Childhood
April 22, 1990, saw the birth of Richard Colson Baker in Houston, Texas. As a child, he travelled extensively with his family because both of his parents were missionaries. The family moved worldwide as a child, residing in Germany, Egypt, and many other countries. Furthermore, Baker resided in numerous US states. His mother eventually left the family, and he eventually settled down in Denver with his father.
After experiencing bullying as a teenager, Baker began using words to fight back. He eventually developed a deep affinity for rap and began producing his own music. Baker began doing drug experiments and living in a neighbor’s basement when his father abandoned him to work for the Army in Kuwait. At this time, he recorded his debut mixtape, Stamp of Approval. After a while, Baker stopped attending school, which is why his father decided to move him to Kuwait.
Career
After returning to the US, Baker persuaded an MC management to assist him in starting his career while completing his high school education. At this point, Baker decided to call himself “Machine Gun Kelly” on stage in allusion to his rapid-fire vocal delivery. After beginning to play at small venues, MGK appeared at the Apollo Theater in Harlem. He also had an appearance on Sucker Free Freestyle on MTV2. After that, he dropped 100 Words and Running his second mixtape. Even though MGK was becoming more well-known then, his financial situation remained difficult. After his father forcibly removed him from the family home, he became a father and relied on his job at Chipotle for financial support.
MGK significantly advanced by publishing the single “Alice in Wonderland.” Before releasing his most recent mixtape, Lace Up, the song brought him more recognition and won him multiple honours. During home games, a track was played in the Cleveland Cavaliers stadium that was devoted to the team. After their prosperous run, MGK and Juicy J worked together on the track “Inhale.” Sean Combs contacted MGK in 2011 and signed him to the Bad Boy Records record company.
MGK was finally prepared to release Lace Up, his debut studio album, in 2012. The album included hits like “Invincible” and “Wild Boy,” and performances by Twista, DMX, and Tech N9ne. That year, he worked on a mixtape named Black Flag alongside several musicians, including Pusha T and Meek Mill. 2015 saw the long-awaited release of MGK’s second studio album, General Admission.
2016 saw MGK and Camila Cabello collaborate to produce the popular song “Bad Things.” The rivalry between MGK and Eminem peaked in 2018. A few years earlier, MGK had tweeted that Eminem’s 16-year-old daughter was “hot”. It took Eminem over a year to notice the tweet, which made him write a diss single criticizing MGK. Eminem eventually forbade MGK from appearing on his internet radio program as their rivalry escalated. “Rap Devil,” MGK’s 2018 Eminem diss song, is one of their most well-known releases.
MGK’s fourth studio album, Hotel Diablo, was released in 2019. The album, which debuted at number five on the charts, featured the singles “I Think I’m Okay” and “Glass House”. In the same year, he disclosed that Tickets to My Downfall, his upcoming album, would be a joint effort with Travis Barker and would be out in 2020. MGK’s studio album Mainstream Sellout was released in 2022.

Logan Paul’s previous Encino, California property was purchased by Machine Gun Kelly for $7.5 million in April of 2022. When Logan offered the house for sale, he hoped to get $8.5 million, but instead, he paid $6.55 million for it in October 2017.
