Machine Gun Kelly, Yungblud feud turns ugly after explosive social media comment

Machine Gun Kelly and Yungblud's feud reached new heights after MGK left harsh comments aimed directly at the Doncaster-born artist.

​The recent development came after Yungblud cancelled his tour last year and blamed the rising ticket prices of fellow artists' live shows.

​Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, called out Yungblud in the comment section of a post showing his interview blasting the live music industry climate.

​MGK accused the singer of hypocrisy in a sharp public response on Instagram, which reads, “You cancelled a tour because you couldn’t sell tickets blamed it on mental health."

​He continued, "Then got paparazzi’d at Nobu the next day Pinocchio."

​Kelly then slammed Yungblud for selling the tickets of his shows at the same price as other artists', “And your actual tour tickets are still the same price as every other artist. Shut the f*** up your silver spooned preachy w****.”

​For those unversed, Yungblud cancelled dates on his 2025 North American tour last year. He reasoned at the time of his declining mental health and exhaustion.

​The cancellation later sparked a widespread debate on touring economics, artist burnout, and also cancellation linked to weak ticket sales.

​It is pertinent to mention that MGK and Yungblud used to be close friends and touring together multiple times in the late 2010s and early 2020s, but they had a fallout in 2024 after he agreed on The Osbournes podcast that MGK allegedly stole Yungblud's style, leaving the Emo Girl artist disappointed.
