Remember the time Machine Gun Kelly and Sean Strickland had an altercation at a PowerSlap event? Yeah, that somehow wasn’t a fever dream.
The former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Middleweight champion, Strickland, doesn’t get along well with others and he lets the world know it. Appearing at a Las Vegas PowerSlap show in February 2024, Strickland confronted celebrity special guest, MGK, calling him a “weirdo” and a “vampire” as the musician stood his ground until separation.
Upon reflection of the incident, MGK believes all that did was reveal “Tarzan’s” insecurities.
“I do nothing but commit myself to art and there’s another funny factor of just like, the art of me standing or existing makes people furious,” MGK said on IMPAULSIVE.
“I don’t know this guy from a crumb of bread, right? I didn’t know who he was when I met him. I got hip afterward that he’s like, insanely racist and homophobic and just not my type of guy. So I would have never even wanted to shake hands with him in the first place. But he also is just a representative of every person who’s too scared to just be themselves because if you’re comfortable as yourself, you don’t care who anybody else is and how they are.”
Strickland (29-6) has fought and won once since the MGK encounter. At UFC 302, Strickland returned to the win column after he lost his title, defeating Paulo Costa via a split decision in the co-main event this past June. Now, Strickland can look forward to a title fight rematch with the champion, Dricus Du Plessis.
Until that opportunity comes officially, MGK advises Strickland to quiet down.
“He’s so dumb that I’m going to tell him right now, you should not keep saying stuff because it just makes me look better,” MGK said. “But you’re going to keep saying stuff. So I know that you’ll react and say more things, but you just shouldn’t. As a person who’s just giving you big bro advice, learn this: Shut the fck up and don’t. Don’t speak on me anymore and live your life. But you won’t and I’m going to continue laughing at you because you’re a fcking idiot.”
Mgk talking about someone being scared to be themselves is hilarious. He’s been shamed out of two genres of music and is now trying to go country. Sean is unapologetically himself.
And just fucking lol at him trying to sound tough to a literal middleweight champion. What a dork. I haven’t been able to stand MGK for a long fuckin time and I lose a little respect for anyone who has anytning good to say anout him.
Ironic since mgk is about as fake as you get
I didn’t know who he was when I met him. I got hip afterward that he’s like, insanely racist and homophobic and just not my type of guy. So I would have never even wanted to shake hands with him in the first place.
What a homo.
I only know of mgk because the tebloid news is always talking about him, but I have no idea what he’s ever done “artistically”. Whatever it is, it apparently wasn’t widely notable, and he sounds like a moron when he speaks. He said nothing about Strickland, other than you just don’t like me because you’re insecure and to shut up. Not a lot going on upstairs.
So, basically, Machine Gun Kelly is a guy who pretends to be tough for a living.
Then a real tough guy confronts him.
And Machine Gun Kelly runs away and says he doesn’t respect the other guy(Strickland) because the other guy(Strickland) doesn’t support gay sex.
Is this a fair summary?
Everything is probably cool now.
It appears that Strickland offered an apology for his behavior.
lol.
ChatGPT, create two try too hard goofball new school “artists”. One fat version, one skinny version. Use extreme trailer trash style for both.
I remember Shawn yelling at him while he stood there looking confused.
Was at the Wynn Casino in the shopping area. Machine Gun Kelly was doing his rounds in the same stores as us. Watched him be a douche bag to several fans of his. Didn’t have any interaction with him, but made me not want to know anything about him.
Next time I heard anything about him he was punking Conner on the red carpet.
Strickland should probably take notes
MGK is the only man to ever beat Eminem in a rap beef.
IIRC: Eminem started out battling Christina Aguillar, Brittany Spears then moved up to JaRule.
Just say no to Butt Rap
damn he looks like a Colson
