Machine Gun Kelly Shows Love to Juicy J at Coachella, Reflects on Their Deep Connection

Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) and Juicy J share a deep history that goes back over a decade, and this past weekend at Coachella, the two hip-hop artists took a moment to reflect on their journey together. MGK, a surprise guest on Three 6 Mafia’s set during the festival’s first weekend, shared a special bond with Juicy J that fans might not fully realize.
A Long-Standing Relationship
While backstage at Coachella, MGK and Juicy J snapped a photo together, which quickly made its way to social media. The Cleveland rapper took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his thoughts on the significance of their connection, giving fans a glimpse into their long-standing friendship.
“Juice believed in me 2011 before the world did,” MGK wrote. “First rapper to pull up and get high with me. First major feature I had. The chorus of ‘Wild Boy’ is sampled from our song on his mixtape.”
This heartfelt message speaks volumes about how early Juicy J’s support was in MGK’s career. Before MGK became a household name, Juicy J was one of the first to believe in his talent and extend a helping hand. Their collaboration on “Wild Boy,” which later became a breakout hit for MGK, cemented their creative partnership and signaled to the world that MGK had the backing of an established artist like Juicy J.
A Personal Milestone for MGK
Coachella also marked MGK’s first public appearance since welcoming his daughter with actress Megan Fox. The couple, who announced their pregnancy last year, shared their joy with the world when they welcomed their little one on March 27. MGK posted a sweet clip of their baby girl’s tiny hand on Instagram, announcing her arrival with a heartfelt message.
“She’s finally here!! our little celestial seed,” MGK wrote, adding astrological symbols for her sun, moon, and rising signs—Aries, Pisces, and Gemini, respectively. The post was a celebratory moment for the couple, who had been anticipating the birth of their child.
On his Instagram Story, MGK revealed an intimate detail about the birth, saying that he and his team composed a custom score for the moment. “We composed the score of the birth. Born into 432 HZ. What an epic journey, praise God,” he shared, emphasizing the spiritual and artistic significance of the moment.
Reflections on Loss and Love
MGK and Megan Fox’s journey to parenthood was particularly poignant given their past experiences. Megan had previously shared the emotional struggles of miscarriage in a post announcing her pregnancy, referencing the heartache the couple had faced together. The post included a quote from MGK’s song “Last November,” which reflects the pain of their past loss.
The song, which appears on MGK’s 2022 album Mainstream Sellout, was deeply personal. In it, MGK sings about the feeling of loss and the hope of one day experiencing the joy of a child. “One day in another ten weeks / I never even got to hear your heartbeat,” he sings, referencing the grief they endured in the wake of their miscarriage. The song continues, exploring themes of love, loss, and healing, becoming a cornerstone of his emotional journey with Megan.
Family Life and Blended Families
MGK and Megan Fox’s growing family is not only special for them but also reflects the blend of their respective families. Megan has three children—Noah (12), Bodhi (11), and Journey (8)—with ex-husband Brian Austin Green, while MGK has a 15-year-old daughter, Casie, from a previous relationship. As they navigate their careers and family life, the couple’s connection to their children remains a key part of their lives.
Despite the public attention on their relationship, which has had its ups and downs, MGK and Megan Fox seem to have embraced their new role as parents together. From Coachella to Instagram, their recent posts reflect the joy of welcoming their daughter into the world, while also acknowledging the complex and emotional journey they’ve been on as a couple.
Machine Gun Kelly’s reunion with Juicy J at Coachella highlighted not only their professional relationship but also a deep personal bond that goes back to the early days of MGK’s career. With Juicy J’s early belief in him and the support they’ve continued to offer each other, the two artists shared a moment that captured the essence of their friendship.
Amid the celebration, MGK’s recent family milestone with Megan Fox adds another layer to his journey. As he continues to balance fatherhood, music, and life in the spotlight, it’s clear that MGK is grateful for the relationships that have shaped his career and personal life, from Juicy J to his growing family.
