Machine Gun Kelly said "sayonara" to a racist fan after they told him he'd lost their support because he was attending a protest for George Floyd. For several days now, folks have taken to the streets to protest the unjust murder of George Floyd at the hands of police in Minneapolis. One such protester fighting for the end of police brutality and racial injustice was Machine Gun Kelly, who was seen attending the protests in L.A. MGK has been very vocal since George Floyd's murder, taking to Twitter to denounce "white privilege," "the system," and "the Boyz" (cops). He also happily bid adieu to one of his fans who appeared not to support the Black Lives Matter movement.

"On my way to the protest," MGK tweeted on Saturday (May 30th). "See you out there." A troll then felt the need to reply to the tweet, telling MGK that he was "on my way to delete all your albums now." This did not bother the rapper/singer in the slightest; in fact, he told the former fan, "good, i don’t want your racist money."
On Thursday (June 4th), MGK and his good friend, Travis Barker, decided to cover of Rage Against The Machine's "Killing In The Name" in further protest of systemic racism and police brutality. Along with the cover, he shared a music video compiled of footage of the L.A. protests as well as him and Travis jamming out in the studio.
Machine Gun Kelly Shares BTS Footage Of Megan Fox In A Towel
Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox wear next to nothing in some behind the scenes footage from MGK’s “Bloody Valentine” music video shoot.
Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox were clearly quite comfortable wearing very little clothing around one another on the set of his music video for his new song, “Bloody Valentine.” On Wednesday (May 20th), fans were reeling after Megan appeared in MGK’s music video just days after they were spotted together in L.A., sparking dating rumours. The whole thing wouldn’t have been so messy if Megan wasn’t still married to her husband, Brian Austin Green, although he has since confirmed their suspected split.

While some thought that Megan’s appearance in MGK’s video only served to support the dating rumours, others felt that their initial link up was ultimately nothing but a publicity stunt to build hype for the visuals. However, now MGK has released some behind the scenes footage from shooting the chaotic video, showing them in a pretty intimate situation.
In the black-and-white BTS clip, what appears to be a completely nude MGK—save for a towel covering his junk—asks Megan to rip a piece of tape off his back. Megan walks in wearing only a towel and attempts to rip the tape off in one go, but doesn’t quite muster up the strength. After her first pull, MGK yelps out in pain, telling her to “just go, finish the f*cking job!.” Megan jokes to the camera man “let me out” right before the clip ends. “OW!” MGk wrote in the caption. “Oh yea, and 4 million views on Bloody Valentine video in 24 hours!!!!”

On the same day that the video dropped, Megan spoke to interior decorator and Red Line Steel CEO, Colin Wayne on IG live. Although she was noticeably not wearing her wedding ring, she still referred to her husband’s name “Green” as her “family name,” and failed to acknowledge their split in any way. Megan has yet to address the rumours that she’s dating MGK, either, although Brian claims that his estranged wife and the musician are “just friends at this point.”
Watch the “Bloody Valentine” music video below:
Megan Fox Sends Mixed Signals About Split Following Machine Gun Kelly Video
Despite appearing in Machine Gun Kelly’s “Bloody Valentine” music video amid dating rumours, Megan Fox still claims her estranged husband’s name as her own.
Megan Fox and her estranged husband, Brian Austin Green, may be on the outs, but she still considers herself part of his family, apparently. The actress caused quite the commotion last weekend when she was spotted hanging out with Machine Gun Kelly, despite still being married to Brian. However, it had been speculated for a while that the couple were heading for divorce, and shortly after Megan’s outing with MGK, Brian appeared to confirm their split on a few different occasions. Now, despite the fact that she has ditched her wedding ring and her husband has publicly addressed their breakup, Megan is still claiming “Green” as her “family name.”

On Wednesday (May 20th), the same day she appeared in MGK’s “Bloody Valentine” music video and heated up their dating rumours, Megan spoke to interior decorator and Red Line Steel CEO, Colin Wayne, over IG live about her recent partnership with the company. During their chat, Colin complimented Megan on her performance in the MGK video, which she humbly accepted. Megan hasn’t directly addressed her split from Brian nor the dating rumours about MGK yet, but it was evident during the live stream that she had ditched her wedding ring. However, this detail is hardly scandalous, considering she and Brian have both been spotted sans ring in recent weeks.
Furthermore, she showed off her custom Red Line family tree item to Colin, indicating that it was monogrammed with a crest reading “Green,” AKA her “family name.” Although it’s likely that she had this decoration made prior to their official separation, Megan is clearly not concerned with distancing herself from her estranged husband—or at the very least, his name.
As for Brian, he openly discussed their split on his podcast earlier this week. “It sucks when life changes and something that you’re used to, that you’ve been doing for 15 years, you try and not get rid of but you change,” he confessed. “There’s the unknown aspect … there’s that pit in my stomach … I really don’t want Megan and I to be at odds … she’s been my best friend for 15 years and I don’t want to lose that…I will always love her, and I know she will always love me and I know as far as a family what we have built is really cool and really special.” He also claimed that she and MGK are “just friends at this point.”
Megan Fox’s Husband Seemingly Addresses Machine Gun Kelly Dating Rumours
Megan Fox’s husband, Brian Austin Green, shared a cryptic message about a butterfly feeling “bored” and “smothered” a day after she was spotted with Machine Gun Kelly.
Brian Austin Green shared a metaphorical message about a butterfly feeling “smothered” and “bored” a day after his wife, Megan Fox, was spotted with Machine Gun Kelly, fuelling rumours that the married couple have split. On Friday (May 15th), Megan and MGK were seen grabbing some food and coffee to-go in L.A. together, before reportedly heading back to her place in Calabasas. Their outing immediately sparked rumours that the two of them were romantically involved, despite the fact that she is still married to the Beverly Hills, 90210 star. However, it has been speculated in recent months that Megan and Brian’s marriage is on the rocks, and now, it looks like he’s sending out a message about their suspected split.

