Machine Gun Kelly Says Being ‘Hated for No Reason’ Doesn’t Bother Him Anymore

Machine Gun Kelly is embracing the hate — and rising above it.

In a recent interview, the rapper-turned-rocker opened up about the criticism he regularly receives online and how he’s learned to live with being misunderstood. MGK, whose real name is Colson Baker, admitted that while he’s often “hated for no reason,” he no longer lets it get under his skin.

“I’ve been hated for so long by people who don’t even know me,” he said. “At a certain point, you stop caring and start focusing on the people who actually see you for who you are.”

The 34-year-old artist, known for his bold style and genre-blending music, has long divided fans and critics alike — especially since his shift from rap to pop-punk. But despite the backlash, MGK remains unapologetically himself.

“People fear what they don’t understand,” he added. “I know who I am, and the ones who matter do too.”

Fans were quick to support him on social media, praising his honesty and resilience. Many pointed out that while MGK may be polarizing, he’s always stayed true to his creative vision.

As he continues to evolve both musically and personally, MGK seems more confident than ever in tuning out the noise — and turning the hate into fuel.
