Colson Baker[2] (born April 22, 1990), known professionally as MGK (formerly Machine Gun Kelly), is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and actor. He is noted for his genre duality across alternative rock with hip hop.

MGK released four mixtapes between 2007 and 2010 before signing with Puff Daddy's Bad Boy Records, an imprint of Interscope Records the following year. His debut studio album, Lace Up (2012) peaked at number four on the US Billboard 200 and was led by the single "Wild Boy" (featuring Waka Flocka Flame), which marked his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 and received triple platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). His second and third albums, General Admission (2015) and Bloom (2017) were both met with critical praise and similar commercial success; the latter was supported by the single "Bad Things" (with Camila Cabello), which peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100. His fourth album, Hotel Diablo (2019) further experimented with rap rock.

MGK's fifth album,

pop-punk sound and aesthetic, with its production entirely helmed by Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker. It debuted atop the Billboard 200—becoming the only rock album to do so that year—and was supported by the single "My Ex's Best Friend" (featuring blackbear), which peaked within the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100. Its sequel, Mainstream Sellout (2022) served as his sixth album and matched its commercial success, although critical reception was mixed.[3]

MGK had his first starring role in the romantic drama Beyond the Lights (2014), and since appeared in the techno-thriller Nerve (2016), the horror Bird Box (2018), the comedy Big Time Adolescence and portrayed Tommy Lee in the biopic The Dirt (both 2019).

In March 2009, while he was on the verge of getting evicted, Baker traveled to Harlem's Apollo Theater, where he had consecutive victories, making him the first ever rapper to win at the Apollo Theater.[5][9][clarification needed] He recorded music in his home studio, which he refers to as the "Rage Cage",[7] and started to gain exposure when he was featured on MTV2's Sucker Free Freestyle, where he freestyled numerous verses from his "Chip off the Block" single. In February 2010, he released his second mixtape 100 Words and Running, where he derived his catchphrase, "Lace Up", which started as a mixtape interlude, before making it a prominent reference in his music. Despite his rising popularity, Baker found himself working at Chipotle to afford rent, as well as being kicked out by his father after high school. Baker soon also became a father.[5]

In May 2010, he made his national debut with the single "Alice in Wonderland", which was released on

Jackass, in the music video.[5]

In March 2011, Baker participated in his first

SXSW show in Austin, Texas, and at the show, he was approached by Sean Combs, who had offered Baker a recording contract with Bad Boy Records, which ran as an imprint of Interscope Records.

He also released a music video for "Champions" which features Diddy and samples The Diplomats song "We Are the Champions", as the music video release served as a promotional video for Black Flag.[28] On June 26, Baker released Black Flag without prior announcement.[29] The mixtape also featured guest appearances from French Montana, Kellin Quinn, Dub-O, Sean McGee and Tezo.[30] On June 4, 2013, Baker posted a picture of a letter on his social media accounts which read:

This project is dedicated to love, because for my entire life it has been taken from me. Granted, when it was given, I pushed it right back. I couldn't handle it. This was until I experienced the loss of love for what I love doing most: music. That was the one thing worth fighting for, even more-so then[sic] the love of my father. I've found that love again. And I plan on never surrendering it. Find what you love and fight!! Black Flag.[31]

Following the release of Black Flag, rumors surfaced that Baker had begun working on his second studio album. In January 2014, he confirmed that he was in the early stages of working on the album, with 2015 being the scheduled year of release.

Victoria Monet. Baker soon had an interview with MTV, describing the reason as to why he wrote "A Little More". Stating in the interview: "People always came up to me after the first album and a lot of my friends back home said 'we need something for the streets' and then I did 'Till I Die'. Months later, when I look back at the video [for Till I Die] I [was] like 'Okay, he's in jail, he's shot, he's dead, he snitched' and just to the point where it's sad and I wrote the song to describe how I see the world as a much mature person." He also updated the status on his second studio album, noting that the album is finished, and stating that the album would contain "more lyricism and [would be more] stylistically [influenced by] hip-hop but musically, sonically [would contain] more live instrumentation."[33]

On June 25, Baker released the title of his second album as General Admission, due to be released in late September 2015.[34]

Personal life

In his teens, Baker was in a relationship with Emma Cannon, with whom he has a daughter,[54] who was born in July 2009.[91]

