatment by the public to his hip-hop origins, asserting that he’s stigmatized as a white rapper — but mostly by other white people. On Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast, MGK told the internet troll turned part-time WWE superstar, “I won’t deny that there is a subconscious stigma around that — being white in hip-hop. To me, it’s so funny because the streets f*ck with me so tough. It’s honestly from other white people that give me the most sh*t.”

He also has a bit of a theory about why that might be — and it connects to that battle with fellow white rapper Eminem. “The crazy thing is there’s only been one who’s done it,” he said of dissing the hip-hop legend, who has been considered something of a North Star for other white rappers like Jack Harlow, Mac Miller, and Russ. “There’s only been one who’s done it and crossed that line of acceptance.”

You can watch the full episode above; the conversation about hip-hop begins at the 37-minute mark.

[WATCH] Machine Gun Kelly: Most White Rapper “Stigma” Comes From White Fans

by
MGK VS EM

In a recent interview on Logan Paul’s IMPAULSIVE podcast, Cleveland-born rapper Machine Gun Kelly says that the backlash he’s received for being a white rapper comes from white Hip Hop fans, not Black Hip Hop fans as once believed.

“I won’t deny that there is a subconscious stigma around that, being white in Hip Hop,” he said following co-host Mike Majlak’s comments about the criticism faced by the majority of white rappers. “To me, it’s so funny because the streets fuck with me so tough. It’s honestly from other white people that give me the most shit.”

He admits that one of his biggest enemies, Eminem, was the only Caucasian rapper to successfully “cross the color line” on the mic .“The crazy thing is, there’s only been one who’s done it. There’s only been one who’s done it and crossed that line of ‘we accept.’”

Check out the conversation at the 37:45 mark below.

Machine Gun Kelly Says Sean Strickland Is Just Not His ‘Type Of Guy’ After Rattling Off A Few Damning Accusations

by

Sean Strickland is in for the fight of his life, and it doesn’t involve a UFC octagon. Today (August 27), Machine Gun Kelly delivered a few blows to the former champion’s public image.

During the “Lonely Road” rapper’s appearance on the Impaulsive podcast, MGK let loose on Strickland.

When host Logan Paul brought Strickland up, MGK took a moment to clap back at him following the remarks he made about him, his seemingly former fiancée Megan Fox, and her children last week (August 20) on the Verse Us With Eric Nicksick podcast.

“I don’t know this guy from a crumb of bread,” he said. “I didn’t know who he was when I met him. I got hip afterward that he’s insanely racist and homophobic and just not my type of guy, so I would have never wanted to shake his hand in the first place. If you’re comfortable as yourself, you don’t care who anybody else is and how they are.”

But that was just the start of his unloading, as he straight demanded that Strickland: “Shut the f*ck up.”

However, MGK made it clear that always he wants Strickland to lay off, he’s not done with the matter just yet. “Don’t speak on me anymore and live your life,” he said. “But you won’t, and I’m going to continue laughing at you because you’re a f*cking idiot.”

Yes, MGK is known for being a wild boy. But, in this case, it appears he’s just finishing what Strickland started. If you know anything about is back-and-forth with Eminem, MGK has proven to have amazing stamina when it comes to beefs.

Machine Gun Kelly Divulges On His Rehab Journey

by

Machine Gun Kelly guested on Bunnie XO’s Dumb Blonde podcast on Monday. During their near two-hour conversation, they touched on a number of topics, including his rough childhood, issues with his mother, and why he left hip-hop to do rock instead. MGK also revealed that he has been sober for a year, having gone to rehab at the conclusion of his European tour for several substance-related issues.

“I’m completely sober from everything. I don’t drink anymore. I haven’t drank since last August,” MGK revealed. The Cleveland artist says being sober has benefited his relationship with his daughter Casie. “I’m really happy when I’m clear and me and my daughter are having our conversations and I’m coming from a place of being centered and holding space for what a child needs from their parent,” he added. “Both of my feet are on the ground and I’m unstoppable.” MGK also recalled his daughter saying that she knew when he was high during their conversations, which was a wake-up call.

