Claro, Machine Gun Kelly tem estado muito nas manchetes por sua música. Mas vamos ser honestos: os fãs estão mais animados com sua colaboração romântica com Megan Fox do que com sua colaboração em vídeo com Halsey .
Fans are pretty sure that Machine Gun Kelly’s meeting Megan Fox was pretty much the best week of his life. It’s true that the rapper really rose to fame in 2018 thanks to a public feud with Eminem, but his “soulmate” status with Fox is probably helping keep him in the spotlight.

As CheatSheet highlights, it wasn’t always that way. Machine Gun Kelly struggled to get fans’ attention back in the day, releasing four different mixtapes between 2006 and 2010. So the “feud” with Eminem put Kelly in the spotlight, connecting him to the notorious rapper in a way that couldn’t have happened otherwise.
The fact that both rappers are signed to the same label (Interscope) suggests that the pair may have closer ties than fans first assumed. After all, each rapper’s diss track about the other used the same producer. Besides, MGK has called Eminem his inspiration in the past, naming him as one of the early influences on his career.
Anyway, now that “Machine Gun Kelly” is squarely in the public eye, fans want to know everything about him. Starting with his real name, and how he got his rap moniker.
According to AllMusic, the rapper was born Colson Baker and earned his rap name as a teen. He started rapping in high school and made his own way with gigs he created with the help of his manager, who was a t-shirt shop owner. Around that time, Baker also welcomed a child with his now-ex, Emma Cannon.
MGK is clearly very much in his daughter’s life (she’s 11), though the jury’s out on fans’ opinions of his parenting abilities. After all, the star is a bit reckless (and Megan Fox climbed up the roof of The Roxy in LA, according to his Instagram (and press inquiries) back in September.
Ele realmente está fazendo um nome para si mesmo como um personagem. Mas o apelido Machine Gun Kelly veio em última análise da habilidade de rap de Baker. Sua velocidade de riffs das letras era rápida, como uma metralhadora.
A se acreditar na Wikipedia, os primeiros fãs de Baker lhe deram o título, que também deriva do famoso criminoso George “Machine Gun” Kelly Barnes. O criminoso dos anos 1940, observa CheatSheet , cometeu crimes como tráfico ilegal de bebidas alcoólicas, assalto a banco e sequestro.
A conotação provavelmente não é surpreendente para os fãs, já que o próprio Baker se identifica como um anarquista e quebrou algumas regras em sua época também.
A pergunta final que os fãs têm sobre o nome de Machine Gun Kelly: é assim que Megan Fox o chama?
