looking at interesting facts and trivia
about Cleveland rapper Machine Gun Kelly
also known as MGK number five he’s been
in a couple of bands one with a rather
silly name Machine Gun Kelly ‘s musical
influences extend well beyond the realm
of rap and that’s something that shows
both in his music and fashion sense
among his self-proclaimed two biggest
influences are rappers like Eminem and
DMX but also rock artists such as Guns &
Roses and blink 182 he even has an EP
named after seminal 80s hardcore punk
band Black Flag given his eclectic
tastes it’s not that surprising to learn
that mg K’s youth saw him involved in a
few musical projects his first band was
the hilariously named dumb bunny trio
his focus might be wrapped these days
but he still works with a backing band
sometimes referred to as the Machine Gun
Kelly band or est 19 xx
number four both his parents were
missionaries when you look at MGK or
hear his music religious upbringing
isn’t exactly the first thing to come to
mind but religion largely shaped the
first few years of his life he was born
in Houston but then proceeded to travel
the globe with his Christian missionary
parents which took him as far as Germany
and Egypt according to Kelly himself he
actually learned to speak Arabic before
English it wasn’t an easy upbringing
however Kelly’s parents split when he
was young his father suffered from
mental illness and Kelly grew up in
poverty when they returned to the states
for which he was bullied he would
eventually reconnect with his mother
later in life before us I mean I’ve seen
her maybe twice since then it’s just
like it’s it’s crazy it’s a lot
emotionally for me because she looks so
much like me too number three he’s
hosted WWE events MGK is and always has
been an unconventional rapper from his
fashion sense and tendency to blur the
line between genres to his unabashedly
from boutique coffee shops summary craft
beers and especially almond poppy seed
muffins he’s never been afraid to go
against the grain one of his more
particular interests is wrestling
something that since becoming a
celebrity he’s been able to get actively
involved with he’s actually mixed things
up with WWE on a few occasions he’s
promoted WrestleMania 28 with John Cena
performed on Raw where he actually
briefly fought Kevin Owens and
contributed to the 2017 Tribute to the
Troops event
number two he made history at the Apollo
Theater over the years
MGK has undeniably embraced the pop side
of rap with numerous collaborations but
he’s more than earned his place in the
world of hip-hop in 2009 back when he
was still a starving artist apparently
on the verge of getting evicted he
proved himself at Harlem’s legendary
Apollo Theater where he one repeat
victories at their Amateur Night
competition according to Rolling Stone
magazine he was the first white rapper
to ever do so it was a turning point in
Kelly’s career increasing his visibility
and forcing labels to start paying
attention to this upstart from Cleveland
number one his stage name is inspired by
an American bootlegger and gangster see
the name Machine Gun Kelly to your
grandparents and they might recognize it
but we doubt that it’s Richard Colson
Baker that they’ll be thinking of the
original Machine Gun Kelly George Kelly
Barnes was a notorious criminal from
Memphis Tennessee most famous for
kidnapping an oil tycoon in 1993 for a
venn sizeable ransom of $200,000 as his
name suggests a Thompson submachine gun
was his weapon of choice on the bed a
speaker for his part earned the nickname
for his early trademark quick delivery
of lyrics which fans compared to the
rapid fire of a machine gun do you agree
