Machine Gun Kelly recently opened up about his childhood, especially discussing his father, who was on trial for killing his own father when he was just 9 years old. He explained how this event significantly impacted his youth.
The 34-year-old rapper appeared on the Bunnie XO podcast «Dumb Blonde», - which aired on August 5. During the podcast, he shared that his father «was so tormented». The singer of «Bloody Valentine» shared that his father «needed love» and struggled with «depression».
Colson Baker, his real name, continued to describe the trauma his father experienced, saying: «All of this happened in a room with my father when I was 9 years old. He and my grandmother were on trial for murder, but both were acquitted».
He added: «The story that was always told to me was that my father dropped the gun, and his head essentially exploded».
MGK grew up with his father, whom he called Christian Bale in «American Psycho», - after his mother left when he was nine years old. His close relationship with his father led him to adopt many of his traits in his youth. He noted during the episode: «My father’s childhood definitely bled into mine».
This insight into the Baker family background came four years after his father’s death in 2020. At that time, Colson was preparing to mark the anniversary of the release of his album «Hotel Diablo». He wrote on Instagram: «This album was everything I wanted to say, and I know it’s close to my fans… but my father took his last breath this morning, and I have never felt such deep pain in my life».
He continued: «I'm putting my phone down… love you. Thank you for everything».
The singer also mentioned that the men in his family seemed to be cursed, doomed to die alone, but he planned to change that, as he was born on the 22nd, which he believed was fate to break the curses.
The artist of «Lonely Road» was able to express his emotions and tell his stories through his music
