PREVIEW

Machine Gun Kelly opens up about troubled relationship with mum. Talking in a raw conversation with Bunnie XO on the eighth season opener of her popular podcast, Dumb Blonde, he admits: "I would like to say for the record I love my mom dearly and I misrepresented her a lot early in my career.” "And not misrepresented in the sense of not speaking truth. I was speaking my truth, but I didn't give the masses the chance to understand her truth.” Kelly's mother left the family when he was young, leading to several years of estrangement, during which time the singer says she didn't look for him. ”You gotta get to me... come f**king find me no matter what it takes," he says. Kelly wrote about his issues with his mother in his 2019 song, Burning Memories which includes the lyrics, "I spent 20 years waiting on the stairs / Now I'm finished thinking anyone'll ever hear these prayers.” Kelly reconciled with his mother in 2021 and then posted a photo of the two together on Instagram in 2022 with the caption, "Introducing my mom.” The full podcast debuts Monday 5 August.
