by

Machine Gun Kelly chose not to attend the American Music Awards 2025 in order to tend to a personal matter. Specifically, the artist, known as Colson Baker, decided to depart from the event after making an appearance on the red carpet, to care for his newborn child together with his fiancée Megan Fox.

After leaving the event, Kelly shared with E! News on the red carpet that his two-month-old daughter developed a mild fever. He prioritized his responsibilities as a parent over his scheduled appearance instead.

Instead, Machine Gun Kelly made a brief appearance on the red carpet and then returned home to be with his daughter during her healing process, choosing not to stay for the entire performance.

MGK stated, “She’s running a slight fever, so I plan to stroll the red carpet and then return, if you understand what I’m saying, to attend to my matters. I’ll release my natural scent around her, hoping it will aid in her recovery.

The Cliché singer was planned to perform at the awards ceremony in an elegant ensemble featuring black pants, a white button-down shirt under a black vest, Converse shoes, and a pearl necklace. However, his early exit from the event took everyone by surprise yet underscored his commitment to family life.

Despite a small health concern, the artist shared that his daughter is generally wonderful and he considers fatherhood as his primary life goal. Machine Gun Kelly also has a 15-year-old daughter named Casie from a previous relationship with Emma Cannon. “I was destined to be a dad,” he said, emphasizing, “It’s my calling.

MGK’s adventures into new genres of music and artistry

Beyond being a father, Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) has persisted in the music industry. His latest release, titled “Cliché”, debuted on May 23 and represents another shift in his musical style. He expressed his appreciation for the growing recognition of his artistic intentions by fans, but admitted that it takes time for them to fully grasp his vision.

He shared with the media outlet that his artwork leaves people puzzled at first, but as they take a step back and consider it, they eventually understand and appreciate it deeply. In simpler terms, he said, “My art initially confuses people, but in time, they come to see its value.

Although some fans may have felt let down that Machine Gun Kelly didn’t perform at the AMAs 2025, Benson Boone, Jennifer Lopez, Gloria Estefan, Lainey Wilson, Reneé Rapp, and others delivered electrifying performances instead.