Machine Gun Kelly Reveals He Is Completely Sober After Rehab Stint

In March, Megan Fox confirmed her and MGK’s engagement was off. During the recent interview, MGK admits his substance abuse had to do with the relationship ending. He also mentioned that Fox’s disappointment in him not being able to get clean was part of the reason he went to rehab at all. The two have been in a relationship since 2020. Fox also sparked pregnancy rumors after her cameo in the video for MGK and Jelly Roll’s song, “Lonely Road.“

At one point during the show, Bunnie asked MGK if he was up for a drinking contest against Jelly Roll. Kelly had to politely decline, though he did make it clear that he would have taken up that offer if he wasn’t on the sobriety path. “It just kills me because I just know I would have f*cking drank that man under the table!” It was a brief moment of levity during what appeared to be a very heavy podcast episode. MGK’s full conversation with Bunnie XO is available everywhere that podcasts are available, though the video version is not yet on her YouTube channel.

MGK’s New Music Video Has Sparked Megan Fox Pregnancy Rumors

by

MGK and Megan Fox are a celebrity couple in every sense of the phrase. They love the limelight, and using it to bolster their reputations as eccentrics. They really outdid themselves with MGK’s new music video, though. The rapper and actress appear in the video for “Lonely Road,” and they play a couple who are expecting their first child. Megan Fox can be seen sporting a very prominent baby bump throughout the video. Naturally, this has led to speculation that MGK and Fox are going to be starting a family in real life.

Pregnancy doesn’t play a part in “Lonely Road” video so much as serve as the primary focus. MGK plays a criminal who gets locked up, and Fox visits him in prison after giving birth to their child. Naturally, fans have flocked to social media to theorize that the couple are covertly revealing their own pregnancy in the process. It’s the sort of dramatic unveiling that MGK and Megan Fox would go for, but there’s no proof to support these claims. For one, Fox has recently been seen in public, and does not have a baby bump. If the bump she was sporting in the music video was real, it would have been easily spotted by fans.

MGK And Megan Fox Previously Suffered A Miscarriage

It’s also worth considering MGK and Fox’s past. The couple suffered a miscarriage in 2023, and Fox detailed the devastating aftermath during an interview with People Magazine. “I’ve never been through anything like that in my life,” she told the outlet. “I have three kids, so it was very difficult for both of us and it sent us on a very wild journey together and separately.” Fox also wrote about the miscarriage in her memoir, Pretty Boys Are Poisonous. “I want to hold your hand / hear your laugh,” she wrote in poem form. “But now / I have to say / goodbye…. As they rip you from my insides.”

MGK also took the miscarriage to heart. The rapper wrote the song “Twin Flame” in honor of his unborn child. He confirmed the inspiration during a performance at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards. “[This is] for my wife,” he said during the performance. “And this is for our unborn child.” “Twin Flame” features the sound of a heartbeat in the instrumental, furthering the emotional devastation of the song. MGK has a daughter from a previous relationship, and Fox has three kids from an earlier marriage. If they are in fact expecting, then they will let the world known soon enough.

Machine Gun Kelly Has Fangs Now

Machine Gun Kelly often makes bold aesthetic choices. MGK got a giant blackout tattoo earlier this year, he wore a suit of spikes to the AMAs in 2022, and he was rocking a very pink look earlier that year. Now, he’s got something new going on: fangs.

In a post shared yesterday (July 15), Kelly posted a video of himself, seemingly in a dental office, opening his mouth and showing off his new look. Dr. Dani B, the cosmetic dentist who did the work on MGK’s teeth, also shared the video on his own Instagram page and wrote, “I’m not sure how it happened, but @machinegunkelly finally convinced me to give him the vampire fangs he has wanted.”