He is open about his use of cannabis and has claimed in interviews that he smokes daily, describing it as a "source of happiness and a way people can feel a little more love [in their own right]". He has frequently mentioned cannabis references within sources of his music and rap persona, making it a forefront of both his rap and personal character.[92] Before the release of Lace Up, he had an addiction to heroin.[93] He was also a heavy user of cocaine and alcohol before 2020,[94] when he revealed that he had become addicted to Adderall and was seeking treatment.[95]

In a 2012 interview, he stated that he identifies politically as an anarchist.[96] In 2022, when he was asked on whether he plans to vote in the midterm elections, he replied: "I have anarchy tattooed on my stomach. I'm not a political person".[97]

Baker was in a relationship with model and actress Amber Rose for two months beginning in April 2015.[98] He dated model Sommer Ray from March to April 2020.[99] Since May 2020, he has been in a relationship with actress Megan Fox after the two met while filming Midnight in the Switchgrass.[100][101] On January 12, 2022, Fox announced that the two were engaged.[102] In March 2024, Fox revealed that the couple had called their engagement off.[103]

Feuds

Two of Baker's highest profile feuds: Eminem (top), Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor (bottom).

Eminem

Baker's feud with

Killshot
," in response to "Rap Devil".

On January 17, 2020, Eminem released the song "

RJMrLA and Lil Duke, which featured a verse directed at Eminem.[53] On December 18, 2020, Eminem released the song "Gnat". In this song, Eminem dissed Baker in the chorus.[106] On December 15, 2021, Dr. Dre released a song titled "Gospel" off his new EP The Contract featuring Eminem. In this song, Eminem dissed Baker again.[107]

In January of 2022, fans speculated the feud would reignite after TikToker Hannah Neuman (@unluckyp1ckle) resurfaced a 2013 interview with

Fuse.tv, wherein a then 23 year old Baker said he had a crush on an underage Kendall Jenner and wouldn't wait until she was 18 to pursue her. [108] [109] Baker continued the interview by praising other celebrities like Robert Plant and Axl Rose for their relationships with a 14 and 16 year old girl, respectively, prompting commenters to spotlight Baker's past comments about Hailie once again. [110] In response to the backlash, Baker tweeted a quote from Eminem's song, "The Way I Am," furthering the speculation about the controversy rekindling their feud. [111]
Eminem declined to comment on either situation, however.

G-Eazy

Baker's feud with

Hot 97. The same day, Baker tweeted side-by-side photos of the two, with the caption "I fucked his girl now he looks like me this shit overbearing".[112] In the track "Killshot", Eminem defended G-Eazy and the two ended the feud in April 2019, through what NME described as an "intervention by Eminem".[113] In October 2019, G-Eazy stated that Kid Cudi is the reason why the feud ended.[114]

Corey Taylor

In 2021, Baker engaged in a feud with Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor after being alluded to in an interview where Taylor stated: "I hate all new rock for the most part — well, the artists who failed in one genre and decided to go rock. And I think he knows who he is, but that's another story."[115] At Riot Fest in September 2021, Baker and Slipknot were scheduled to play on the same day and time, albeit on different stages. Baker took the opportunity to respond to Taylor's comments, beginning his set by asking the crew to light the crowd so he could "see who chose to be here instead of with all the old weird dudes with masks." He later insulted the band again by stating, "You wanna know what I'm really happy that I'm not doing? Being 50 years old, wearing a fuckin' weird mask on a fuckin' stage, talking shit."[116][117]

Later on, Baker revealed on Twitter that Taylor was originally meant to feature on "Can't Look Back", a song for Tickets to My Downfall, but the collaboration did not come to fruition because Baker thought the verse was "fucking terrible" and accused Taylor of being bitter about not being featured on the album.[118] Taylor responded to the tweet by sharing screenshots of emails between himself and Travis Barker, producer of Tickets to My Downfall, that showed he was the one who respectfully declined to appear on the track due to creative differences. In response, Baker stated that he had simply wanted Taylor to rewrite his verse, reiterating his previous assertion that it was "really bad."[119]

Taylor later addressed the feud during a fan Q&A in January 2022 where he claimed that Baker had started it. He went on to insult Baker's change in musical direction and told him to "suck every inch of my dick."[120][121]

In July 2022, Baker admitted in his Life in Pink documentary that he regretted his feud with Taylor and wished that both of them handled the situation better instead of acting "ridiculous."[122] In 2023, Taylor also expressed remorse regarding the feud they had, even clarifying that the two singers have a lot in common, saying: "He and I are very similar in certain ways. Which, shock and awe. Big-mouth singers. We are big-mouth singers".[123]