On Saturday (May 16th), Brian took to Instagram, despite posting somewhat infrequently, to share a photo of a butterfly with an allegory about spreading one’s wings, so to speak.
“Eventually butterflies get bored sitting on a flower for too long,” he wrote. “They start feeling smothered. It’s a great big world and they want to experience it.” It’s worth noting that Megan famously has a tattoo that reads, “We will all laugh at gilded butterflies.” While nothing has been confirmed yet, it appears that Brian and Megan are officially kaput and that she’s moved on with MGK, although he may be nothing more than a rebound at this point.
Machine Gun Kelly & Megan Fox Spark Dating Rumours After Public Outing
Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox recently stepped out to grab a bite together, sparking rumours that she’s separated from husband, Brian Austin Green.
The latest dating rumour surrounding Machine Gun Kelly comes as a bit of a surprise, as it’s suspected he may have struck up a romance with actress Megan Fox, despite her marriage to fellow actor, Brian Austin Green. On Friday, MGK and Megan were spotted driving around Los Angeles in his car, before grabbing some coffee and food to-go. TMZ‘s sources claim that they then made their way back to Megan’s place in Calabasas.

While their little outing could have been totally platonic, it’s a little suspicious considering Megan’s got a husband at home. However, according to TMZ, the couple have been on the rocks lately. They were both spotted without their wedding rings on separate occasions, and it’s been reported that they haven’t even been living in quarantine together.

Megan and Brian have had trouble in the past, though, with Megan even filing for divorce at one point a few years ago. However, she didn’t go through with it, and the two of them eventually got back together. While they’re still legally married, it looks like they might be headed for separation in the near future, especially if MGK intervenes. Check out the video of the rapper-turned-rocker and Transformers star here.
6ix9ine Just Broke Eminem’s Youtube Debut Record With "GOOBA"
Tekashi 6ix9ine's "GOOBA" has garnered the most views in 24 hours for a hip hop video in Youtube's history, breaking Eminem's previous record with "Killshot" in 2018.
Following 6ix9ine's prodigal return to the music scene on Friday with the release of his first-prison single, "GOOBA," and accompanying visuals, the controversial artist has already broken a record for hip hop videos on Youtube. According to @chartdata on Twitter, the music video for "GOOBA" racked up the most views in a 24 hour time span on a hip hop video in the history of Youtube, making it the biggest 24 hour hip hop debut of all time.
According to HipHopNMore's estimates, the video had roughly 43 million views by the end of the first day. At the time of publication, "GOOBA" currently has over 61 million views.
The previous record for this sort of debut was set by Eminem in 2018. The audio for Em's song, "Killshot," a diss toward his foe, Machine Gun Kelly, amassed about 38.1 million views on Youtube in the first 24 hours.
Along with this Youtube feat, 6ix9ine also made history by breaking the reported record previously set by Tory Lanez for the most viewers on an Instagram live stream at once. 6ix9ine boasted a whopping 2 million viewers all tuning into his IG live at one point, annihilating Tory's 300K record which he set during an episode of Quarantine Radio.

Despite the attention it received, 6ix9ine's comeback was definitely not welcomed by some, especially many of his fellow rappers who have no interest in supporting a snitch.
Machine Gun Kelly’s Neighbors Hate Him
Machine Gun Kelly sends a fancy bottle of liquor to his neighbor Jeff Lewis after the "Flipping Out" star complained about how he's been acting around the neighborhood.
Machine Gun Kelly is in the middle of a feud with his neighbor, Flipping Out star Jeff Lewis. During a recent episode of his podcast, Lewis detailed the rapper's rambunctious behavior around their neighborhood, which is apparently getting a little out of hand.
"Colson across the street," says Jeff Lewis, using MGK's real name. "I have no issue with this guy, but there's this whatever tension brewing. He said it was actually gonna turn into the movie Neighbors and that he is Zac Efron, which means that I'm fucking Seth Rogen."
In another clip, Lewis complained about the festivities that were going on at Kelly's crib as he celebrated his thirtieth birthday.

