In France, his name often comes up in the news as the new fianc\u00e9 of American actress and model <strong>Megan Fox<\/strong>. The two stars are often mentioned for their rock\u2019n&#8217;roll antics. The duo is reminiscent of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/numero.com\/en\/fashion\/the-best-of-angelina-jolies-nineties-looks\/\">Angelina Jolie<\/a><\/strong> and <strong>Billy Bob Thornton<\/strong> in the 2000s, or of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.numero.com\/en\/series\/pam-and-tommy-disney-pamela-anderson-tommy-lee-sextape\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Pamela Anderson<\/strong><\/a>&#8216;s and <strong>Tommy Lee<\/strong>&#8216;s wild romance. They once walked the red carpet chained by their pinky nails, or drank each other&#8217;s blood to celebrate their engagement. But <strong>Colson Baker<\/strong>, aka <strong>MGK<\/strong>, is no newcomer to the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Cleveland, Ohio-based singer and multi-instrumentalist \u2014 drums, guitar, synths \u2014 is known for his rapid lyrical flow. His energetic mixtapes and proficient LPs switch from rap to rock music in a heart beat. Influenced by <strong>Ludacris<\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/numero.com\/en\/lifestyle-en\/eminem-opens-a-fast-food-restaurant-in-detroit\/\">Eminem<\/a><\/strong> and <strong>DMX<\/strong>, <strong>MGK<\/strong> began rapping at 14. The artist then headed to New York&#8217;s Apollo Theater to showcase his vocal talent and release his anger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He became the first white rapper to win a battle in the legendary venue before wowing with other freestyles, notably on MTV. Endorsed by <strong>P. Diddy<\/strong>, he has collaborated with <strong>Wiz Khalifa<\/strong>, <strong>Cassie<\/strong>, <strong>Yungblud<\/strong>,<strong> Trippie Red<\/strong>, and even his idol, the late <strong>DMX<\/strong>. In 2018, he created a buzz by writing a diss track in response to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/numero.com\/en\/culture-en\/movies\/from-celine-dion-to-eminem-the-5-best-true-fake-music-biopics\/\">Eminem<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s insults.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<div style=\"flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">Voir cette publication sur Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CTvitkSFdir\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Une publication partag\u00e9e par the Blonde Don (@machinegunkelly)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Machine Gun Kelly is also known for his acting skills. The performer starred in 15 films, including <em>Bird Box <\/em>(2018) and <em>The Dirt<\/em> (2019), in which he plays drummer<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.numero.com\/en\/series\/pam-and-tommy-disney-pamela-anderson-tommy-lee-sextape\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tommy Lee<\/a>.<\/strong> Yet, his fame mainly comes from the stage character he created for himself. The father of a teenage daughter he had at an early age used to be addicted to heroin, something he showcased in his music. He ended up homeless in 2010 and attempted suicide, before going to therapy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Painting his tongue black, or wearing a leather jacket isn\u2019t simply putting on an act for <strong>MGK<\/strong>. His pop-punk aesthetic reflects a non-linear journey &#8211; he worked for a Chipotle shop while making his rap debut &#8211; and a free-spirited, rebellious personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Smoking cannabis during interviews, dating a porn actress (<strong>Rachel Starr<\/strong>)\u2026 <strong>Machine Gun Kelly<\/strong> seems free of any limits and exudes a true bad boy aura. One that grows more appealing by the minute.

The artist combines tattoos, nail polish and tattered rock outfits, reminiscent of the 2000s emo style.

His rise is a perfect example of the growing popularity of this trendy imagery. The fashion and beauty industries are now snapping up the lanky, bleached young man. In December 2021, he caused quite a stir with the launch of his brand, <strong>UN\/DN LQR<\/strong>, which offers fashionable genderless nail polish. He then rocked the<strong> Dolce &amp; Gabbana runway show<\/strong> in Milan in January 2022 as a model and singer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Machine Gun Kelly<\/strong> has only one principle \u2014 to worship the God of love with his creations and ultra-designed packaging. &#8220;<em>Many of the men in mythology were warriors, soldiers or gods who had used their strength, and then there was Cupid, who was poetic and beautiful<\/em>,&#8221; the musician told <em><strong>Allure magazine<\/strong><\/em>. Despite his belligerent alias and dark looks, the artist and art collector, who recently ordered a $20,000 book signed by <strong>Picasso<\/strong> from a Greek bookstore, only aspires to love and the sublime. A philosophy that suits our disrupted world and inspires the young generations thanks to a more vibrant, much less toxic masculinity than in the past.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Machine Gun Kelly is one of those artists who are first and foremost a phenomenon [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary understrap-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/numero.com\/en\/culture-en\/music\/machine-gun-kelly-focus-rap-rock-musician\/\">Read More&#8230;<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> from Who is Machine Gun Kelly, the performer blending rap and rock?<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":504191,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[87,3177],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-504199","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture-en","category-music"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Who is Machine Gun Kelly, the performer blending rap and rock?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Drummer Machine Gun Kelly is one of those phenomenal artists.
