KEY POINTS
- Machine Gun Kelly was shoved by a man during his performance at the Louder Than Life Festival Saturday
- Kelly threw what appeared to be a punch before security pulled him away
- Another video showed the crowd chanting "you suck" and shouting "boo" while Kelly was performing
Machine Gun Kelly reportedly got into a brawl over the weekend, just weeks after his alleged encounter with Conor McGregor at the 2021 MTV VMAs.
Kelly was among the artists who performed at the Louder Than Life Festival in Louisville, Kentucky, Saturday. During his performance, a feud broke out between the "Bloody Valentine" singer, 31, and a concertgoer after an unidentified man in the crowd shoved Kelly as he was singing.
In a video of the incident, festival security got involved, but Kelly managed to throw what appeared to be a punch. It is unclear from the footage whether Kelly's fist made contact with the man.
Kelly managed to finish his performance after security pulled him away.
Reps for the artist did not respond to requests for comment, while Louder Than Life Festival had no comment, according to Page Six.
Another viral video showed the crowd chanting "you suck" and shouting "boos" while Kelly was on stage. Some of them also held up their middle fingers directly at the singer.
"Well, enjoy the rest of the concert," Kelly said, sounding defeated at one point.
Some fans suggested that the crowd reacted that way to the "Dirt" singer after he trashed Slipknot at another music festival earlier this month. Kelly called the band "old, weird dudes with masks." He also told the crowd that he was happy he wasn't "50 years old, wearing a f–kin’ weird mask on a f–kin’ stage."
Some social media users slammed Kelly in the comments section of the video uploaded to YouTube.
"First Eminem, then Slipknot. Can’t fix stupid. RIP MKG," one commented.
"MGK thinks he's above the rest. This was a long time coming. Eminem is having a good laugh lol," another added.
"Eminem ended his 'rap' career and now Metal fans are finishing him! This will teach him to be f–king humble," a third user wrote.
Despite the videos, Kelly took to Twitter to slam reports that he was booed off the stage.
"I don’t know why the media lies in their narrative against me all the time, but all I saw was 20,000 amazing fans at the festival singing every word and 20 angry ones," he tweeted.
Meanwhile, his brawl with the concertgoer was Kelly's second public feud this month. He also allegedly got into an altercation with mixed martial artist McGregor at the MTV VMAs. According to reports, McGregor asked MKG for a photo, but the artist declined and pushed the UFC star after rejecting his request.
However, a spokesperson for McGregor later denied asking Kelly for a photo in a statement to Us Weekly.
McGregor also told Entertainment Tonight that "absolutely nothing" happened, explaining, "I don’t know. He showed up, and I don’t know. I don’t know the guy. Nothing happened with me, I only fight real fighters, people that actually fight, you know what I mean? I certainly don’t fight little vanilla boy rappers. I don’t even know the guy. I don’t know anything about him, except that he’s with Megan Fox."