"Yesterday was Machine Gun Kelly's dirty thirty birthday. He had a big cake in the shape of a guitar," says Lewis before complaining about how the rapper's friends were parked in front of people's driveways and fire hydrants. "I think they're so fucked up that they just stop the car wherever it lands. They have to understand I don't hate them. My neighbors hate them. My neighbors have complained about them to me. Every time the cops show up or every time a car gets towed or every time somebody gets a ticket, they're assuming it's me. It's not me."
Machine Gun Kelly has heard the complaints and he's sure there will be more to come so, in order to ease the pain and perhaps block out the noise, he's gifting Jeff Lewis a fancy bottle of alcohol.
"I'm sure there's years of noise to come from my house so I hope that we just have a mutual understanding and if you ever need anything just come knocking," said MGK. "Until then, I'm going to send this over your way. Cheers neighbor."

Machine Gun Kelly celebrates his birthday by getting on FaceTime with Marilyn Manson and covering a Rihanna song.
Machine Gun Kelly has been keeping all of his fans busy with new music every single day during the quarantine. The rapper has been locked down for twenty-one days and, unfortunately, he has to celebrate his birthday right now. While we're sure he would have been pulling some crazy ragers in Las Vegas this weekend had the circumstances been different, MGK is making the most of his big day under quarantine.
Continuing his plan to drop new vibes every day, Kellz hopped on a FaceTime call with none other than Marilyn Manson to field requests. The suggestion that came out of the rockstar's mouth is incredibly surprising.
Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images"I'm doing these covers for fun. I need a song request, what are you thinking?" asked Machine Gun Kelly on the phone. "Rihanna, Love On The Brain," replied Marilyn Manson without thinking twice about it. Uhh... alright. Is anyone else wildly surprised that Marilyn Manson, of all people, is listening to Rihanna's Anti?
Well, MGK delivered. He grabbed his guitar, set up the microphone, and came through with yet another inventive cover of a song that many would consider being way out of his range.
Listen to the brand new cover below!

Machine Gun Kelly Jams A Dr. Dre Classic
Despite his issues with the Shady/Aftermath camp, Machine Gun Kelly pays homage to Dr. Dre with his latest “Lockdown Session.”
Though it’s highly unlikely Dr. Dre and Machine Gun Kelly ever link up to collaborate, what with the whole Eminem beef and all, that doesn’t mean the Gunner has any ill will toward the good Doctor. In fact, as any self-respecting hip-hop fan should, Machine Gun Kelly has nothing but respect for Dre’s epic catalog of classics. At least that’s what we’re choosing to infer following his latest quarantine lockdown jam session, which finds him queuing up some “Still Dre” for a quick warm-up.

Channeling the spirit of Cypress Hill with a pre-game hit from the bong, Gunner kicks things off with Scott Storch’s iconic piano riff, a riff that helped close out the legendary producer’s recent beat battle with Mannie Fresh. Next up comes the drums, which he lays down while flashing a few moves picked up during his time playing Tommie Lee in The Dirt.
Unfortunately, the jam session is cut short, though its not exactly the most dynamic arrangement to begin with, not that it needs to be. Should he consider laying down a longer variant of his “Still Dre” cover, let’s not forget that damn near every jam session can always benefit from a little bass. Check out MGK’s take on Dr. Dre’s classic 2001 single below.
Machine Gun Kelly & Travis Barker Annihilate Paramore’s "Misery Business"
Machine Gun Kelly tapped his buddy and fellow rocker, Travis Barker, to perform Paramore’s 2007 hit, “Misery Business,” as part of MGK’s #LockDownSessions.
Machine Gun Kelly came through with the latest instalment of his special quarantine #LockDownSessions, this time with some help from his pal, Blink 182’s Travis Barker. The two rockers decided to take on Paramore’s pop punk banger, “Misery Business” from ’07, and the results are almost as good as the original.
Filming each of their parts in their individual homes, MGK and Travis kill their performance while still respecting the rules of social distancing. MGK launched the #LockDownSessions on March 16th, promising to cover a new song practically every day until the coronavirus quarantine is over. Although he’s only been doing these #LockDownSessions for less than two weeks now, it appears that he is already recycling material. He and his friend, Omer Fedi, already delivered an acoustic rendition of “Misery Business” for the very first #LockDownSessions instalment, but I guess we’ll let it slide in the name of isolation entertainment.

Along with his two different covers of the Paramore hit, MGK has also taken on Childish Gambino‘s “Redbone,” Kid Cudi‘s “Pursuit of Happiness,” Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” The Beatles’ “Here Comes The Sun,” and more.
