At the 2025 American Music Awards, Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) made a memorable entrance but surprised fans by leaving the event early. The rapper and singer, known for hits like “Cliché,” revealed on the red carpet that he had to head home to care for his and Megan Fox’s 2-month-old daughter, who was running a slight fever.
“I’m just gonna walk the carpet and then go back,” MGK told E! News, adding with his signature humor, “Give her my pheromones, and let her heal up.” Despite the brief scare, he assured fans their baby girl is otherwise “great.”
MGK’s heartfelt comments about fatherhood struck a chord. “I was born to be a dad. Yeah, it’s my purpose,” he said, highlighting the new chapter in his personal life alongside Megan Fox. The couple welcomed their daughter in March, marking a major milestone in their relationship that has captivated fans since they first went public.
Dressed stylishly in black trousers and a vest layered over a crisp white shirt, paired with Converse sneakers and a pearl necklace, MGK still managed to make an impact before his early exit. He was slated to present at the ceremony, but family came first.
On the professional front, MGK continues to ride a creative wave, recently releasing his latest single “Cliché” in May. Describing the track as “a bop,” he expressed gratitude for the growing acceptance of his evolving artistry.
“I want to curate something like an experience — like a gallery where people keep coming back to see what I’m displaying,” he explained, drawing a comparison between his music and visual art.
And for those wondering about his performance style, MGK teased a playful side, joking about channeling “a little John Travolta” before eventually aiming for Michael Jackson-level moves.
As MGK balances fatherhood, romance, and his music career, fans eagerly await more from the multi-talented artist. Meanwhile, Megan Fox continues to share in the spotlight as their family grows.
