Fans are voicing serious concern for Machine Gun Kelly, also known as MGK after the 35-year-old rapper casually revealed his bare-bones diet in a recent interview. While hanging out with a small group of friends on a livestream, he dropped the kind of bombshell that stops you mid-scroll.
The singer’s bizarre eating habits are more than a little scary. He admitted that most days he barely eats at all. “I don’t really eat. I just do water a bunch,” he shared, casually brushing off the idea of regular meals. When asked if that meant he was fasting, MGK simply nodded.
The group’s reaction was swift, filled with shock, disbelief, and concern. But the Machine Gun Kelly didn’t waver, explaining that the burger he was eating was just for the stream. Otherwise, he probably wouldn’t have eaten at all, Page Six writes.
“Like, I ate that burger ’cause we’re streaming, and it’s my man’s s–t, you know?” he replied, prompting one of the guys to ask, “OK, if we weren’t streaming, what would you have had for dinner?”
When pressed on what a typical dinner would look like off-camera, MGK’s answer raised more eyebrows:. “Probably water.” He admitted he only eats a couple of times a week, and even then, it’s nothing close to a balanced meal. His go-to dish? Bone broth with kimchi and sauerkraut and fermented foods are known for probiotics but extremely low in essential nutrients.
Machine Gun Kelly went on to explain his reasoning. He claims that water fasts can kill off good gut bacteria, so he adds probiotics back in. Sure, gut health matters, but fans were quick to point out that this barely qualifies as a diet. Especially when it’s supplemented with nothing more than MGK’s other two favorite coffee and cigarettes. Although he also admitted to occasionally sipping on celery juice or coconut water.
Fans Fear MGK’s Health, Worried He Is Headed For Major Health Issues
The online reaction was instant and intense. “Bro is describing anorexia,” one person wrote bluntly. Others echoed the same sentiment, with many speculating that MGK is showing signs of a serious eating disorder. Comments ranged from confusion to alarm, especially as he seemed unfazed by the idea of feeling lightheaded or weak from not eating enough.
To make matters more concerning, this is all coming from someone who’s a father to two children and recently celebrated a year of sobriety. His fans were hoping he was on a healthier path—but now they’re worried his dietary choices might point to deeper issues.
“When you get older, this stuff will haunt you, especially cigarettes,” warns one fan.
“Who wants to be around somebody who doesn’t enjoy food?” asks one more.
“Not only an eating disorder, but all that tattoo ink in his body is not healthy,” informs another concerned fan.
While MGK’s unconventional food routine may not seem shocking in a celebrity world filled with extreme diets, fans are rightfully alarmed. Water, bone broth, cigarettes, and the occasional celery juice are hardly enough to sustain anyone. Let alone someone constantly in the spotlight. Whether it’s a new phase or a long-standing habit, this revelation has sparked a wave of concern that MGK might be silently struggling with more than he’s letting on.
