Machine Gun Kelly recently opened up about the trauma his father endured during childhood, sharing shocking details about his dark past. The 34-year-old rapper, whose real name is Colson Baker, discussed these experiences during an episode of Bunnie Xo’s Dumb Blonde podcast.
MGK revealed that his father once stood trial for the murder of his own father at the age of 9. He said, “The story that was always told to me was that their dad dropped the gun, and his head essentially blew off. It all happened in the room with my dad when he was 9 years old. So, he and my grandmother were tried for the murder. They were both acquitted.”
During the podcast, MGK also shared how he used to get angry at his father, especially when his dad would “freak out” at any loud noise or sudden boom. MGK admitted that he would often tell his father “to be a man” and not “act like this,” which led to feelings of resentment. Reflecting on this, he recalled saying to his dad, “And then, you sit there, and you think about a kid who was on trial at 9 years old for the murder of his father… I had a very interesting talk with him on his deathbed about that moment.”
