Machine Gun Kelly is a friend of Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum Kourtney Kardashian and her partner Travis Barker, and he has a strange history with Kendall Jenner. MGK previously revealed his feelings for Kendall. Since going public with their relationship, Travis and Kourtney have enjoyed a number of double dates and outings with the rapper-turned-rock star, MGK. The musician is known for being edgy and outspoken. His past comments about Kendall definitely raise eyebrows.
Kourtney and Travis have been living by their own rules now that they're a couple. They were already close friends before dating, and now that they're an item, they appear completely inseparable. Travis makes music with Machine Gun Kelly, so the two rockers often spend time together, whether they're recording or performing. The Blink-182 drummer Travis served as an executive producer on MGK's rock debut and first #1 album, Tickets to My Downfall. Kourtney from KUWTK and Travis even made their red carpet debut at the VMAs, where the Poosh founder introduced Travis and MGK's performance with MGK's girlfriend, Megan Fox.
In the not-too-distant past, Machine Gun Kelly had no direct link with the Kar-Jenner family. This is probably why he didn't mind saying whatever he wanted about them. While his feelings weren't negative, they were certainly inappropriate at the time. Back in 2013, he admitted to having a crush on a then-17-year-old Kendall. Despite being 23 at the time, MGK didn't hold back while sharing his attraction to the reality star teen. “I’m not waiting ‘till she’s 18 I’ll go now," MGK said about KUWTK's Kendall, according to Fuse at YouTube. He continued: "I’m 23, I’m not like a creepy age. I’m 23, she’s 17 and she’s a celebrity — there is no limits right there.”
His comments got worse when he compared his desire for the younger star to that of rock stars from yesteryear. “Robert Plant, who was one of the greatest lead singers ever… dated a girl that was 14,” he said to defend himself. “Axel Rose, who was one of the biggest bada**es ever, dated a girl that was 16.” Yikes. Possibly, MGK looks back at this interview and cringes. However, at the time, he said that any adult man would get with fashion maven Kendall despite her being underage. "I don’t care. Say what you want, man,” he continued, adding: “If Kendall Jenner was in your bedroom naked, and you’re 50 — you’re going.”
At the time of his controversial statements, he wasn't working with Travis. Kourtney and Travis weren't dating. They weren't even close friends. MGK was actually just a rapper at the time. This shows how much life can change in 8 years. With MGK now being such good friends with Travis and Kourtney, he may have apologized for his comments about Kendall during one of the infamous double dates. It's also possible that Kourtney and Kendall are completely unaware that MGK talked about Kendall. The Keeping Up With the Kardashians family was very high profile at the time and MGK was just an upcoming artist looking for his big break. Plus, he has Megan Fox calling him "daddy," so his dreams have totally come true.
