Machine Gun Kelly is making headlines right now – and for once, it isn’t due to his on/off relationship with Megan Fox.
The “Bloody Valentine” musician has been sparking concern with his noticeably slimmer frame recently, prompting fans to speculate about what’s behind the sudden transformation. As it turns out, MGK is more than willing to divulge, revealing that he’s been going on four-day water fasts and only eating a couple of times a week, which has unsurprisingly caused fans to worry.

The 35-year-old rapper, real name Colson Baker, was very open during an appearance on The New York Times’ Popcast on August 7th. He revealed that he started doing water fasts when he got home from rehab back in January this year, which essentially involved no food or drinks except for water.
According to MGK, the fasting put him in a “delirious state” which he seemed to welcome, as it distracted him from the noise surrounding his breakup with the Jennifer’s Body star, who was pregnant with their daughter. Speaking to hosts Jon Caramanica and Joe Coscarelli about life post-rehab, he recalled: “I came out, the world was very loud about me and my personal business.”
“Ironically, neither me or Megan have said anything,” the “Emo Girl” rapper continued, adding: “I mean, still to this day, there could have been zero drama and you would never know because none of us have said one thing.”
