MGK Said He Had a Very Good Reason For Skipping 2025 American Music Awards After Walking Red Carpet

Machine Gun Kelly said he had a good reason for skipping the 2025 American Music Awards ceremony after walking the red carpet Monday night (May 26).

Before taking his leave, MGK spoke to Billboard on the AMAs red carpet about recording the new single in his living room after his studio burned down, switching things up with with “new pictures in his art gallery” and returning to the Warped Tour. To date, like many celebrity parents, Machine Gun (born Colson Baker) and Fox have kept details and photos of their daughter offline, though the proud dad did share a sneaky selfie last week in which fans could get a glimpse of the three-month-old in a baby carrier strapped to the rapper/singer’s chest reflected on a shiny car door. Fans chose it as their favorite new track of the week, with the tune running up 38% of the vote as it edged out new songs from Joe Jonas, Burna Boy, Travis Scott, Karol G and Alex Warren with Jelly Roll.