Speaking of vampire-related things, Kelly and Megan Fox previously stirred up some criticism over drinking each other’s blood. Fox spoke about it earlier this year, explaining, “Everything is a matter of what you’re accustomed to or what is currently socially acceptable or normal. […] I understand people think like, ‘Hey, that’s weird.’ But guess what I think is weird? I think it’s weird that girls are out here letting guys c*m in their mouth and they don’t know these guys. F*ck you. You’re so offended that I got a drop of Machine Gun Kelly’s blood in my mouth. What is so gross about what I did with my soulmate?”

Eminem Attempts To Make Peace With MGK On “The Death Of Slim Shady”

by

Eminem and MGK have been oil and water for a decade. They’ve trash-talked each other in interviews, and dropped memorable diss tracks. Eminem is widely considered to be the winner of the battle, but he usually comes out on top of lyrical contests (Mariah Carey notwithstanding). Eminem and MGK have not mended fences since their beef peaked in 2018. Which is why Em’s decision to address the beef, along with several others, was so surprising. The rapper is really trying to reckon with the past on The Death of Slim Shady.

Eminem name drops all over the new album. “Guilty Conscience 2” is perhaps the most intriguing example of name dropping, though. Instead of insult them, Em decides to hold a mirror up to himself. He argues, in the form of both Em and his alter ego, Slim Shady, whether he was in the wrong to engage in beef. He names Nick Cannon, Christopher Reeve, and even Will Smith, but the one that was most surprising was MGK. “God, you piece of sh*t, that does it (Uh-oh, wait),” Em raps. “Yeah, b*tch, this is for him (What?). Christopher, MGK, Nick, and for Limp Bizkit and them.”

Eminem Wants To Embrace A More Positive Outlook

The adlibs are meant to be Slim Shady, while Eminem wrestles control of the song and his narrative. He’s come to the conclusion that he doesn’t want to beef anymore. At least, with the names he mentioned (he seems to have a problem with Caitlin Jenner elsewhere on the album). MGK stands out, though, because he gets a second reference on the song. “Guilty Conscience 2” ends with Eminem killing the Slim Shady persona and fulfilling the album’s title. In doing so, he uses the name of the diss song that he released against MGK. “Last hoorah, I bid you goodbye. Murder suicide,” Eminem spits. “Killshot, booyaka, c*ck sucker. Coup de grâce, motherf*cker.”

MGK has voiced frustration with Eminem in the aftermath of their beef. He told USA Today that his music wasn’t taken as seriously in the wake of “Killshot.” “[Hotel Diablo] was coming off the tail-end of that infamous beef,” he noted. “So no one wanted to give it the time of day.” MGK has rebounded as a pop punk star, and Eminem has seemingly moved on from the vitriol to a healthier place. Hopefully the two of them can keep the past in the past.

MGK Gets Extra Personal On “Hotel Diablo: Floor 13 Edition”

by

MGK is at an interesting point in his career. He found success as a rapper, then pivoted to pop punk. Now, he’s attempting to combine these genres into something uniquely him. The standard version of Hotel Diablo was mostly successful in doing this, but the deluxe version, aka Floor 13 Edition, proves that there’s even more to MGK’s stylistic fluidity than originally thought. There are six extra songs on Hotel Diablo: Floor 13 Edition, and they showcase impressive range in terms of tone and topic. The Ronny J beat on “El Pistolero” is going to make it an obvious standout for rap fans. It’s one of the best songs on the whole album.

Things get woozier and more reflective as the Floor 13 Edition wears on. “Bullets with Names” carries over the horns from “El Pistolero,” but have a more wistful feel to them. MGK also manages to secure a solid Young Thug feature. “FLOOR 13” is a live performance of the titular song, and it showcases MGK’s abilities as a rhymer and rocker simultaneously. The fans who like Tickets to My Downfall MGK will adore the last couple songs on the album. They are remixes of pre-existing Hotel Diablo songs, but the “sad version.” There’s acoustic guitars and dramatic strings added to “I Think I’m OKAY” and “Glass House.” The former is more successful, thanks to the YUNGBLUD feature, but all the “sad versions” are solid in their own right. Overall, an improvement on the original album.
