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.

Machine Gun Kelly Gets Reflective On Somber Single “BMXXing”

by

Machine Gun Kelly has been all over the map stylistically. He went from fast raps to pop rap to pop punk in the span of a single decade. He also battled Eminem, but we know how that went. It’s been interesting to see the artist straddle the line between his new and old style on his latest releases. He veered back in the hip-hop lane with the collab EP genre: sadboy, but “BMXXing” is a legitimate attempt to make a rap song that’s contemplative and laid back. It’s MGK’s version of a boom-bap track.

There are tinges of Machine Gun Kelly’s pop punk persona in the instrumental. There are guitars laced throughout the beat, and the backing vocals have a melodramatic feel to them. The drums and the lack of singing, however, firmly grounds “BMXXing” in the hip-hop genre. MGK talks about riding bikes as a kid, and struggling to reconcile his dreams with the personal struggles he faced on a daily basis. Things get serious quick, with references to the rapper’s mental health and his parents’ fractured marriage. It’s reminiscent of Lupe Fiaco’s “Kick, Push” in concept, even though the approach and sound couldn’t be further apart. All things considered, a pretty good effort from Machine Gun Kelly.

Let us know what you think of this brand-new track, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

Machine Gun Kelly Airs Out His Troubled Childhood

Quotable Lyrics:

Wish I was a baller, but instead I’m on a bench
Stuck with memories of dad callin’ mom a b*tch
Common sense knows I won’t be an athlete
And no girls gonna want me with this acne
Absorbin’ negative vibes, I’m attractin’

Machine Gun Kelly Doesn’t ‘Want Any Smoke’ With Taylor Swift’s Fan Base As He Refuses To Diss Her

by

People, generally speaking, like Taylor Swift; The fact that her new album, The Tortured Poets Department, just became the first project to accumulate 1 billion Spotify streams in a single week is evidence of that. Pair that with the fact that her Swiftie fan base is a passionate crew and it’s not often that you see people dissing Swift. With that in mind (and also accounting for the fact that he just likes her), Machine Gun Kelly absolutely refused to go after Swift.

This happened on yesterday’s (April 24) episode of Hot Ones Versus, a spin-off of the popular Hot Ones series in which two celebrity guests play a version of truth or dare, in which they have to eat a spicy wing to avoid responding to a potentially difficult question or prompt. MGK was paired up with Trippie Redd, and Redd asked MGK to say three bad things about Swift.

Kelly deadpanned to the camera and declared, “Ladies and gentlemen, you have got to be out of your motherf*cking mind if you think I want any smoke with that fan base. Also, Taylor is a saint and very nice to me, and Travis is my bro.”

Redd jokingly responded, “Kiss her feet while you’re at it,” and MGK replied, “Jesus Christ… I just… bro, she’s very nice! She’s very, very nice.”

Megan Fox Confirms Engagement With Machine Gun Kelly Is Called Off

by
machinegunkelly

Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox broke the internet when the lovebirds revealed they were officially a couple. Fans quickly showed their support, as it seemed their love kept growing stronger as time went on.

Most recently, Megan went on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast to reveal that her engagement with the Ohio recording artist is called off — but she still calls him her “twin soul.”

Megan states, “I think that what I’ve learned from being in this relationship is that it’s not for public consumption. As of now, I don’t have a comment on the status of the relationship, per se. What I can say is [he] is what I refer to as being my ‘twin soul’ and there will always be a tether to him, no matter what.”

The couple originally got engaged in January 2022, but things have since gone up and down within their relationship.

Megan adds, “I can’t say for sure what the capacity will be, but I will always be connected to him somehow. Beyond that, I’m not willing to explain.”

MGK and Megan began dating in June of 2020, initially sparking dating rumors as Megan made a standout appearance in the MGK’s “Bloody Valentine” music video. US Weekly recently reported that the two are also no longer living together.

A Producer Insulted Trippie Redd And Machine Gun Kelly’s ‘Genre:Sadboy,’ And Things Got Ugly Quick

by

MGK (the artist formerly known as Machine Gun Kelly) and Trippie Redd will release their recently announced joint project, Genre:Sadboy, on Friday, March 29. One producer will no longer be credited.

On Monday, March 25, a musician going by Kaixan wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “the way I just learned I have a beat placement in this this morning and I know it’s bout to be the worst song I’ve ever heard.” The comment was in response to OnThinIce’s post about Genre:Sadboy‘s release date. On Wednesday night, March 29, Trippie Redd responded to Kaixan. “Thanks for letting me know. You have been removed from the album. Good luck.”

Of course, it didn’t end there. Is Twitter beef ever succinct? Kaixan wrote, “thank God ur label paid me in advance [crying emoji, cry-laughing emoji, peace sign emoji],” but Trippie Redd didn’t back down, writing, “This cap. I’ll double the money if you show proof you got paid [blue baseball cap emoji].” MGK also chimed in. “Played himself for twitter likes [clown emoji].”

