Last month, a particular group of fans took it upon themselves to chuck objects toward the stage during concerts. Bebe Rexha was hit in the face by a phone, while Nicolas Malvagna is subsequently facing several assault and harassment charges. Ava Max, Kelsea Ballerini, and Lil Nas X have also been targets.
However, all that happened to Machine Gun Kelly was that he was politely asked for a favor.
The musician posted an Instagram video which shows him fulfilling a fan’s wish to be punched in the face during his Rock Werchter Festival set in Belgium on Saturday, July 1. In the video, he spots a fan-held sign in the crowd and asks, “Why do you want me to punch you in the face so bad?” Off camera, a fan yells, “I love you!”
“I got rings on, dude. That sh*t’s gonna hurt,” Machine Gun Kelly responds. He contemplates out loud whether he should do it — “it’s a lose-lose for me” — before the video jumps to him in the crowd while singing “My Ex’s Best Friend” and holding the sign claiming that the fan “just came from Mexico 4 U 2 punch me in the face.” Then, MGK half-heartedly punches him in the face, walks away, and yells back to the fan, “I love you!”
