Machine Gun Kelly knows he’s OKAY. The Hotel Diablo artist recently opened up about his struggles with addiction —and the major milestone he recently reached in his sobriety journey. “I’m completely sober from everything,” he shared during the August 5 episode of the Dumb Blonde podcast.
“I don’t drink anymore. I haven’t drank since last August.” “I didn’t tell anybody outside of those closest to me, but I went to rehab right when we got off the European tour last year,” MGK explained.
“That was my first time I ever went to rehab, and man they just gave me so many ways to operate the body and show where this anger is coming from and methods to quell it. I ended up falling into an awareness of what my condition is, and have made peace with it, and it’s a constant tightrope walk.” And though the 34-year-old declined to speak on the unnamed condition, noting it “feels a little too brand new for me to confidently say,” he was honest about how some of the people in his life have supported him in his lifestyle changes, including partner Megan Fox and daughter Casie Colson Baker , 15, with ex Emma Cannon .
“Megan has for sure been extremely helpful in dealing with the kind of psychological withdrawals,” he noted. “I love that I’m clear when I look at the person I love, I’m really happy that I’m clear when my daughter and I are having our conversations and I’m coming from a place of being centered and holding space for what a child need.
