Machine Gun Kelly on Sean Strickland – “he’s like insanely racist and homophobic and just not my type of guy”
Musician Machine Gun Kelly appeared on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast where he discussed his viral run-in with former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland.
“I don’t know this guy from a crumb of bread, right?” Kelly said. “I didn’t know who he was when I met him. I got hip afterwards 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 is also 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.”
Back in February, while at attending one of Dana White’s Power Slap events at Durango Casino and Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada, the two men were introdcued to one another by a mutual friend.
The interaction did not go well as Strickland insulted MGK to his face and then bashed him on social media.
“I met a goth south park character last night, I think he worked at hot topic..,” Strickland said of the appearance of Machine Gun Kelly whose real name is Colson Baker. “I learned a lot last night… yall what happened to @meganfox since transformers?!?! Megan are you ok?! YALL!! These ain’t right…..”
In a post on X, Strickland wrote: “I almost hit a vampire tonight… lol! They said his name is machine gun kelly.. How do you have a dope ass name and dress like a 13 goth south park character?!?”
