Machine Gun Kelly and YUNGBLUD‘s feud is getting nasty!
If you don’t know, the pair used to be close friends and collaborators (and both famously dated Halsey). They created several songs together in the past, including the 2019 track I Think I’m OKAY with Travis Barker. However, fans have suspected lately that the pair are no longer pals! The feud rumors started in April when MGK dropped a diss track with Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit called FIX UR FACE, which features a few references to YUNGBLUD. He raps at one point in the song:
“Mickey Mouse kids turned rockstars / Leaving private schools, tryna be outlaws.”

YUNGBLUD both attended private school and appeared on the Disney show The Lodge in 2016, so fans knew immediately MGK was taking aim at him! Listen to the full track (below):
Earlier this month, MGK then added fuel to the fire! He seemingly called out the rocker during a live performance while talking about artists who “switch up” after becoming famous! Damn! He went on to address all the fan speculation on the Garza podcast, saying:
“The song is three minutes of lines about different things. Loyalty is really the only thing that matters. When I open my heart, that means I’m vulnerable, and I let you in. When someone’s given an opportunity to defend their friend, and they don’t, that breaks my heart. It shatters me. Be my friend the same way in public that you are in private. But it’s an angry line in an angry song… but that s**t hurt me.”
MGK went on to give YUNGBLUD some credit, calling him “super talented.” However, that doesn’t matter to the musician at the end of the day! What Megan Fox‘s baby daddy values most is loyalty, and Dominic Harrison doesn’t have an ounce of it in his eyes:
“But what I care about outside of everything, like, when the music’s over, it’s like, what do you stand for and what do you stand on? That principle of loyalty, the way that it was done to me, I wouldn’t have done that. And I watched a lot of my other peers stand with me and next to me, and they never moved with envy. To me, that was just a moment of seeing something and being like, damn, that hurts.”
Yeesh… Watch MGK’s remarks about the diss track (below):
But how did YUNGBLUD “hurt” MGK? Well, people believe their beef stems from an interview he did with the Osbourne family! While on The Osbournes podcast in 2024, Kelly Osbourne accused MGK of ripping off the Zombie singer’s pink aesthetic during his Mainstream Sellout era! Whoa! She and Sharon Osbourne made it very clear they don’t “like” the Bloody Valentine artist! And YUNGBLUD did very little to shut all the trash talk down! He just said, “Fair,” before trying to steer the conversation into a different direction. The podcast episode currently on YouTube no longer has the clip of the Osbourne family bashing MGK, but you can still find it on Reddit. Listen HERE.
As you know, YUNGBLUD has remained very close with the Osbournes, especially after the death of his pal and mentor Ozzy Osbourne. So, fans think MGK is pissed at the Grammy winner for not only letting the two women bash him but also maintaining ties with them despite being his friend. Hence, the no loyalty comments!
You’re all caught up on the situation, so what is the latest? MGK apparently decided to escalate the feud and go after YUNGBLUD online this week! The new drama began when the fleabag singer posted a video to TikTok explaining how “live music has become inaccessible” and “unaffordable” for people, which is why he created a cheaper concert experience for fans called BLUDFEST.

MGK saw it and decided to jump into the comments section to put YUNGBLUD on blast! He wrote in a since-deleted comment:
“You cancelled a tour because you couldn’t sell tickets blamed it on mental health then got parazzi’d at Nobu the next day Pinocchio. And your actual tour tickets are still the same price as every other artist. Shut the f**k up your silver spooned preachy wanker.”
Oof! YUNGBLUD cancelled his 2025 North American tour last year amid concerns about his mental health and exhaustion. However, he is back on the road again this year — and he made sure MGK knew he was too busy to fully engage with him right now while out on a sold-out tour! A rep told TMZ on Tuesday:
“Dom has not commented directly as he is so busy focusing on his sold-out North American tour and finishing his next album. He genuinely hasn’t got time to engage in any of this but we wish MGK the very best.”
The shaaaadee!!!
At this time, MGK hasn’t clapped back! But it’s safe to say fans shouldn’t expect another collaboration between these two anytime soon! They obviously don’t like each other anymore! Reactions, Perezcious readers? Drop ’em in the comments (below)!
