Machine Gun Kelly has once again ventured into the territory of the strange, this time suggesting that he might not be entirely human.
Speaking on Watch What Happens Live, the rapper-turned-rock artist, real name Colson Baker, told Andy Cohen that he is not even sure his age “exists” and that certain things about his life make him question where – or what – he came from.
When asked his age, MGK said he could not give a straight answer and admitted he does not know many facts about his own life. He explained that his skin heals unusually quickly and joked that he sometimes wonders who his father is. He even asked his mother if there had ever been a time she “went missing, off the earth” or encountered a tall, slender creature. According to MGK, she told him she once felt she had been abducted.
This is far from his first flirtation with alien talk. In 2020, he released the single Concert For Aliens alongside a video that saw him abducted by an extraterrestrial version of himself. That same year, he told The Late Late Show With James Corden about two UFO sightings. One involving a red orb over a lake in Thousand Oaks, California, and another over a mountain in Bora Bora that matched reports from Hawaii.
In the same interview with Cohen, MGK swerved questions about rumoured romance with Sydney Sweeney, following his split from Megan Fox, with whom he recently had a child. He named Frank Sinatra as the artist he most wishes he could have collaborated with.
Beyond alien theories, MGK has been gearing up for the release of his album Lost Americana, which features a cameo from Bob Dylan, a collaboration he says came from “pure desperation” and persistent knocking. He and Fox recently revealed their daughter’s name after weeks of fan speculation.
It would certainly seem that MGK’s mind is as much in the stars as it is in the studio.
