Machine Gun Kelly, also known as Colson Baker, recently revealed his journey towards sobriety on Bunnie Xo's 'Dumb Blonde' podcast. The 34-year-old musician shared that he has been completely sober from all substances since last August, following his first stint in rehab after his tour. During the podcast, MGK discussed his previous struggles with alcohol, marijuana, and prescription pills including hydrocodone, Percocet, and Vyvanse.
In the episode, he expressed his gratitude towards his partner, Megan Fox, for her significant role in his recovery. He highlighted how Fox supported him through the psychological challenges of withdrawing from drugs. MGK also reflected on his personal growth, noting his tendency towards self-criticism and his reliance on his art to express his identity.
Additionally, MGK and Bunnie talked about his recent musical collaboration with Bunnie's husband, Jelly Roll. The song, "Lonely Road," featured both Fox and Bunnie in the music video, leading to a humorous anecdote about a drinking contest proposal from Bunnie, which MGK had to decline due to his sobriety.
MGK humorously recounted a moment during the video shoot when he was tempted to challenge Jelly Roll to a drinking contest, but he ultimately felt vindicated the next day when he saw Jelly Roll's condition compared to his own sobriety.