It’s unclear which Genre:Sadboy song featured Kaixan’s beat, not that it matters anymore. Across several posts, Kaixan went on to explain the issue with being associated with MGK and Trippie, as excerpted below:

“Yall think this funny but name another time a producer has stood by their morals. Most of yall to this day would silently work with terrible corrupt people just for an opportunity. I promise you despite what they say you can still make it in this industry as yourself.

Please never stop being true to yourself and true to the music. Yall got this. That’s all imma say hope yall have a good week.

Please redirect trippie hate to mgk cuz I never said I had an issue with bro I just don’t wanna be tied to no minor lover.”

MGK and Trippie Redd dropped Genre:Sadboy (Documentary) last week and “Lost Boys” on Tuesday, March 26. Watch the documentary above, or watch the “Lost Boys” video below.

Machine Gun Kelly And Trippie Redd Announced Their ‘Genre:Sadboy’ Project With A Very Sad Song Snippet

by

Keeping up with Machine Gun Kelly’s announcements is a full-time job. Or is it only “mgk” now? He may or may not have changed his stage name earlier this month. In February, MGK revealed an all-black, nearly full-torso tattoo. And that’s without even mentioning his on-again, off-again relationship with Megan Fox. But in January, MGK wrote something on X (formerly Twitter) that unintentionally (or maybe intentionally) correlates with his latest announcement: “Ultimately, I’m sad at how people perceive me in general.”

On Wednesday, March 20, MGK and Trippie Redd announced Genre:Sadboy, “a project by us.” It will arrive next Friday, March 29.

The punk-rap artists (and fellow Ohioans) jointly introduced the project with a black-and-white Instagram video showing them vibing in the studio to one of their unreleased songs, and it’s particularly sad — even by Genre:Sadboy standards.

“I recorded two tonight,” MGK sings. “One is for all those I love, this one’s for the suicide / Everything is blue inside / Everyone ain’t you and I / People won’t say how they feel about you until you die.”

Genre:Sadboy also has its own Instagram page, which could mean that MGK and Trippie’s collaborative partnership will extend beyond what drops on March 29. This afternoon, March 21, MGK and Trippie Redd premiered a YouTube documentary about the project this afternoon, giving deeper insight into the process behind it and what can be expected from it.

As long as we’re drawing parallels between MGK’s recent online behavior and Genre:Sadboy, we may as well do the same for Trippie Redd. In late January, he went on Instagram Live to (yet again) shut down rumors that he worships the devil.

“I’m just a weirdo, bro,” Trippie said, in part. “I like to get tats on my face! I like to wear all black! I like to look goth! Feel me? Sh*t’s a lifestyle. Maybe I’m depressed. Maybe I like to be the gloomy one in the room. I’m from Ohio. It’s always gloomy there. Y’all don’t get it. I’m a real sadboi. I’m a real loner. Maybe I hide it with my personality and sh*t, but so what? I’m human.”

MGK last released Mainstream Sellout in 2022, while Trippie dropped Mansion Musik, A Love Letter To You 5, and Saint Michael throughout 2023.

Are Megan Fox And Machine Gun Kelly Still Engaged?

A little over a year ago, Megan Fox sparked rumors that she and fiancé Machine Gun Kelly had broken up, first by deleting some Instagram photos, then by being spotted out and about without her engagement ring. So, what’s the deal?

Are Megan Fox And Machine Gun Kelly Still Engaged?

On the March 20, Fox-featuring episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, host Alex Cooper noted that Fox “got engaged, then I think it was called off,” as NME notes. Fox replied, “All those things you said were accurate things that have occurred.”

Fox then spoke vaguely about the current status of her and MGK’s relationship, saying, “I think that what I’ve learned from being in this relationship is that it’s not for public consumption. I think, as of now, I don’t have a comment on the status of the relationship, per se. What I can say is [he] is what I refer to as being my ‘twin soul’ and there will always be a tether to him, no matter what.”

So, what appears to be the case is that at one point, Fox and MGK broke off their engagement, and it’s not currently clear if it is still called off, or what they current relationship status is.

Megan Fox Makes An Extremely NSFW Comparison To Defend Drinking Machine Gun Kelly’s Blood

Back in 2022, Megan Fox generated some attention when she said (and then said again) that she and Machine Gun Kelly sometimes drink each other’s blood. This apparently led to rumors that she’s Satanic and/or in the Illuminati, which she addressed on a recent episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast.

As HipHopDX notes, on the March 20 episode, Fox said:

“Everything is a matter of what you’re accustomed to or what is currently socially acceptable or normal. And back in like the ’50s even, how many times did you see like, little boys would go out with their little pop guns and they would cut their fingers and be blood brothers, right? And they’re like, ‘We’re best friends forever now.’ They would smush the blood together on their fingers. That’s not Satanic, right? That’s normal and that’s cute. It’s like that except instead of rubbing your fingers together, the drop of blood goes in your mouth. And I don’t know why that becomes Satanic.

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?”
