In honor of Machine Gun Kelly’s Hulu documentary, Life Is Pink, as well as his sold-out show at Madison Square Garden in New York City, The Empire State Building lit up pink yesterday. According to the 1,451-foot-tall tower’s website, the building did so as “a symbol of strength, perseverance, and hope in partnership with Machine Gun Kelly and his new documentary, Life In Pink.”

In a video shared by The Empire State Building’s official Twitter account today, Kelly is seen dancing with one of the building’s tour guides to his hit single, “Emo Girl.”

Perhaps this video was taken before the concert and the afterparty thrown by Kelly and his fiance, Megan Fox. From there, footage on Kelly’s Instagram story of Kelly celebrating at Catch Steak after the show. During the celebration, the “Emo Girl” rapper/singer smashed a champagne glass over his head.

“I don’t give a f*ck, bro. I don’t give a sh*t,” he said seconds before breaking the glass.

But the fact that he had glass in his skin didn’t stop him from singing. In a subsequent clip, he is seen singing his hit single, “My Ex’s Best Friend.”

“F*ck it,” he captioned the video.

Last night, Machine Gun Kelly took to Madison Square Garden for a massive sold-out show, but it’s what he did after that’s making headlines this morning: At an after-party, Kelly went ahead and, keeping with his signature intensity, smashed a glass on his face and mostly acted like he wasn’t bleeding fairly heavily from his head.

In a video shared on Kelly’s Instagram Story (also viewable via Page Six), Kelly, speaking to a small crowd at New York’s Catch Steak, says, “Bro, I don’t give a sh*t,” before smashing the glass on his face. He continues talking as people around him let out audible gasps. The next clips shows Kelly, with a decent amount of blood on his face and bloody napkins in his hand, singing his and Blackbear’s “My Ex’s Best Friend.” Kelly captioned the first video, “and this is when things turned…”

This all comes after Kelly’s new documentary, Life In Pink. In the film, he describes a suicide attempt, saying, “I called [Megan Fox], I was like, ‘You aren’t here for me.’ I’m freaking out on her and I put the shotgun in my mouth. I’m yelling on the phone and the barrel’s in my mouth. I go to cock the shotgun and the bullet as it comes back up, the shell just gets jammed. Megan’s dead silent.”

In his new documentary, Life in Pink, Machine Gun Kelly spoke about his mental health battle after the passing of his father in 2020. During the film, Kelly revealed he attempted to commit suicide while on the phone with his fiancee Megan Fox.

“I flew to my dad’s apartment to clear all this stuff out. I had this really weird interaction with this neighbor who told me all these things I didn’t want to hear,” Kelly said.. “That f—– me up even more because I couldn’t get closure on it. I wouldn’t leave my room and I started getting really, really, really dark.”

According to PEOPLE, Kelly would was alone at home after the incident as Megan was in Bulgaria filming a movie. Kelly revealed he left a shotgun bedside every night and one night he “snapped.”

“I called Megan, I was like, ‘You aren’t here for me,’” he added. “I’m in my room and I’m like freaking out on her and dude, I put the shotgun in my mouth and I’m yelling on the phone and like the barrel’s in my mouth. I go to cock the shotgun and the bullet as it comes back up, the shell just gets jammed. Megan’s like dead silent.”

Kelly stated he would listen to loved ones and he realized he needed to leave drugs alone and has entered therapy.

Life in Pink is now streaming on HULU.

Machine Gun Kelly Admits To Attempting Suicide While On The Phone With Megan Fox

Machine Gun Kelly has been a magnet for a lot of negative attention over the years and in his new documentary, Life In Pink, he recalls how it all came to a head, resulting in a suicide attempt that he barely survived.

After his father died in July of 2020, MGK says he fell into a depression, during which he says he locked himself away, sleeping with a shotgun next to his bed. “I couldn’t get closure on it,” he recalls. “I wouldn’t leave my room and I started getting really, really, really dark.”

