Machine Gun Kelly posts bizarre video of leech 'friends' crawling on his stomach

Machine Gun Kelly has creeped his fans out after sharing his quirky medicinal routine with his fans on Instagram.

The singer added a video to his stories on the social media app as he underwent the bizarre treatment with his curious new buddies.

MGK - real name Colson Baker - uploaded the video of a collection of blood-sucking leeches crawling on his exposed stomach as he captioned the clip gushing over them writing: "My best friends."

The gory-looking procedure didn't get any explanation from the 32-year-old chart star who has previously admitted he 'drinks' fiancee Megan Fox's blood.

Leeches are a well-known remedy used for alternative therapies over the years and are thought to treat a whole array of issues

Conditions they can help include infections, nervous system abnormalities, bleeding, inflammation, urinary and reproductive system problems, dental complications and skin diseases.

MGK has previously talked about his own personal love of bloodsucking when he announced his engagement to Megan, 36, back in January, admitting they both guzzle each other's blood.

However, Megan later explained further that the bizarre habit isn't vampirism, but is done for “ritual purposes.”

She told the UK edition of Glamour in April: “So, I guess to ‘drink’ each other’s blood might mislead people or people are imagining us with goblets and we’re like ‘Game of Thrones,’ drinking each other’s blood.

“It’s just a few drops, but yes, we do consume each other’s blood on occasion for ritual purposes only.”

Megan elaborated as she explained her interest in astrology and rituals and “all these metaphysical practices and meditations.”

She said: “I do rituals on new moons and full moons, and all these things. And so, when I do it, it’s a passage or it is used for a reason. And it is controlled where it’s like, ‘Let’s shed a few drops of blood and each drink it.'”

The couple have also previously admitted to wearing vials containing one another blood around their necks as well as drinking it.

On Valentine's Day back in 2021 he shared on Instagram: "I wear your blood around my neck.”

Meanwhile, MGK recently described himself as a "broken boy" with Peter Pan syndrome who doesn't want to grow up.

The star is set to appear in new movie Taurus alongside Megan as a rising but self-destructive musician called Cole.

He described how he finds it easy to identify with "lost boy" Cole and said 36-year-old Megan is his Wendy.

He told Hollywood Reporter: "Illana understands that Cole was just a broken boy who has Peter Pan syndrome - which is me.

"You don't want to grow up. Do you know what I mean? You're a lost boy, but you have Wendy, and Wendy doesn't want to be with the lost boy, but she's like, 'Come back home and be a grownup with me.' And you watch Peter Pan have the choice."
