Just hours after a shocking video surfaced showing Machine Gun Kelly recklessly speeding through a red light and narrowly avoiding a crash in Los Angeles, the 35-year-old rocker broke his silence, though not about the incident itself.

Instead, Machine Gun Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, took to Instagram to celebrate a major career milestone.

“Biggest debut yet, it’s a celebrationnnnn[party popper emoji] CLICHÉ [chart increasing emoji]” he captioned a carousel of photos, referencing the success of his new single “Cliché,” which is quickly climbing the charts.

In the post, the “Bloody Valentine” artist shared a series of candid snaps, offering a glimpse into his life off the stage.

One image showed him lounging on a cozy couch, cradling his newborn daughter in a blanket, a tender moment that contrasts sharply with the high-octane footage released earlier in the day. Dressed in a white button-down shirt layered under a black vest and loosely knotted tie, MGK flashed a subtle smile, his signature layered necklaces and piercings completing the look.

He also included an animated rendering of himself in cartoon form, rocking a “CLICHÉ” tee, a nod to the new track’s branding, and another selfie taken in the car with the caption, “I’m scared of bluetooth radiation.” In the photo, MGK looked solemn, sporting a red sweatshirt and wired headphones, perhaps as a tongue-in-cheek reference to his reluctance toward wireless tech.

While fans flooded the comment section with praise for his new music and adorable baby content, many couldn’t help but notice what was left unsaid.

The celebratory post comes in the wake of disturbing footage showing MGK blowing through a red light on his motorcycle in the San Fernando Valley. Caught on camera, the clip shows him swerving around a stopped vehicle at an intersection before making a dangerous left turn directly into oncoming traffic, narrowly avoiding a collision.

Though the moment was harrowing, the musician has yet to publicly acknowledge the incident.

Meanwhile, those close to his ex-fiancée Megan Fox say she’s losing patience. According to insiders, the actress is “done trying to change him.”

“Colson can say anything he wants, but he isn’t going to change the person he is and has become,” a source told the Daily Mail, adding that she “fell in love with an immature person” and she sees him as “a body of habits that won’t change into a person who she can be in love with again.”

While the former couple no longer envisions a romantic or even platonic future together, Fox remains committed to co-parenting for the sake of their daughter. But as for the possibility of a friendship? Sources say it’s off the table. “Megan doesn’t see a time where she will be friends with Colson,” the insider shared. “But she does see herself dealing with him for the benefit of their child.”

Despite the track soaring up the Spotify charts and recently being named Favorite New Music by fans, not everyone is thrilled with the rapper-turned-rocker’s latest sonic pivot, but MGK is making it clear he doesn’t care.

Taking to social media, the genre-blending artist clapped back at the online hate in a bold, unapologetic fashion. In a video posted to his feed, he scrolled through several posts criticizing the track, even calling out trolls by username.

“Angry insecure dudes are so CLICHÉ,” he captioned the clip, a defiant nod to the song’s title and its deeper message about self-expression and judgment.

One critic he spotlighted was @Gingerbeargage, who slammed the music video, writing, “What is this garbage?” and added a homophobic jab. MGK responded bluntly, “It’s a pop song, man.”

He then pulled up a mocking image of what he imagined the user looked like, a balding man angrily pointing at a camera, letting the moment speak for itself.

The release of “Cliché” marks MGK’s first major musical drop since his return to pop-punk, and it’s already proving to be a fan favorite. But while the artist continues to ride the wave of chart success, it remains to be seen whether he’ll address the risky behavior caught on tape.
