Machine Gun Kelly is sharing a side that many are yet to see of him with his new song "Don't Let Me Go," and while it is pretty heavy, it also explains why he got a blackout tattoo.
Unlike his usual releases, MGK decided to drop an emotional ballad, which touched on several sensitive and intimate topics such as his fiancee, Megan Fox's miscarriage, his mental health, substance abuse, and his relationship with his late father, reports say.
Months after the "Jennifer's Body" star opened up about losing her baby, the rapper slash songwriter came forward with his point of view of the tragedy.
"How can I live with the fact/ That my hand wasn't on her stomach when we lost the baby?" MGK raps.
"I don't got no one to turn to/ Because everyone's dead in my life that was tryna raise me."
Just like MGK, the actress also expressed her sadness and grief by writing poetry; she released "Pretty Boys Are Poisonous."
In November 2023, Fox said this about the miscarriage: "I'd never been through anything like that in my life. I have three kids, so it was very difficult for both of us, and it sent us on a very wild journey together and separately ... trying to navigate What does this mean? and Why did this happen?"
