“This is a big deal, bro; I’m so glad you reconnected,” one fan commented in response to a hilarious photo of MGK and his mom shared by pop-punk on Instagram.
Machine Gun Kelly reconnects with his mom.
The Machine Gun Kelly posed together for the sweet photo shared on Instagram at MGK on Thursday. With a punk rocker holding up two middle fingers and his mother – whose name is unknown – signaling peace to the camera.
This is the first photo the mother and daughter shared publicly since they reunited last year. Long after becoming estranged during their childhood. Introducing “my mom,” the image was signed by the 32-year-old musician, who received supportive comments from many. By MGK fans.
“This is a big deal, bro; I’m glad you reconnected,” said one Instagram user.
“After so many years! So happy for you,” wrote another fan. Born and raised in Houston, Texas, MGK (real name Colson Baker) previously revealed his mother’s absence during his childhood on Lil’s Skies collaboration titled ‘Burning Memories’ from his album Hotel Diablo and said he left his family when he was nine years old.
According to The New York Times, the musician later moved to Denver. Colorado, with his father, who died in July 2020 of an undisclosed illness unrelated to COVID-19.
“Yeah, it was for a mother I never knew/drank acid just to burn all my memories of you. MGK sings in the 2016 song. “I guess now I want to know the truth / How she left her only child at 9 for another man?”
“It’s a wild story, but after all these years, it’s the fans who are responsible for my mom, and I’m finally reconnecting. I love you,” he tweeted at the time.