He says that even his then-budding romance with actress Megan Fox became a stressor. “I called [girlfriend Megan Fox], I was like, ‘You aren’t here for me,’”
he remembers. “I’m freaking out on her and I put the shotgun in my mouth. I’m yelling on the phone and the barrel’s in my mouth. I go to cock the shotgun and the bullet as it comes back up, the shell just gets jammed. Megan’s dead silent.”

The incident prompted Kelly to seek therapy, which he says helped him cope with life in the spotlight and losing his dad. Hopefully, he also made amends with his girlfriend for what was almost certainly a traumatizing experience.

MGK isn’t the only star who struggled with suicidal ideation in recent years. In 2021, Logic’s memoir also touched on the backlash he received from the public on social media, much of it ironically over his hit song “1-800-273-8255” named for the American National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. While the song certainly helped awareness of the issue (calls to the number went up and suicide rates went down), Logic himself nearly gave in under the weight of the negative commentary sent his direction, only reversing course to avoid becoming “a meme about how the Suicide Guy killed himself.” That’s something to think about before you hit “send” on that “funny” tweet or comment you were just typing up.

You can check out Life In Pink streaming now on Hulu.

If you or someone you know is at risk of suicide or contemplating self-harm, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255, text TALK to 741741, or visit Speakingofsuicide.com for additional resources.

Lil Wayne Smoked 15 Blunts When He Was In The Studio With Machine Gun Kelly

Machine Gun Kelly’s new Hulu documentary Life In Pink came out yesterday, which tells the story of his pivot to pop punk. Possibly the most interesting part of the whole thing is his recollection of collaborating with Lil Wayne for “Drug Dealer,” and the way the iconic rapper smoked 15 blunts.

“I pressed play on the song, he’s like, ‘Is that what we’re doing?’” MGK recalled. “‘Yeah.’ He’s like, ‘Alright. You guys got time?’ ‘Yeah, for sure.’ He goes in the courtyard, smokes 15 blunts. He just takes each, his eyes are closed just playing the track over and over again. He comes back in the studio and we can see him in the courtyard. We’re just kind of sitting there amazed, like that’s the GOAT forming his thoughts around a track that we made.”

He continued, “He comes back in at 5:30 in the morning. He’s like, ‘Y’all ready?’ He goes in the booth and he lays his sh*t like, one time. It’s just like, one time.”

Kelly previously told a similar story about working with Wayne, minus the details about blunts.

Apparently MGK’s flirtation with pop punk is coming to an end for now, because a couple of months ago he said he’ll be returning to rap music. “I’m going to make a rap album for myself, for no other reason, no point to prove, no chip on my shoulder,” he said in an interview.

young thug denied bond

Atlanta rapper Young Thug is going to remain in prison until his trial date after being denied bond in his RICO case.

Fulton County judge Ural Glanville said during a hearing Thursday that he has concerns about Thug, whose real name is Jeffrey Williams, being “a danger to the community.” 

According to Variety, CEO of 300 Entertainment, Kevin Liles even took the stand and testified that Thug who is signed to his label is “like a son” and he was willing to put up his own wealth and business to secure his bond. Machine Gun Kelly also provided character testimony on Thug’s behalf.

Prosecutors argued he is the head of Young Slime Life. Allegedly a street gang that has committed multiple murders, shootings and carjacking’s over the last decade.

The 56-count indictment includes charges of murder, robbery, witness intimidation, drug and gun possession, drug dealing and carjacking. Other notable YSL rappers were also named in the indictment, including Gunna, who was denied bond last month.

Despite the strong plea from Thug’s defense, the judge sided with the state denying bond, while also citing a possible flight risk. Adding that Thugger would pose a risk of committing additional felonies, as the “top dog” if he were released.

Young Thug is being held at Cobb County. He faces charges of conspiracy to violate Georgia’s RICO Act and participation in a criminal street gang. His trial date set for January 9, 2023.
