Machine Gun Kelly Responds After Going Viral For Awkward Formula 1 Interview

Machine Gun Kelly aka Colson Baker in Good Mourning.

Machine Gun Kelly is without a doubt one of the most eccentric personalities in the entire entertainment industry. So it’s no surprise that he’s made headlines on a number of occasions. And in many cases, the singer’s actions cause him to go viral. Well, it happened again when he partook in a Formula 1 interview with Sky Sports commentator Martin Brundle this past weekend. The clip has been described as awkward by a number of users since it hit the web, and Kelly has now issued a response to those who’ve been critiquing the footage. 

The interview in question took place on Sunday at the Brazilian Grand Prix, which was held in São Paulo. Based on the video (which was shared by @cjzero on X), the chat got off to a bumpy start when the singer -- whose real name is Colson Baker -- apparently couldn’t understand what the former race car driver was saying. Brundle eventually asked MGK about what’s been going on in his career, leading the songwriter to say, “I don’t think about my career.” After exchanging a few more brief questions, the topic of music came up, and Baker eventually asked Brundle to give his best “air piano” rendition while he did “air guitar.” Brundle relented, leading the musician to give a thumbs down to the camera before walking off.
