Machine Gun Kelly, known as MGK, confirmed a diss aimed at Yungblud in his song ‘FIX UR FACE’ during an appearance on The Garza Podcast. The specific line in question references “Mickey Mouse kids turned rockstars / Leaving private schools, tryna be outlaws.” This revelation sheds light on the complexities of loyalty within friendships in the music industry.
MGK expressed that loyalty is paramount to him and felt hurt when Yungblud did not defend him during a previous episode of The Osbournes podcast. He stated, “Loyalty is really the only thing that matters. When I open my heart that means I’m vulnerable and I let you in. And so when someone’s given an opportunity to defend their friend and they don’t, then that breaks my heart.”
The fallout between MGK and Yungblud reportedly began after this podcast episode aired in 2024. Their friendship had previously seemed strong, as they collaborated on tracks like ‘I Think I’m Okay’ and ‘Acting Like That’. However, MGK’s feelings shifted dramatically following the perceived betrayal.
Yungblud attended Ackworth School, a private institution, and appeared on Disney’s program The Lodge. MGK’s lyrics appear to reflect a deeper critique of artists who transition from mainstream backgrounds to rock stardom without acknowledging their roots.
Despite expressing his hurt, MGK noted he forgives Yungblud. He said, “That shit hurt me but that is that,” indicating a willingness to move past their differences. He added, “Be my friend in public the same way that you are in private,” emphasizing his expectations for authentic loyalty.
As of midday today, observers are keenly watching how this public feud may impact future collaborations between these two artists. Both have significant followings and their interactions could influence their respective careers moving forward.
The song ‘FIX UR FACE’ runs three minutes long and contains various themes beyond just this diss track. MGK described the line about Yungblud as an “angry line in an angry song,” reflecting the emotional state behind his words.
